Acne

This disease is a very common one affecting teenagers and adults alike. Treatments available through this office include traditional oral antibiotics and topical regimens, which include Retin A and alphahydroxy acids. We also do chemical peels, prescribe Spironalactone, oral contraceptives, Blu-U light treatments, and Accutane for the most difficult cases.


Eczema

The most common form of eczema refers to a skin rash and itching, which is determined by heredity and environmental factors. Treatments include topical cortisones, topical tars, antihistamines, moisturizers, PUVA and narrow band UVB light treatments, Evening Primrose Oil, and topical immunomodulating agents.


Moles

Moles come in many sizes and shapes and forms. They may be round or flat, flesh toned, brown, tan or black, and may be benign, pre-malignant, or malignant. A baseline mole examination is suggested for most patients. Atypical or malignant moles are excised as required. Benign moles may be removed if they are irritated or if the patient so desires for cosmetic reasons.


Warts

Warts are skin growths caused by the human papilloma virus. They may occur almost anywhere on the body. Treatment options include home regimens consisting of topical acids or irritants, in-office treatments including cryosurgery, cautery, or surgery. Immunomodulating stimulants can also be used when necessary.
