0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to Skin Anarchy. This is Ecta and I have such a wonderful guest with me today. I'm really excited because I think when it comes to skin care, we have so many different terminologies out there, but a lot of them are not really rooted in medicine and science. And there's so much to know, especially when it comes to things like
0:21.1	cleansing your skin and understanding different types of pathologies of that manifest with skin
0:26.7	and how to take care of them. So with us today is Dr. Onwer, who is a renowned cardiologist, an
0:33.8	inventor, a passionate entrepreneur, and he's also the CEO and founder of Clean Skin Care.
0:40.1	So welcome, Dr. Enroy.
0:41.2	I'm so excited to chat with you today and to learn from you.
0:44.7	Thank you, Dr. Acta.
0:46.0	I'm so happy to be on with you and share whatever I can.
0:50.2	Yeah, I would love to get started because I know that you have a very personal aspect of the story
0:55.4	behind Clean. I would love to learn more about yourself and what got you into medicine and then led

1:30.3	little rash on my shin, scratched it, and then this turned out to become a cellulitis
1:38.2	or tissue level skin infection that was moving pretty rapidly, a very tiny little scratch to a size of a silver
1:46.3	dollar in a matter of literally a week. I went to my dermatologist and he cultured it and said
1:54.7	I had metacillin-resistant staff aureus growing there and he placed me on antibiotics orally and
2:04.1	topically and recommended cleansers. And then I couldn't tolerate the chlorhexidine cleanser,
2:11.8	you know, hebeclins. And then he said, well, why don't you do bleach baths? Bleach baths were pretty cumbersome to make.
2:21.3	You put a quarter cup of chlorox in half a tub of water, which is 13 gallons of water.
