Acne shows up as whiteheads, blackheads and red, tender bumps on the face, chest and back. It's most common in teenagers, and adults get it too. We'll look at what's causing your breakouts and put together a plan, which can include prescription creams, oral medication and in-office extractions. Learn more about acne.

Most adults have between 10 and 40 moles, and most of them are harmless. A mole that changes size, shape or color should be seen by a dermatologist. We check your moles at every full-body skin exam and can remove one in the office if needed. Learn more about moles.

Psoriasis causes raised red patches with silvery scale, usually on the elbows, knees, scalp and lower back. It tends to flare up and settle down over time. Treatment depends on how much skin it covers and where, and options include prescription creams, light therapy, and oral or injectable medication. Learn more about psoriasis.

A rash can come from eczema, an allergy, an infection, or something that touched your skin. Most clear up with over-the-counter care. If yours hasn't gone away after a few weeks, book a visit and we'll find the cause. Learn more about rashes.

Rosacea brings redness, flushing and small visible blood vessels to the cheeks, nose and chin, sometimes with bumps that look like acne. Sun, heat, alcohol and spicy food are common triggers. We treat it with prescription creams and medication, and our VBeam laser targets the redness and visible vessels. Learn more about rosacea.

Warts are small growths caused by HPV, and they appear most often on the hands and feet. They're harmless, and they can spread. If a drugstore treatment hasn't cleared a wart after a couple of months, we can treat it in the office. Learn more about warts.

Lines and wrinkles form as skin loses collagen and elasticity, and years of sun exposure speed up that change. We offer prescription skin care, Botox and Dysport, fillers, and laser resurfacing with Fraxel and Clear + Brilliant. Learn more about wrinkles, and browse our cosmetic treatments.
