Acne Treatments
Acne is very common, and affects teens and adults. Proper treatment is essential to preventing life long acne scars. Acne can often be treated effectively with oral and topical medications.
Eczema
Eczema is characterized by inflamed, usually dry, skin coupled with itching and redness. This condition is often treated with topical and/or or oral medications.
Skin Cancer Screening
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. We can screen for various cancers such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). If suspicious lesions are detected, we can perform a biopsy to determine what treatment is needed.
Moles
Irregular moles, or moles that are changing in appearance should be examined by a medical professional. We can examine and biopsy moles to determine what, if any, treatment is needed.
Actinic Keratosis (Pre-cancerous spots)
If left untreated, actinic keratosis can become skin cancers. These spots are often red, scaly places that don’t heal. These can be treated effectively with freezing treatment or surgical removal.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes areas of rough thickened skin. There’s no cure but there are several effective treatments that have been made available in the last several years. Mild psoriasis is managed by topical medications. Severe psoriasis that doesn’t respond to topical medications can be treated with biologic or other medications.
Warts
Warts are skin growths caused by a viral infection. There are a variety of treatment options, but common warts often respond well to a freezing treatment we can administer.
Rashes
Rashes have many different causes and may be caused by fungal infections, bacterial infections, skin irritants, etc. We can both diagnose and treat rashes.
