As such, the location of the symptoms can help a doctor identify the affected nerve. Dermatone—the official skin protection of the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team—has been tested and trusted in some of the most extreme environments on earth, from Mount Everest to Death Valley to Disney World.

Key Features

Since 1981, Dermatone has pioneered defending your skin from sun, wind, and cold—whether you’re spending a day at the beach, a weekend on the slopes, or a month in the mountains. A pinched nerve occurs when a nerve root has become compressed by a bone, disc, tendon, or ligament. This compression can occur anywhere along the spine, but it usually occurs in the lower, or lumbar, region.
