Eczema
Eczema is a catchall term that is used to describe a bunch of chronic skin conditions. These conditions may cause your skin to become inflamed and leave you feeling uncomfortable. Since eczema affects the way that your skin looks, it can have an emotional impact on you. The most common type of eczema is atopic dermatitis. This is mostly seen in children and in babies. Only a dermatologist can accurately diagnose eczema and then provide the treatment needed to ease the symptoms.
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is by far the most common type of cancer. It is also the easiest cancer to cure. If it is diagnosed early, skin cancer can be addressed with very little side effects. The only individuals qualified to accurately diagnose skin cancer are those with dermatology training.
Some of the things that our professional dermatologist will look at are changes in the size, shape or color of skin growths. When skin cancer is not addressed quickly, it can lead to skin deformities, and the cancer can progress to the point that it is life-threatening.
