Acne
A common condition affecting both teens and adults, acne occurs when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Treatment options range from topical medications to advanced therapies, like AviClear® laser treatment, depending on severity.
Actinic Keratosis
These rough, scaly patches are caused by long-term sun exposure and are considered precancerous. Early treatment for actinic keratosis helps reduce the risk of progression to skin cancer.
Alopecia (Hair Loss)
Hair loss can result from genetics, autoimmune conditions, or other underlying factors. Evaluation helps determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment options.
Atopic Dermatitis
A chronic form of eczema, atopic dermatitis causes dry, itchy, inflamed skin. Management focuses on restoring the skin barrier and reducing flare-ups.
Bacterial Skin Infections
Conditions such as impetigo or cellulitis occur when bacteria enter the skin. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent spread or complications.
Basal Cell Carcinoma
The most common type of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma often appears as a pearly bump or a sore that does not heal. It is highly treatable, and several effective removal options are available, including excision, electrodesiccation and curettage, superficial radiation therapy, and Mohs surgery.

Contact Dermatitis
This rash develops after exposure to an irritant or allergen. Identifying and avoiding the trigger is key to preventing recurrence.
Cyst
Cysts are closed sacs beneath the skin that may contain fluid or debris. While often harmless, they can be drained via incision and drainage if they become inflamed or bothersome.
Eczema
A general term for inflammatory skin conditions that cause dryness, redness, and itching. Treatment is tailored to reduce symptoms and improve skin health.
Fungal Skin Infections
These infections, including athlete’s foot and ringworm, thrive in warm, moist environments. Antifungal treatments are typically effective when used consistently.
Melanoma
A serious form of skin cancer that can spread if not caught early. Regular skin checks and prompt evaluation of changing moles are essential.
Lichen Planus
An inflammatory condition that can affect the skin, mouth, or nails, often presenting as purplish, itchy bumps. Management focuses on symptom control.
Lichen Sclerosus
A chronic condition that typically affects genital skin, causing thinning, irritation, and discomfort. Early treatment can help prevent progression.
Lipoma
Lipomas are soft, benign fatty growths beneath the skin. They are usually painless and may be removed if they grow or cause discomfort.
Melasma
This condition causes dark, patchy pigmentation, often on the face. It is commonly triggered by sun exposure and hormonal changes.
Melanoma
A serious form of skin cancer that can spread if not caught early. Regular skin checks and prompt evaluation of changing moles are essential.
Mole Removal
Moles may be removed for cosmetic reasons or if there is concern about abnormal changes. Evaluation helps determine the best course of action.
Perioral Dermatitis
This condition causes small, red bumps around the mouth and sometimes the eyes. It often requires targeted treatment and avoidance of certain triggers.
Psoriasis
A chronic autoimmune condition that leads to thick, scaly plaques on the skin. Psoriasis treatment focuses on managing symptoms and reducing inflammation.
Rosacea
Rosacea causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like breakouts, typically on the face. Treatment helps control flare-ups and improve skin tone.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
This common condition causes flaky, greasy patches on the scalp and face. It is often managed with medicated shampoos and topical treatments.
Seborrheic Keratosis
These benign growths appear as waxy, stuck-on lesions. While harmless, they can be removed with treatment like cryotherapy if they become irritated or cosmetically bothersome.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
A common skin cancer that may appear as a scaly patch or sore that does not heal. Early treatment is important, and effective options may include excision, electrodesiccation and curettage, superficial radiation therapy, or Mohs surgery depending on the specific case.
Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
Shingles is a reactivation of the chickenpox virus, causing a painful rash. Early treatment can help reduce severity and complications.
Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, soft growths often found in areas of friction. They are harmless and can be easily removed if desired.
Sun Spots
Also known as age spots, these areas of increased pigmentation result from sun exposure. Treatments can help improve skin tone and clarity.
Tinea
Tinea refers to a group of fungal infections affecting the skin, scalp, or nails. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications.
Urticaria
Also known as hives, this condition causes raised, itchy welts on the skin. It may be triggered by allergies, stress, or unknown factors.
Viral Skin Infections
These include conditions like molluscum contagiosum and viral rashes. Management depends on the specific virus and severity.
Vitiligo
Vitiligo causes loss of skin pigment, resulting in white patches. Treatment for vitiligo focuses on stabilizing the condition and improving appearance.
Warts
Warts are common, contagious skin growths caused by a viral infection in the outer layer of the skin. They can appear on different areas of the body and may resolve on their own, or in some cases, wart removal may be required.
Wrinkles
Wrinkles develop as a natural part of aging and sun exposure. A range of treatment options can help improve skin texture and maintain a more refreshed appearance.
