Dermatology Conditions
Our dermatology physician assistants can provide diagnosis and treatment for countless conditions involving the skin, nails, and hair. A few examples include:
- Skin Cancer Evaluation. Dermatology physician assistants can identify outward signs of skin cancer, recommending further assessment or treatment as needed.
- Mole Evaluation. While most moles are harmless, some can become cancerous. Dermatology physician assistants are trained in identifying moles that appear to be risky or malignant.
- Hair loss. Several factors can contribute to hair loss, ranging from unhealthy scalp conditions to autoimmune disorders to simple genetics.
- Acne. Acute acne breakouts can compromise your skin and impair your self-confidence. Dermatology physician assistants can develop comprehensive plans to get breakouts under control.
- Warts. Most warts are harmless, but you may wish to get rid of them to improve your appearance. Dermatology physician assistants can quickly and safely remove warts as necessary.
- Eczema. Eczema is an itchy irritation of the skin, usually resulting in a rash. The right dermatological care can help minimize these outbreaks and restore the skin to clarity.
- Rosacea. Rosacea is a skin condition that can lead to a red appearance, potentially leading to self-consciousness. Dermatology physician assistants can prescribe the most effective treatments.
- Melasma. This skin condition is characterized by brown or gray spots, often resembling freckles. There are various treatments to restore a clearer countenance.
- Psoriasis. While there is no cure for this chronic skin condition, dermatology physician assistants can recommend treatments to alleviate the symptoms and make them very manageable.
- Anti-aging skincare. With time, the skin loses its natural elasticity, resulting in wrinkles, sagging, and hollowness. The right skincare routine can minimize these unwanted effects.
- Nail disease. Nails may become compromised in appearance or even functionality. Dermatology physician assistants are trained to treat conditions affecting the nails.
- Skin tags. Skin tags are harmless but can become irritated or painful when they rub against clothing. A dermatology physician assistant can safely remove any unwanted skin tags for you.
Why Consider Acne Treatment?
Acute acne breakouts can compromise your skin and impair your self-confidence. Dermatology physician assistants can develop comprehensive plans to get breakouts under control.
With the right clinical approach, acne symptoms can be resolved and outbreaks can be kept under control. Our experienced dermatology providers are happy to provide individualized acne treatment for all patients.
Treat Moderate To Severe Acne
There are several types of acne treatments, and your dermatology provider will recommend an approach based on the kind of acne spots and the severity of your acne outbreaks. A few of the most common treatments include:
Topical medications. A dermatology provider can provide prescription retinoids or antibiotics to help get your acne under control. Note that these medications are more potent and effective than anything you can get over the counter and more tailored to your needs.
Oral medications. Your dermatology provider will also be able to suggest oral medications, including antibiotics, that can make your acne symptoms easier to manage.
Additional therapies. Some patients also benefit from light therapy, chemical peels, or even steroid injections.
Our Approach To Rosacea Treatment
Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by blushing, flushing, and/or the appearance of blood vessels on the face. While there is no known cure for rosacea, there are a number of treatments that can safely and effectively control the flare-up of rosacea symptoms.
Depending on the severity of your rosacea, we may recommend different types of treatments, which can include:
- Topical medications. There are a number of creams and gels that can help reduce the appearance of blushing or flushing. These medications often provide clear results in mere hours.
- Oral medications. Our skincare specialists may recommend either oral antibiotics or oral acne medications to minimize rosacea bumps and blemishes.
- Laser therapy. We may also suggest using laser therapy, a safe and effective way to render the blood vessels less visible.
Rosacea can be distressing, but it never has to be something you just accept. There are a number of treatments that can make a massive difference. To learn more about treatments for rosacea in Green Bay or Appleton, schedule a consultation at the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery.
