What is dermatology?

Dermatology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to the skin, hair, and nails. At Lost Creek Medical, dermatologists are specialized medical professionals trained to address a wide range of conditions that affect these areas, helping you maintain healthy and vibrant skin.

What issues does dermatology address?

Dermatology deals with numerous skin conditions, ranging from common to complex. These include:

• Acne
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Rosacea
• Dermatitis

Your Lost Creek Medical practitioner can also treat issues like fungal, viral, or bacterial skin infections, as well as more severe conditions like skin cancer, including melanoma and basal cell carcinoma. 

In addition, dermatology covers hair and scalp issues such as hair loss (alopecia) and dandruff, as well as nail disorders like fungal infections and ingrown nails.

What treatments does dermatology offer? 

Your Lost Creek Medical professional tailors dermatology treatments to your specific skin, hair, or nail concerns that can be medical, surgical, or cosmetic. They can perform minor procedures such as biopsies to diagnose conditions like suspicious moles or lesions. They can also perform cryotherapy, which uses liquid nitrogen to freeze off warts, skin tags, or precancerous lesions.

For acne, treatments range from topical or oral medications to procedures like chemical peels and laser therapy to reduce scarring. They also offer laser treatments for hair removal, anti-aging therapies like Botox® injections, and dermal fillers to address wrinkles and volume loss. 

Furthermore, for skin cancer, surgical interventions like Mohs surgery ensure precise removal of cancerous tissue while minimizing harm to surrounding skin.

What are the benefits of dermatology?

The advantages of dermatology are extensive, as it helps you maintain your skin's health and appearance while addressing underlying issues. One of the major advantages of dermatology is the ability to catch skin conditions early, especially skin cancer, which significantly improves outcomes. 

The Lost Creek Medical team also offers tailored skin care advice to help you manage chronic conditions or maintain a youthful, healthy appearance.
