Medical Dermatology
Comprehensive medical dermatology for patients of every age. We diagnose and treat the full range of skin, hair, and nail conditions — from a routine spot check to a chronic condition you've lived with for years.
What we treat
The list below covers the medical conditions we see most often. If something you're worried about isn't here, call the office — most things you'd think to ask about, we treat.
01 / Screening
Regular full-body skin exams are recommended for patients with a history of skin cancer, family history of melanoma, prior tanning bed use, a high mole count, or any history of abnormal moles. Studies show that skin exams by a board-certified dermatologist detect skin cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage.
02 / Common
Acne and rosacea are common skin conditions that can appear at any stage of life. Our providers build an individualized treatment plan that may combine topical regimens, oral medications, and in-office procedures — and they adjust the plan over time as your skin responds.
03 / Common
We evaluate and treat a wide variety of rashes — including eczema, psoriasis, allergic reactions, and other inflammatory skin conditions. Most rashes resolve quickly with the right diagnosis and prescription, even if they've been frustrating you for weeks.
04 / Specialty
Dr. Brown trained with leaders in the field of nail disease and has particular interest in nail conditions. She has significant experience in nail surgery for both the diagnosis and treatment of nail disorders, including nail tumors and pigmented lesions of the nail.
05 / Specialty
The pattern of hair loss, history of presentation, and associated symptoms help determine the cause and the right treatment. Our providers perform a thorough exam and review your medical history. A scalp biopsy may be necessary in some cases. Treatments include topical, oral, and injected medications, including platelet-rich plasma.
06 / Pre-cancer
Actinic keratoses are precancerous growths caused by years of sun damage. They often appear as a persistent scaly or rough patch on sun-exposed areas like the face or hands. We treat them with liquid nitrogen, topical prescription medication, or in-office procedures including chemical peels and photodynamic therapy (PDT).
07 / Specialty
Allergic contact dermatitis is a form of eczema that occurs when the skin becomes sensitized to a foreign substance — fragrances, preservatives, or metals in everyday products. It's diagnosed through physical exam and comprehensive patch testing performed in our office. Treatment combines allergen avoidance with topical or oral medications.
08 / Common
Warts that don't respond to over-the-counter treatments should be evaluated by a dermatologist. We have a variety of in-office treatment options for warts that have outlasted the drugstore aisle.
09 / Urgent
Skin infections range from mild to serious. If you have redness, swelling, warmth, or pain that appears suddenly and is spreading, seek care from a skilled medical team. DermNow is built for situations like this — call the office and ask for a same-day slot.
10 / Specialty
Many autoimmune conditions affect the skin — from lupus to dermatomyositis. They often present as rashes, but internal organs can also be involved. If you have an atypical rash, see a dermatologist for the proper diagnosis and a coordinated treatment plan.
11 / Chronic
Eczema can be frustrating. Many patients have spent years rotating through over-the-counter lotions that don't quite work. The team will help find the right prescription regimen to repair your barrier and clear the flare. Treatment options range from topicals to oral medications to injectables.
12 / Chronic
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that leaves red plaques with white or silver scale. It can affect numerous locations on the body and the scalp. Mild cases are treated with topical prescriptions; moderate to severe cases often respond best to oral or injectable medications.
13 / Chronic
Recurrent cysts and boils can be a sign of infection, or — more often — a chronic inflammatory skin condition called hidradenitis suppurativa. These conditions are managed with medications, injections, and procedural treatments to prevent scarring and pain.
14 / Common
Cold sores can be painful and affect your confidence. The team will help you obtain prescription therapy to stop a cold sore at the first onset of symptoms — and discuss prophylactic treatment if you're prone to frequent outbreaks.
15 / Discreet
Sexually transmitted diseases can cause numerous skin findings — sores, bumps, rashes. Our team obtains appropriate testing to confirm a diagnosis and treats you discreetly so you can feel better quickly. Care is private and judgment-free.
16 / Common
There are many benign skin growths — cysts, lipomas, seborrheic keratoses, skin tags — that can be bothersome even when they're not dangerous. We discuss your options for removal and help you decide on the right approach.
17 / Cosmetic-medical
Have a mole you want removed for cosmetic or comfort reasons? We remove moles quickly and painlessly with minimal scarring. If there's any concern about the mole itself, it's sent for histologic evaluation.
18 / Chronic
Chronic hives can sometimes be caused by allergens or internal disease. Dr. Brown and the team perform a comprehensive workup to rule out internal causes and guide medical therapy to clear your hives.
19 / Common
If you have dandruff that can't be controlled with over-the-counter shampoos, prescription therapy works. There are many shampoos and scalp solutions that clear dandruff and flaking once the right one is matched to the underlying type.
20 / Specialty
Vitiligo is an autoimmune loss of pigment that causes white or depigmented patches anywhere on the body or face. Treatment can be challenging, but topical and oral therapies — and newer FDA-approved options — can help restore pigment over time.
21 / Cosmetic-medical
Hyperpigmentation can be due to melasma or post-inflammatory pigment change. Regardless of the cause, the team develops a customized treatment plan that may include topical therapy, chemical peels, or laser treatment.
22 / Pediatric
Dr. Brown and the team evaluate birthmarks and make a specific diagnosis. Some birthmarks in children (vascular birthmarks in particular) can be treated with topical or oral medications; others may require procedural or surgical intervention.
23 / Procedural
Keloid and hypertrophic scars can be itchy, painful, and cosmetically concerning. Smaller keloids respond well to in-office steroid injections that flatten the scar over time. Larger keloids may require surgical removal followed by adjunctive therapy.
24 / Chronic
Toenail fungus is notoriously difficult to treat. Most cases require oral medication with lab monitoring. Other options include topical antifungal therapy and laser therapy. We match the treatment to the severity of the case.
