Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles get clogged and become inflamed. Dermatological treatments can help you manage your acne and improve the overall appearance of your skin.

Acne scars are lasting reminders of past battles with acne breakouts. These scars can vary in type and severity, often causing distress due to their impact on one’s complexion and self-esteem.

Actinic keratosis (AK), also known as solar keratosis, by far the most common precancer, is the result of prolonged exposure to sunlight. It is a small crusty or scaly bump or horn that arises on or beneath the skin surface.

Age spots, also called liver spots, are rounded, flat parts of the skin that range from light brown to black and have sharply defined borders. They commonly occur on the face and back of the hands but can be found on any part of the body.

Aging affects the entire body, including the skin. When an individual ages, their skin may develop age spots and/or wrinkles.

Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to an unfamiliar element by treating it as if it’s a harmful substance when it is not.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss in both men and women. This type of hair loss in women can manifest as patchy bald spots on the scalp, eyebrows, or eyelashes. The exact cause of alopecia areata remains unclear, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is the most common type of arthritis dermatologists treat. It is classified as a multifaceted autoimmune condition closely associated with psoriasis, characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin.

Basal cells line the deepest layer of the epidermis. Basal cell carcinomas are malignant growths–tumors–that arise in this layer. Basal cell carcinoma typically affects people of fair complexion with a history of prolonged sun exposure, or repeated episodes of sunburn.

Broken blood vessels on the face, medically known as telangiectasia, is a dermatological condition caused by weakened and dilated blood vessels that appear visible near the skin’s surface.

The carpal tunnel is a passage in the wrist through which the median nerve runs. This nerve controls the movement in your hand and fingers. When the median nerve is compressed, it causes carpal tunnel syndrome, restricting your hand’s ability to move and feel.

Contact dermatitis is a common skin condition triggered by an allergic reaction or irritation from touching a substance. Whether it’s a rash from a new necklace or redness from cleaning chemicals, it can be frustrating and uncomfortable.

Cradle cap, or seborrheic dermatitis, is a common skin condition in infants caused by excessive oil production.

Also known as dry skin, Xerosis is prevalent when the skin appears dull and flaky. It occurs more commonly when the environmental humidity is low, as in the winter.

Also known as atopic dermatitis, eczema is a skin condition involving itching and inflammation. Although it can occur anywhere on the skin, eczema most commonly affects the arms and knees.

A weakened immune system, direct contact, or poor hygiene can cause fungal infections. The fungi associated with this condition grow in warm, damp places and live on dead tissue surrounding the toenails, hair and outer layers of the skin.

Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled bumps that often appear on the wrist or hand but can also develop on other joints. While typically painless, they can cause discomfort or limit movement.

Dealing with genital warts can be uncomfortable and distressing. These common sexually transmitted infections can cause itching and burning sensations in the genital area.

Hives, also known as urticaria, involve an itching sensation and swollen, red marks. The itching may be mild to severe, depending on the case. Hives are due to an increase in body temperature with sweating, exercise, hot showers, and/or anxiety. 

Sweating is a necessary bodily function that regulates body temperature. When sweat evaporates off your skin it cools you down, which is why you sweat when it is hot or when you’re exercising. Some people sweat more than might be necessary to cool their body, which medically is called hyperhidrosis.

Irregular brown spots are caused by hyperpigmentation, aging, melasma, medications, or chemicals.

A keloid scar occurs when scar tissue continues to form after a wound has closed. It extends above the skin and is usually pink or purple. Keloid scars grow over time, and the affected area may be tender, itchy, or hurt when touched.

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer — one of the most serious types because advanced melanomas have the ability to spread to other parts of the body. It begins when melanocytes (pigment cells) gradually become more abnormal and divide without control or order.

Melasma is a common skin disorder (of skin discoloration) that is often associated with sun exposure. The exact cause of Melasma is still unknown, however researchers theorize that Melasma occurs as a result of the color-making skin cells (melanocytes) producing too much color or melanin resulting in patchy discoloration.

Moles are a common and usually benign type of skin growth formed by clusters of pigment-producing cells. They require immediate evaluation by a certified dermatologist if they change in size, shape, color or exhibit irregular edges.

Fingernails and toenails protect the tissues beneath your toes and fingers. The term “nail disease” refers to various conditions affecting the nails and the skin surrounding them.

A port-wine stain is a benign birthmark that is caused by enlarged capillaries under the skin's surface. These swollen capillaries produce a light pink to dark-red- violet discoloration of the skin.

Pregnancy acne is a common skin condition that can cause blemishes on the face, neck, back, and chest.

Psoriasis is a condition in which skin cells build up and form thick dry patches on the surface of the skin.

Rashes are typically defined as any change in the skin’s normal color, appearance, or texture. A rash may appear across the entire body or be localized in one area. Rashes vary greatly in appearance and can be caused by a variety of factors.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the central face. It’s characterized by flare-ups and remissions.

Scar tissue often forms as medium to larger wounds heal to cover the injured area, but this tissue is not as strong as normal tissue. Scar tissue forms a pattern of fibers straight across instead of the crosshatched pattern of normal skin tissue.

Skin allergies are essentially your body’s way of telling you that there is something your environment that it doesn’t like. They are normally not life-threatening nor contagious (except in specific cases like chickenpox), and with proper treatment, can be completely healed.

Skin cancer, like other forms of cancer, is caused by an abnormal growth of cells, in this case the growth is within the skin cells. Skin cancer can manifest anywhere on the body. However, it is most likely to occur on skin that has had exposure to sunlight. The most common areas are the face, neck, hands, and arms.

Spider veins, also called telangiectasis, are damaged blood vessels that appear as thin red, blue, or purple lines beneath the skin’s surface. They are common on the legs and face but can appear anywhere on the body.

Squamous cell carcinoma is a common skin cancer that develops in the middle and outer layers of the skin.

Many STDs have dermatological symptoms, like rashes, eczema, and dry, itchy skin, which can cause physical and emotional distress.

Stretch marks are indented, reddened streaks that typically appear on the skin following rapid weight gain.

Warts are a skin infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts are small, blister-like growths on the skin. They may itch or hurt depending on their location.

Vitiligo is a condition that develops when the melanin producing cells die or no longer produce melanin. This causes white patches or pigment-free patches of random shapes and patterns to appear on the skin’s surface.
