Dermatology Specialists Offers Comprehensive Dermatology Care During National Healthy Skin Month and Year-Round

Each year in the United States, November is recognized as National Healthy Skin Month. The American Academy of Dermatology began this awareness campaign in 1997 to help Americans pay attention to their skin and adopt healthy habits for caring for their skin, hair, and nails.

Healthy skin has a massive impact on overall well-being as even mild skin disorders can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, anger, depression, shame, social isolation, low self-esteem, and embarrassment. With more than a third of all visits to primary care doctors triggered by skin conditions, it’s more important than ever to establish a trusting relationship with a board-certified dermatologist.

The skilled providers at Dermatology Specialists are trained to diagnose and treat a variety of skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, melasma, warts, and much more. Their goal is to analyze the individual dermatology needs of each patient to help them achieve their healthiest skin for years to come and feel confident in their skin. By using the latest research, proven treatments, and advanced technology, the physicians, surgeons, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners are able to deliver an exceptional level of medical care.

Skin cancer diagnosis and treatments are also a fundamental part of Dermatology Specialists’ comprehensive service offerings. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, and luckily, it is highly curable when detected early. That is why it is essential to schedule an annual skin exam with a dermatology provider so that any suspicious or changing spots can be identified, examined, and treated if necessary.

There are multiple treatment options for skin cancer, including surgical options like curettage and electrodessication and Mohs surgery as well as nonsurgical options like image-guided superficial radiation therapy (IG-SRT), cryotherapy, and topical chemotherapy. Which option will be recommended by the team at Dermatology Specialists is determined by the type of skin cancer as well as the cancer’s size, location, and features noted following a biopsy. The providers work with each patient to choose the best treatment option for their individual needs.

Dermatology Specialists offers a variety of treatment options for cosmetic concerns as well. It is important for patients to feel confident in their skin, and things like fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and unwanted hair can negatively affect a person’s self-image. Luckily, many cosmetic concerns can be remedied using laser treatments and/or cosmetic injectables like Botox, Dysport, and dermal fillers.
