Dermatology Treatments for Optimal Skin
Dermatologists are specialists in treating skin disorders including many types of rashes including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, lichen sclerosis, and many others. The first step is making a correct diagnosis and we offer various treatments depending on wants and needs of our patients. We can treat with anything including topicals or the newest biologics on the market. There have been numerous advances in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis over the years and life changing treatment options.
We also treat many benign lesions including cysts, warts, lipomas, moles, atypical moles, actinic keratosis. Some lesions can be treated with Cryotherapy, simple shave removals, or surgical excision.
Preventative Cancer Screenings for Patients
Skin cancers are the bread and butter of Dermatology. Dr. Kuykendall finds cancers on basic skin exams that patients did not even know they had. This is why we offer skin exams to patients on the first visit. The most common cancer is basal cell carcinoma and when caught early the treatment is minimal. Squamous Cell Carcinomas and Melanomas are deadly but when caught early can be cured with excision. The majority of melanomas she finds are in early stages and easily treated. She also works closely with well known Dermatopathologists who are specialists in skin pathology and read every biopsy she performs.
Inflammatory Disorders of the Skin
She also has a passion for various skin disorders of the skin including acne, rosacea, Hidradenitis suppurativa, folliculitis, and many others. These disorders are frequently under treated and we will work with you to decide the best treatment. Acne can especially be troublesome in adults as well as kids. She also highly believes in Accutane for adults and kids and loves the life changing results.
