When to Seek Care for Skin Conditions
How We Personalize Care for Other Skin Conditions
Diagnosis and Testing
We start with a detailed history, dermoscopic exam, and when needed, bedside tests (such as KOH prep) or biopsy. Clear diagnosis allows us to focus on what will actually help your skin condition.
Treatment Options
Plans can include prescription topicals, oral medications, and in-office procedures (cryotherapy, extraction, sclerotherapy, laser or light such as IPL), plus skincare routines that protect your barrier and help maintain results.
Other Skin Conditions We Diagnose and Treat
Hives (urticaria) are raised, itchy welts that can appear suddenly after a trigger such as infection, food, medication, heat, or stress. We identify likely triggers, calm symptoms with antihistamines or short courses of other therapies, and guide prevention to help reduce flares. Seek urgent care for any trouble breathing or swallowing.
Hyperpigmentation is excess skin color from inflammation, sun exposure, hormones, or injury. We distinguish melasma, post-inflammatory dark spots, and sun damage, then personalize care using daily SPF, brightening topicals (such as azelaic acid or retinoids), chemical peels, and in select cases energy-based treatments.
Keratosis pilaris causes tiny, rough bumps—often on the arms, thighs, or cheeks—when keratin builds up in hair follicles. While harmless, texture and redness can bother patients. We recommend gentle exfoliation and moisturizers with urea or lactic acid, and we design routines that can smooth skin over time.
Actinic keratoses are rough, scaly patches from chronic sun exposure and are considered precancerous (they can progress to certain skin cancers if untreated). We confirm the diagnosis and treat with cryotherapy, prescription creams, or field therapies. Ongoing sun protection and regular skin checks are essential.
Fungal infections (like ringworm or athlete’s foot) can cause red, scaly, itchy patches or nail changes. We perform focused exams and, when needed, simple tests to confirm the organism, then prescribe targeted topical or oral antifungals and hygiene strategies to help limit recurrence.
Cutaneous yeast (Candida or Malassezia) can lead to red, itchy rashes in skin folds or fine, scaly discoloration on the chest and back (tinea versicolor). We tailor antifungal shampoos, creams, or short oral courses and help modify contributing moisture and heat.
Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin condition that causes small, dome-shaped bumps, often in clusters. It can spread through contact. Options include watchful waiting, in-office extraction or freezing, and at-home treatments—selected based on age, location, and comfort.
Shingles (herpes zoster) presents with one-sided pain followed by a blistering rash. Early antiviral therapy—ideally within 72 hours—can shorten illness and may reduce complications. We coordinate prompt treatment, pain control, and discuss vaccination to help lower future risk. Avoid direct contact while blisters are open.
Spider veins are small, red or purple vessels on the legs or face that become visible with age, hormones, or genetics. After evaluation, we may recommend sclerotherapy or laser/light options (including IPL for select concerns) to improve appearance.
