  • Acne and Rosacea

    Acne is the most common skin condition treated by dermatologists. It is extremely prevalent in teenagers but also affects adults. Many things contribute to the development of acne including oil, bacteria that live on our skin and hormones. All of these factors lead to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, inflammation, cysts, and nodules that can eventually lead to scarring. Acne can be a source of physical discomfort as well social embarrassment at times. Rosacea is a condition that leads to redness, flushing, and pimples along the nose, cheeks, forehead and/or chin. The skin may burn, sting or become very sensitive. Sometimes the redness is the most prominent component, other times acne-like breakouts are more common. Some people develop thickening of the skin with a bumpy texture that can lead to enlargement of the involved areas (called rhinophyma when it involves the nose). The eyes can be affected as well, causing redness, irritation, blurriness, or “floaters.”

  • Eczema and Dermatitis

    Eczema is a common condition treated by dermatologists. It is also known by the medical term atopic dermatitis. People with eczema sometimes also have seasonal allergies or asthma. It often begins in infancy and continues into childhood. Many people eventually grow out of eczema but others continue to have it to some degree into adulthood. Dermatitis is a broad term used to describe any form of inflammation in the skin. The result of the inflammation is red, swollen, itchy, flaky skin. Contact dermatitis is one of the most common types. Allergic contact dermatitis occurs when your immune system develops an allergic reaction to something that touches your skin. Allergies to metals such as nickel (which is found in snaps on clothing, jewelry, electronics, etc.) are quite common. Poison ivy is another form of allergic contact dermatitis. Irritant contact dermatitis is not a true allergy but occurs when something irritates the skin due to enough contact. Soaps, chemicals and even water are frequent culprits. Diaper rash is another common form. A dermatologist can help you identify the source of your dermatitis, then develop a treatment plan that involves avoidance of triggers and medications to treat the inflammation that is present in the skin.

  • Moles and Skin Growths

    Almost everyone has moles (also known as nevi) on their skin; some have more than others. Normal moles tend to be one color, round with smooth borders, and unchanged from month to month. It can be normal for a mole to grow slowly over time, but more rapid changes in color, shape or size are cause for concern. Many types of skin growths other than moles occur on the skin. Seborrheic keratoses are an example that is very common in adults. They are waxy, rough bumps that develop a wart-like texture. They are usually brown, although they can vary in color and size. They are generally harmless, though they can become a nuisance if they rub on clothing or grow in areas that are easily irritated. In those instances, a dermatologist may treat the growth using cryotherapy or various other techniques. A biopsy may be performed if there is any question about the diagnosis.

  • Psoriasis

    Psoriasis is a chronic condition that leads to red patches and plaques with an overlying thick silvery-white scale on the skin. The elbows, knees, and scalp are common areas of involvement, but any location can be affected. It occurs when the immune system reacts abnormally in the skin and causes it to grow differently than normal skin. It is often itchy or painful. Even though it is not contagious, it frequently causes social embarrassment or isolation.
