Common problems covered by general dermatology include:
Common skin cancers include slow-growing basal and squamous cell carcinomas. Melanoma is a faster-growing cancer that typically develops from moles. Associates in Dermatology specializes in identifying skin cancers and precancerous lesions.
Acne is a widespread problem, causing painful red pimples on the face and sometimes the body. It can affect anyone but is most common during adolescence.
Rashes could be an allergic reaction to something you touch (hives and contact dermatitis) or a symptom of an infection such as fifth disease, chickenpox, or measles.
Eczema is a long-term disorder where patches of skin become red, itchy, flaky, and scaly.
Hair loss could be related to the genes you inherit, environmental factors, or both.
Autoimmune disorders develop when your body’s immune system overreacts to healthy cells in specific areas of your body, killing them as it would harmful bacteria and viruses. Examples include psoriasis and alopecia areata.
Warts are small, hardened areas of skin caused by a viral infection.
Skin blemishes include skin tags, melasma, rosacea, moles and freckles, birthmarks, and acne scars.
Fungal nails are discolored, thickened, and may eventually crumble.
In addition to treating adults, Associates in Dermatology offers expert pediatric dermatology services for children of all ages. The practice also provides comprehensive cosmetic dermatology.
The treatment your condition requires depends on its nature and severity, other health problems, and your preferences, but examples include:
Some dermatology treatments are straightforward, while others require long-term or specialized care. Your dermatologist discusses your options so you can make an informed choice.
