Skin rashes and hair and scalp problems are evaluated by history and examination. Microscopic examination and skin biopsy are useful.

Infections such as "ringworm" fungus, staph/MRSA boils, virus (herpes) and others are tested microscopically immediately in the office, cultured, and treated with topical and pills as appropriate.

Growths such as moles, warts, tags, cysts, keratoses, and unusual lesions, are evaluated by examination. Biopsies, if needed, are done with local anesthetic usually in the course of the initial visit, with no pain worries and no restriction on driving and bathing afterward. When indicated, growths are removed by liquid nitrogen freezing (cryosurgery) and surgery.

Skin cancer is surgically treated in the office with comfortable local anesthetic and good cosmetic results.

Moles are monitored for cancerous changes by digital photography. The images are stored on a laptop and viewed for comparison on subsequent skin examinations.

Surface microscopic examination of skin moles (dermoscopy) is used to closely evaluate moles.

Acne is treated by topical and pills including Accutane when indicated. Facials (click here) are helpful. New treatments such as laser are always being evaluated.
