Common Skin Conditions

Acne occurs when sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria clog hair follicles, causing them to become inflamed.

Our dermatology specialists will work with you to find the right combination of therapies to clear your skin of acne and reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Some of the effective treatment options we offer for acne include:

Atopic dermatitis is the most common form of eczema. The condition causes dry, itchy skin rashes and blisters. Although atopic dermatitis isn’t life-threatening, it can cause bleeding, infections and scarring from scratching.

Atopic dermatitis can’t be cured, but it can be managed. We offer skin care products and medications that:

Moles are brown or black growths on the skin. Although most moles are harmless, they can become cancerous.

Schedule regular appointments to have your moles checked for changes that indicate cancer. If a mole looks cancerous or is cancerous, we can remove it.

Psoriasis is a chronic condition that causes itchy red or white patches on the skin. It is an autoimmune disease and is not contagious. Psoriasis occurs in cycles, with flare-ups followed by remissions.

Our specialists perform preventive procedures and in-office biopsies. We have access to every treatment option for all types of skin cancer—from curettage and desiccation for smaller tumors to surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy for larger tumors.

We are also a provider of Blue Light therapy (photodynamic therapy) for the treatment of precancerous actinic keratoses.

Warts are small, usually skin-colored growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). They are usually harmless but may spread from person to person (though this is not common).

You can treat warts on your hands and feet at home with over-the-counter products. If these products don’t work or a wart is painful or located on the genitalia, make an appointment with us.

We offer several treatment options, including stronger prescription treatments, cryotherapy (freezing the wart off), electrosurgery (burning the wart off) and laser treatment.
