Dermatology
The most common Skin Cancers are:
1. Basal Cell Carcinoma - 80-85% of all skin cancers. Basal cell carcinoma affects cells in the lowest layer of the epidermis.
2. Squamous Cell Carcinoma - 10% of all skin cancers. Squamous cell carcinoma affects cells in the middle layer of the epidermis.
3. Melanoma - 5% of all skin cancers. Melanoma is a rare but very dangerous type of skin cancer. It is the leading cause of death from skin disease.
Skin caners can vary in shape, size, color, so any new or changed appearance of suspicious growths or rashes should be examined immediately by a physician. Note: Early intervention is essential to preventing the cancer from spreading.
Our Advanced Dermatology Doctors are trained to treat patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. This includes the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of problems of the skin, hair and nails. Conditions common among children are moles and birthmarks, dermatitis, acne, warts, vitiligo, insect bites and birth defects. In adults, we treat a range of conditions such as cancers and pre-cancers, rosacea, psoriasis and shingles. We also treat eczema, allergies and other disorders that occur in all age groups, and carefully examine moles or other growths to determine whether they are or may become cancerous. A dermatopathology laboratory is on the premises to process biopsies and tissue for Mohs surgery. Our lab allows our dermatologists to communicate directly with a board-certified dermatopathologist to promptly review the skin biopsy results of our patients.
Acne Treatment
Seeing a dermatologist for Acne Treatments varies depending on the type and severity of lessions, skin types and the patient's age, on average skin changes are visible in six to eight weeks. Options include:
- Laser Resurfacing
- Soft Tissue Fillers and Fat Transfer
- Punch Excisional Surgery for deep "ice-pick" pitted scarring
- Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion
Psoriasis Treatment
Although there is no cure for Psoriasis it can be treated successfully with new Psoriasis treatments, sometimes for months or years and occasionally even permanently. Treatment depends on the type, severity and location of psoriasis; the patient’s age, medical history and life; and the effect the disease has on the patient’s general mental health. The most common treatments for psoriasis are:
- Topical Medications
- Phototherapy
- Photochemotherapy (PUVA)
- Oral or Injectable Medication (for severe symptoms of psoriasis).
Sun Protection
Sunscreen should be generously applied to all exposed skin using a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 30. Choose sunscreens that provide broad-spectrum protection from both Ultraviolet A (UVA) and Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Also be sure to look for ingredients that include at least one of the following:
