Common Skin Conditions We Treat

Contour Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center has extensive experience treating several skin conditions, including:

Hyperpigmentation on the face

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition where the skin produces too much melanin, producing darker patches of skin. This condition can develop through extended sun exposure, hormonal changes or skin injuries from acne or cuts.

Sebaceous Cyst

Cysts

Cysts are pockets of tissue filled with air, fluid or semi-solid material that can form anywhere on the body. They can develop for various reasons, including infections, clogged glands or injuries.

Acne

Acne forms on your skin when hair follicles become clogged with oil or dead skin cells. Many people struggle with acne over the course of their lives.

Eczema

Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition that causes red, blistering, scaly rashes in skin folds that usually itch. The most common areas where eczema forms are on the face, wrists, back of the knees, hands or feet.

Scars and scar types

Scars

Scars form for a variety of reasons, following some surgeries and injuries. Various types of scars exist, including hypertrophic, keloid and atrophic scars.

Types of Skin Cancer and how to detect them

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition similar to eczema. This condition is characterized by thick, often sore rashes on the elbows and knees.

Rosacea

Rosacea

Rosacea is a skin disease that causes redness and swelling on the face. In more mild stages, it will cause facial flushing and more serious cases will cause tiny pimples to form.

Types of Skin Cancer and how to detect them

Skin Cancer Treatment

Besides identifying common skin conditions, we also detect and treat skin cancer. We monitor the appearance of moles and other abnormal growths on the skin to diagnose skin cancer early and design a treatment plan. Using the latest medical dermatology treatments, Contour Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center can improve the health and quality of life of patients living with uncomfortable or unsightly skin disorders. We are nationally recognized for our MOHS micrographic surgery, a precise skin cancer treatment that has a high rate of success.
