Medical dermatology

Medical dermatology is the day-to-day care of skin, hair, and nails — from a new rash to a long-standing condition that needs follow-up.

What a medical visit can cover

At a medical visit, Dr. Avshalumova examines the area that is bothering you, asks about your history, and discusses treatment options. Some concerns can be treated in the office the same day. Others need a prescription, a biopsy, or a later procedure.

Conditions evaluated in this practice include:

• Acne and razor bumps
• Eczema, dry or itchy skin, and other rashes, including poison ivy or oak
• Psoriasis and rosacea
• Skin allergies and contact dermatitis
• Moles, age spots, seborrheic keratoses, and actinic keratoses (solar keratoses)
• Skin cancer evaluation and annual skin screening
• Warts, molluscum, and fungal infections of the skin, hair, or nails
• Hair loss and nail problems
• Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
• Skin infections such as impetigo or folliculitis, abscesses, and wound care
• Pigmentation changes, sun-damaged skin, and vascular lesions or hemangiomas
• Hives (urticaria) and certain sexually transmitted infections that affect the skin
