Skin problems can come in all shapes and sizes, but nearly all of them are irritating and sometimes embarrassing. Some skin conditions can impact your overall health, and some are triggered by an underlying medical condition. Because skin conditions can be related to a medical condition, you want care from a dermatologist who understands the medical and cosmetic aspects of your concerns.
Dermatology is a field of medicine and plastic surgery dedicated to caring for skin in adults and children. Our dermatologists are involved in the diagnosis and management of health conditions that affect your skin, hair, and nails. Dermatology services in Seattle can address your cosmetic concerns while watching for underlying medical conditions that may have triggered them.
There are several ways you can address your skin concerns, but using dermatology in Seattle is one of the best. Dermatologists can offer a greater range of treatment options and have access to medical-grade products and procedures that a typical day spa does not make available for patients.
Dermatology services can offer facial rejuvenation using a holistic and high-quality approach that offers long-lasting results. When our specialists make recommendations, they also account for underlying conditions instead of just treating what is on the surface. The recommendations we make can have a noticeable impact on your skin’s health and appearance in the long term.
It is crucial to have the correct diagnosis before you begin treatment. You might think you have dry skin, but it could be atopic dermatitis. Our dermatology services assure you of an effective and safe result, as well as answer questions you have about your skin and lifestyle choices you can make to improve your skin’s health.
Many types of skin conditions can cause changes, including rashes, inflammation, papules, pustules, and itching. Some can leave scar tissue that lasts a lifetime. Some skin conditions may have a genetic cause, while others are triggered by lifestyle factors. Our dermatologists may choose from treatment modalities in Seattle that include lifestyle changes, medications, creams, or ointments.
These choices are made with the understanding that your skin barrier is vital to your overall health. It helps stabilize your body temperature, create vitamin D when exposed to the sun, prevent dehydration, and keep out pathogens. Treatments for skin conditions focus on protecting your skin barrier while improving skin changes.
Some skin conditions are minor and do not cause problems with overall health, and others cause severe symptoms. Some are barely noticeable, and others may cause you to avoid being in public. The following are just some of the common skin conditions that we treat. However, this is just a list of examples and is not an inclusive list of all the skin conditions and diseases we treat. For more information or to inquire about how we can help your skin condition, call our office today.
Most acne is caused by skin follicles blocked by bacteria, dead skin cells, and oil that build up in your pores. There are varying degrees of acne, from very mild to deep cystic acne that can cause significant facial scarring.
Eczema is also called atopic dermatitis and leads to dry, itchy skin that can become scaly and crack. While it does look similar, psoriasis is a different skin condition. It is crucial that it is identified correctly so the appropriate treatment can be used.
There are several types of skin infections, some of which can become chronic, such as fungal infections. Proper diagnosis leads to an appropriate treatment regimen.
Not all growths are malignant cancer. Your skin can develop uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells that lead to cancer, or you may have a benign growth. Proper diagnosis is important to protect your overall health.
These are dark spots that appear on the skin and are unrelated to any underlying disease. They are often called age spots, sun spots, and liver spots. They are typically darker in color but can also have a pink or red hue.
Questions about your skin health should be answered by a dermatologist who has the education and training to identify the problem and prescribe the proper skincare regimen. We encourage you to call our office today to schedule your consultation and discover how our dermatology services in Seattle can help you address your skin concerns and achieve your desired results.
