Acne AcneThere are many types of acne. The most common is called acne vulgaris. Just beneath the surface of the skin lie hundreds of tiny glands called sebaceous glands. Their function is to collect and excrete the oily substance called sebum to keep the skin healthy. The tiny pathway for the sebum to escape often becomes clogged, and a bacterium called p. acnes grows inside. In a short time, the area swells up with inflammation and forms a pimple on the skin. Some individuals live with merely clogged pores referred to as comedonal acne; some with red bumps, called inflammatory/cystic acne and many with both.There are many treatments for moderate acne including creams, washes, and oral medications. Unfortunately, many patients cannot tolerate the common side effects and limitations of available treatments such as topical irritation and dryness, gastrointestinal difficulties, and antibiotic resistance. If mild to moderate acne is not responding to medications or there are reasons that you cannot be on these medications, then laser therapies may be right for you.

Atopic Dermatitis Atopic Dermatitis (eczema) is an itchy inflammation of the skin. A chronic condition that may be accompanied by asthma or hay fever, eczema is most often seen in infants and children, but it can continue into adulthood or first appear later in life.

Psoriasis Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune disease that appears on the skin. The most common form, plaque psoriasis, appears as raised, red patches or lesions covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells, called scale. Psoriasis can occur on any part of the body and may be associated with other serious health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease and depression.

Rosacea

Melanoma MelanomaCoupled with a yearly skin exam by a doctor, self-examination of your skin once a month is the best way to detect the early warning signs of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma, the three main types of skin cancer. Look for a new growth or any skin change.When a melanoma is detected at an early stage and treated, it is usually curable. Some melanomas are hidden in everyday life - by inconspicuous locations on the body; by clothing; even by hair on our heads. But many, if not most, melanomas can be spotted as soon as they arise - if you know what to look for and check for those signs.

Basal Cell Carcinoma Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer, and is the most common form of cancer in the United States. BCC starts in the top layer of the skin called the epidermis. It is a slow growing and painless lesion. One should be alert to any new skin growth that bleeds easily or does not heal well. It usually occurs in areas of skin exposed to sunlight or UV rays. Your risk for basal cell skin cancer is higher if you have: fair-colored skin and fair complexion, blond or red hair, have a history of exposure to x-rays or other forms of radiation. BCC if left untreated, may grow into nearby tissues and bone.Symptoms of basal cell carcinoma may be very subtle. The cancer may appear as skin bump or growth that is pearly or waxym white or light pink, flesh-colored or brown. The skin may be just slightly raised or even flat. Close attention should be paid, if an area of skin bleeds easily, if there is a sore that does not heal, if there is oozing or crusting spots in a sore, if a lesion looks like a scar, if there are irregular blood vessels in the lesion or around it, if the area of a sore has a depressed (sunken) area in the middle

Squamous Cell Carcinoma More than 700,000 new cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are diagnosed every year. That makes it the second most common skin cancer (after basal cell carcinoma).This form of skin cancer arises in the squamous cells that make up most of the skins upper layers (epidermis). Squamous cell carcinomas may occur on all areas of the body including the mucous membranes and genitals, but are most common in areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as the rim of the ear, lower lip, face, bald scalp, neck, hands, arms and legs. Often the skin in these areas reveals telltale signs of sun damage, such as wrinkling, changes in pigmentation, and loss of elasticity. The majority of skin cancers in African-Americans are squamous cell carcinomas, usually arising on the sites of preexisting inflammatory skin conditions or burn injuries. Though naturally dark-skinned people are less likely than fair-skinned people to get skin cancer, it is still essential for them to practice sun protection. Chronic exposure to sunlight and frequent use of tanning beds causes most cases of squamous cell carcinoma.

Leukoderma Leukoderma is an acquired condition with localized loss of pigmentation of the skin. It may occur after any number of inflammatory skin conditions, burns, intralesional steroid injections, or postdermabrasion.

Vitiligo Vitiligo - develops on the skin in the form of white spots that vary in size and location. The spots occur when pigment cells, or melanocytes, are destroyed and the pigment melanin can no longer be produced. About half of those who develop this skin disorder experience some pigment loss before the age of 20, and about one third of all vitiligo patients report that other family members also have this condition.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis ALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITISThis is a skin reaction that takes place, when your skin comes into contact with substances that you are allergic to. The skin can become itchy, cracked, red, sore, or prone to bleeding. The substances that cause this reaction can be an ingredient in your makeup, aftershave, shampoo, jewelry, medication, and clothing. You may also find these substances at work in your cleaning supplies, paper and ink, medicines, disinfectants, construction materials and rubber products. WHAT IS T.R.U.E. TEST? T.R.U.E. TEST is a reliable, easy to use patch test. It is designed to help your doctor find out whether you are allergic to the substances included on the test panels. The test panels contain 28 different substances known to cause allergic contact dermatitis. T.R.U.E. TEST also includes a negative control that can help your doctor interpret your skin reactions.GET THE T.R.U.E. TEST IN OUR CENTER TODAY. CALL 718-615-4000 OR CLICK TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
