Acne
Acne is a common skin disorder that occurs when hair follicles become plugged by oil and dead skin cells. Hormones act on sebaceous glands and hair follicles leading to clogged pores and lesions which we commonly call pimples.
Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema
Atopic dermatitis (AD), or eczema, is a chronic skin disorder characterized by dry itchy skin. The word “dermatitis” means inflammation of the skin. “Atopic” refers to a group of diseases in which there is an inherited tendency to develop a triad of allergic conditions: eczema, asthma and hay fever.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by clearly defined, red and scaly plaques on the skin. Psoriasis is a global condition affecting people of all ages, with peaks of onset at 15-25 years and 50-60 years. It tends to persist lifelong, fluctuating in extent and severity.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a common inflammatory rash, characterized by facial redness, superficial dilated blood vessels of the face, papules, pustules and swelling. It most commonly affects middle-aged women and people with fair skin. Left untreated, it worsens over time.
Skin Exams
Skin Exams are crucial in detecting and treating skin cancer early.
Moles
Moles are a common type of growth found on the skin, and are caused by an overgrowth of melanocytes, pigment producing cells of the skin. They often appear as small, dark brown spots and are usually round or oval in shape.
