Acne

Acne can affect people with any skin type – at any age. This condition occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells start turning from just a few red spots to severe acne with painful, solid red lumps that may spread on face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders. At our clinic, we offer an extensive range of treatment options to help our patients get their acne under control. Our advice for acne treatments include oral antibiotics and topical creams and gels. For treating more severe acne, we offer mild acidic cleansers, chemical peels, and stronger antibiotics if needed.


Birthmark

Majority of people are aware that birthmarks are harmless. While some birthmarks disappear with age, others can increase in size along with their associated issues over time. This can make people feel self-conscious by affecting their self-esteem. In rare cases, birthmarks need to be removed because they are growing too quickly and are related to further severe medical conditions. Patients who are concerned about their birthmark for cosmetic or medical reasons should have a discussion and evaluation with a professional dermatologist. Our Specialists provides several options for removing or reducing the appearance of birthmarks.


Blisters

If a brand new pair of shoes or a small sized shoes has ever rubbed your skin, you know that blisters can be truly uncomfortable and annoying. Blisters can be caused by allergic reactions, infections, friction or burns.However, a blister can be treated by cleaning and covering it with a bandage. If a blister ruptures, it become infected. If you have a blister that has increased redness, drainage, swelling, or pain – or if you notice red streaks around your blister – you should contact a dermatologist. Our team can provide appropriate treatment to eliminate the infection and to heal your skin.


Cherry Angiomas

Cherry Angiomas are basically harmless red or purple skin growths caused by a clustering of capillaries under the skin. As they are harmless, they usually don’t require treatment, but some patients choose to remove them if they bleed too much aur causes itching. In such cases, they may be indicators of another disorder. If you are concerned about a cherry angioma, our professionals can examine and help in determining best ways to treat it.


Dry Skin

It’s no secret that our skin changes with time. With age, it loses the ability to produce the oils that keep it moisturized. Dry skin symptoms include rough patches, tightness, itchiness, often on the lower legs, arms, hands and elbows. In many people, dry skin can be treated with some changes in their lifestyle, such as limiting the use of soaps, body sprays, perfumes, taking showers and applying moisturizer regularly. If your dry skin is persistent and severely itchy, it’s important to examine and treat it because it can turn into eczema or dermatitis. At our clinic, we provide a wide range of options to treat your severely dry skin.


Melasma

Melasma is skin condition common to women (especially in pregnancy or the ones who take oral contraceptives). It causes brown tan, or gray discoloration on the cheekbones, forehead, nose or chin. It generally becomes worse when expose to the sunlight. Usually, this discoloration goes away on its own a few months after a woman gives birth or when she changes her hormone intake. We can help speed up the healing process on your melasma skin with topical medication and exfoliating treatments, including microdermabrasion, dermaplaning or chemical peels.

It’s a persistent, chronic auto-immune disease that causes cells to build up quickly on the skin, creating thick, discolored (white or red) patches of skin. These patches are called plaques. It can sometimes become extremely itchy and tender. Visible plaques can make patients feel self-conscious and affect quality of life as well.

Sexual Problems and Treatments

Sexual Problems
and their treatments

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs, venereal diseases) are among the most common infectious diseases in the United States today. STDs are sometimes referred to as sexually transmitted infections, since these conditions involve the transmission of an infectious organism between sex partners

When a male faces problems with getting or continuing to keep an erection during sexual intercourse, he may be suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED). ED may result because of an underlying health issue such as heart disease, thus the problem should be discussed with a doctor as soon as possible. 


Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Erectile dysfunction (ED), also referred to as impotence, is the inability to attain or maintain an erection sufficient for successful sexual activity. Normally, an erection occurs when the arteries carrying blood to the penis widen, allowing more blood to flow in, and the veins carrying blood away from the penis are compressed, restricting blood from flowing out. In other words, more blood flows in and less flows out, making the penis larger and causing an erection. Certain nerves and hormones in the body also play a role in initiating and maintaining an erection. Any abnormality involving the nervous, circulatory or hormonal systems, whether due to medication or disease, may affect the ability to develop and sustain an erection, to ejaculate, and to experience orgasm.
