Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema

Eczema or atopic dermatitis is a frustratingly itchy condition that is chronic. Fortunately, recent advances now offer multiple steroid-free options for control of this condition.

Rashes, Acute and Chronic

This is the skin condition that probably offers the most challenge and the greatest reward; being able to diagnosis and treat a condition that has been either unsightly or uncomfortable for months to years. We work diligently with our patients to find the underlying etiology so as to provide the most effective treatment options rather than just treat the symptoms.

Skin in Pregnancy and Post-Partum

Pregnancy brings many changes to the body and that includes the skin. We coordinate care with your obstetrician to provide answers and relief while keeping your unborn child safe.

These are precancerous growths that are on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 5% of these lesions will turn into skin cancer over the next few years if not treated. We have several options for treatment, including topical therapy that is virtually painless. We also offer options that do not result in any significant downtime or pain.

Hives

Hives, especially when chronic, can be frustrating and uncomfortable. We tackle the challenge by searching for an underlying cause and offer alternative treatment options when antihistamines and prednisone are not effective.

Fungal Infections

These pesky infections do not always respond to traditional therapeutic options. Fortunately, we still have a variety of treatment strategies available for resistant or difficult cases.

Seborrheic Keratoses (SK’s)

These common skin growths are pearl to brown-black in color, occur typically after the age of 30, and are the most common pigmented lesion that brings patients to the office for evaluation. These growths are completely harmless, but they may become symptomatic or unsightly. Seborrheic keratoses can easily be removed in the office.
