Common services

What we treat medically.

Acne & rosacea

Individualized treatment plans — topical, oral, hormonal, or device-based — based on severity, triggers, and prior response. Includes consideration of isotretinoin for severe acne where indicated.

Eczema, psoriasis & inflammatory rashes

Diagnosed in person. Treated stepwise from topical corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors through phototherapy, oral systemics, and biologics where indicated.

Hair loss evaluation & treatment

Pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and scarring alopecias evaluated with history, exam, scalp biopsy where needed, and labs. Treatment options range from topicals to oral antiandrogens, JAK inhibitors, and procedural.

Skin cancer screening

Full-body skin exam. Suspicious lesions biopsied in the office. Pathology returns within 7–10 days. We call with results.

Actinic keratoses & sun damage

Pre-cancerous spots treated with liquid nitrogen, topical chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, imiquimod), or photodynamic therapy depending on extent.

Allergic contact dermatitis

Diagnosis through patch testing to identify specific triggers. Treatment includes avoidance, topical therapy, and short courses of systemic anti-inflammatories where needed.

Wart removal & management

Common, plantar, and flat warts treated with cryotherapy, topical agents (salicylic acid, imiquimod, cantharidin), or in-office procedures depending on type and location.

Hives & chronic urticaria

Evaluated for triggers and underlying causes. Treated with antihistamine optimization, leukotriene blockade, or biologic therapy for chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Nail disease evaluation

Diagnosis of nail dystrophies, infections, and tumors. Includes surgical nail-fold biopsy and partial nail avulsion when indicated.

Skin infections

Bacterial (cellulitis, impetigo, MRSA), fungal (tinea, onychomycosis), and viral (herpes simplex, zoster, molluscum) skin infections diagnosed and treated.

Autoimmune skin conditions

Lupus, dermatomyositis, vitiligo, bullous diseases, and other autoimmune presentations evaluated with appropriate workup and managed in coordination with rheumatology where indicated.

Pigmentation disorders

Vitiligo, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and other pigmentation concerns evaluated and treated with topicals, light-based therapy, or new oral options where appropriate.
