General dermatology is a broad term and covers many different skin issues. Some of the issues include:

• Acne – Acne occurs when pores become packed with dead skin cells and oil from the sebaceous gland, causing a breeding ground for bacteria. It affects men just as often as women. While acne is not something that is dangerous to your health, it can be incredibly embarrassing. We treat acne with a three-step approach. The first step is to get rid of the acne with our customized treatment process. Next, we switch gears and focus on the prevention of future acne. The final step is to prevent or treat any scarring that may have occurred.
• Skin cancers – The most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States is skin cancer. UV exposure causes a genetic change in the skin cells, resulting in rapid growth, which can form actinic keratosis and eventually turn into tumors. There are three major categories basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma. Skin cancer is nothing to take lightly. Have your skin checked annually for the various types of skin cancers.
