Medical Conditions

Acne is the most common skin condition that affects teenagers and adults into their 30’s and 40’s. We offer comprehensive acne treatment, which includes topical and oral medications.

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus or HSV. A cold sore typically presents as a red, swollen, blister-looking sore commonly found on the mouth or around the lips. It is estimated that over 50% of the population has the herpes simplex virus. Prompt treatment with oral antiviral medication can help resolve the lesion quicker and minimize discomfort and pain.

There are many causes of rashes that range from environmental factors to systemic disease causes. Irritant and allergic contact dermatitis are common types of rashes. Other less common and potentially severe rashes include lupus, drug eruptions, and systemic malignancy.

Uncontrollable sweating can have a profound effect on the quality of life. Regardless of whether you sweat in your armpits or your toes, several treatment options are available, including topical medications and Botox therapy.

Hair loss (alopecia) can be devastating to those who suffer from it. There are many types of hair loss disorders that affect both men and women as well as children and adults. A thorough exam may include laboratory studies and/or biopsy to uncover the cause and treat it successfully.

Recurrent cysts, boils, and abscesses in areas such as the armpits, lower abdomen, and inner thigh are signs you may have Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). Getting started on treatment is crucial to minimizing permanent scarring and disease progression.

Impetigo is a skin infection caused by group A Streptococcus and/or Staphylococcus aureus. Impetigo may look like “honey-colored” crusting or scabbing. The infection is contagious and spreads by skin-to-skin contact, so it is a good idea to seek treatment and avoid spreading the infection to self or others.

Scars are a normal part of the skin’s healing process after injury or surgical procedure. Some scars become larger and thicker than a “normal” scar and can be itchy or painful. Silicone pads, topical and injectable medications, and laser therapies can be used to alleviate discomfort, lighten pigment-associated pigment changes, and reduce the size and/or thickness of the scar.
