Mole Removal at Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld’s 629 Park Avenue Practice, NYC: The Expertise of a Board-Certified Dermatologist

Moles, medically known as naevi, are ubiquitous companions on the skin, ranging in hue from dark brown to black and sometimes even manifesting as pink, blue, or flesh-toned spots. These small growths vary in size, shape, and texture, scattered across the body. While the majority of moles are benign, the persistent shadow of malignancy is one that should never be ignored.

Mole Removal Process: Medical and Aesthetic Considerations

Mole removal is often recommended when a mole shows signs of malignancy, such as changes in shape, size, or color, or when it becomes symptomatic—itching, bleeding, or weeping. It is essential to remove any mole that poses a potential risk of skin cancer, especially melanoma, which is the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

In cases where a mole is benign but causes cosmetic concerns, particularly if it is located on visible areas such as the face, neck, or back, removal for aesthetic reasons is a common choice.

The Clock is Ticking: My Dog's Battle with Diabetes and Cataracts

The Clock is Ticking: My Beloved Dog, Diabetes, and the Fight Against Cataracts



There is a particular cruelty to time, an inexorable march that cares little for sentiment, love, or the desperate will of a man who has dedicated his life to science and healing. My dog—my beloved, 12.5-pound, black, magnificent Maltipoo—has been diagnosed with diabetes. And though the word itself hits like a freight train, though I momentarily felt the floor drop beneath me, I did what any man of reason does: I sought the best care, the best minds, the best science. Within days, thanks to a skilled and compassionate veterinarian wielding the divine elixir of insulin, she was stabilized. Crisis averted—or so I thought.

Because then came the second punch, the one I didn’t see coming: cataracts.

It is not a question of ‘if,’ but ‘when.’ Within a year, nearly all diabetic dogs develop cataracts. It is a truth so coldly absolute that even my years in medicine, my understanding of probability, and my respect for nature’s merciless order could not soften the blow. And I am no stranger to inevitability—I’ve seen it in the human face more times than I care to count. But this is different. This is my companion. This is family.

She does not care that I am a dermatologist. She does not care what I look like, what car I drive, or how the world measures success. She loves me, my wife, and my family with the kind of unconditional devotion that only a dog can give—pure, unquestioning, and infinite. She is there when I wake up in the morning, when I return home, when the world is loud and chaotic, and when the silence is deafening. She does not ask for much—just love, just presence. And what breaks me, what keeps me awake at night, is knowing that one day, if nothing changes, she may not be able to see my face when I hold her, when I tell her she is the best girl, when I throw her favorite ball and watch her sprint after it with the kind of unfiltered joy that makes life worth living.

Modern veterinary medicine offers cataract surgery with remarkable success. I should be comforted by this. But surgery means risk. Surgery means anesthesia. Surgery means placing my girl under and praying she wakes up unchanged, unshaken, still the boundless source of joy that greets me with the same unfiltered enthusiasm whether I’ve been gone five minutes or five hours.

And yet—there is a cure. A real, tangible, scientifically sound cure. Kinostat, an eye drop that has been heralded by veterinary ophthalmologists across the globe, a miraculous little bottle that can halt the process before it begins. Kinostat works by inhibiting aldose reductase, an enzyme that converts excess glucose into sorbitol in the lens of the eye. In diabetic dogs, sorbitol accumulates, causing the lens to swell and develop cataracts. By blocking this process, Kinostat prevents the formation of cataracts at the molecular level, effectively stopping the disease before it starts.

It is not pseudoscience. It is not the false hope of internet charlatans. It is real medicine. The only problem? It is not FDA-approved. Bureaucracy, red tape, the glacial pace of regulatory approval—all while the clock is ticking.

I am a doctor. I understand the necessity of caution, of thorough review, of ensuring that what we prescribe does no harm. But when something has already been deemed safe, when specialists in the field are singing its praises, when the alternative is an unnecessary surgery fraught with risks—what exactly are we waiting for? Is the purpose of medicine not to heal? Is the purpose of science not to propel forward?

I have spent my life in pursuit of answers. I have watched miracles unfold in operating rooms, seen lives changed by the sheer force of human ingenuity. And yet, here I stand, a man with resources, with knowledge, with a will that does not bend easily—and I am forced to wait. To hope that time moves a little slower for her than it does for the others. To consider what it means that a cure exists but is being withheld, not by nature, not by fate, but by a system that fears moving too fast more than it fears standing still.

So yes, I will prepare for the worst. I will consult the best surgeons. I will be ready. But I will also fight. Because she is more than just a pet. She is joy incarnate, an unspoken presence that makes my world whole. She is my shadow, my solace, my reminder that love needs no conditions, no explanations. And if there is even the slimmest chance that she can be spared the surgeon’s knife, I will find a way. Because the clock is ticking—but so am I.

Dry Skin NYC: A Guide to Healing and Hydration by Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld
Hollywood’s Favorite Celebrity Dermatologist | 629 Park Avenue, NYC

The Weight of Dryness: A Reflection on Skin and Self

There are two kinds of burdens in this life: the ones we carry and the ones we wear. Dry skin is both. It is a quiet affliction, an invisible suffering that is only understood by those who bear its discomfort. The tautness of your cheeks in the cold Manhattan air, the relentless flaking on the subway, the discomfort of skin that feels a size too small—these are struggles that too many accept as inevitable. But here, on this page, I offer you a reprieve. No appointment necessary. No waiting rooms, no prescriptions. Just the knowledge you need to reclaim your skin and, with it, a measure of comfort in your own body.

What Causes Dry Skin?

Dry skin is not simply an absence of moisture but a disruption in the skin’s barrier function. It is the loss of oils that hold water in place, the collapse of the skin’s natural defenses. It can be caused by:

  • New York’s Brutal Winters: Cold air holds less moisture, and indoor heating strips even more from your skin.

  • Hard Water: The minerals in New York City tap water can exacerbate dryness, disrupting your skin’s lipid barrier.

  • Over-Cleansing: That squeaky-clean feeling? It is the sensation of your skin robbed of its protective oils.

  • Aging: With time, skin loses its ability to retain moisture, its lipid layer thinning like a book left too long in the sun.

  • Medical Conditions: Eczema, psoriasis, and even undiagnosed allergies can masquerade as simple dryness.

Your Guide to Healing Dry Skin

If you follow these steps, you may never need to see me in my office at 629 Park Avenue. And that, in itself, would be a victory.

1. Change the Way You Cleanse

  • Use a fragrance-free, hydrating cleanser—nothing that foams, nothing that scrubs.

  • Limit showers to five minutes, lukewarm water only. Hot water is a thief of moisture.

  • Pat skin dry with a soft towel; never rub.

2. Moisturize Like It’s a Ritual

  • Apply moisturizer within 30 seconds of stepping out of the shower—your skin is still porous, primed for absorption.

  • Choose a ceramide-rich, oil-based moisturizer—not a lotion, not a gel. Your skin needs something substantial.

  • If your skin is cracking, apply pure petrolatum (Vaseline) on top as a barrier.

3. Protect Your Skin from NYC’s Environment

  • Use a humidifier in your bedroom—dry air pulls water from your skin as you sleep.

  • In winter, wear gloves, scarves, and layers—cold air is a relentless thief of hydration.

  • Always wear sunscreen, even when it’s cloudy. UV exposure weakens the skin’s moisture barrier.

4. Replenish from Within

  • Drink more water than you think you need—dehydration starts beneath the skin.

  • Eat foods rich in omega-3s (salmon, walnuts, flaxseed) to reinforce the lipid barrier.

  • Limit alcohol and caffeine, which leech moisture from the skin.

5. Over-the-Counter Products That Can Help

  • Cleansers: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser, Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser.

  • Moisturizers: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream, Vanicream Moisturizing Cream.

  • Healing Ointments: Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.

  • Serums & Treatments: The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5, Avene XeraCalm AD Lipid-Replenishing Cream.

6. When to Seek Medical Attention

  • If your skin is so dry that it cracks and bleeds.

  • If over-the-counter creams do nothing.

  • If you experience intense itching, which can indicate eczema or another dermatological condition.

Final Words: Skin as a Testament to Care

There is no vanity in wanting skin that does not betray you, in seeking a body that feels like home. Dryness is not just a condition but a statement—your skin, crying out for protection, for preservation, for the simple dignity of moisture. And in answering that call, you are not just treating skin—you are reclaiming comfort, confidence, and control.

Should you need more than these words, should you require expert care, you will find me here—629 Park Avenue, where knowledge meets expertise, where solutions are crafted not just for the sake of beauty but for the sake of well-being.

But if this guide serves you well, if these steps restore your skin, then know that you have already won. And that is enough.

If you feel you need to see me, Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld, I would be glad to see you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
