The skin is an incredible organ. A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails. Whether it's rashes, wrinkles, psoriasis, acne or worse, no one understands your skin conditions and treatment better than a board certified dermatologist. A dermatology appointment is your first step towards improved skin health and appearance.

Acne is a common skin condition comprised of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, lumps, bumps, and/or any plugged pores that occurs mostly on the face, chest, and/or back. While teens most are most commonly affected, acne can affect anyone. Acne may cause mental health problems by distorting one’s facial features. Severe acne can lead to permanent scars. Treatment can involve different modalities, including; topical and/or oral medications, peels, and light or laser therapy.

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition of the central face and sometimes the eye. Rosacea can lead to flushing, blushing, burning, as well as pimples. In severe cases, rosacea can cause thickened skin and sometimes an enlarged nose. There is evidence that heat exposure, intense exercise, stress, alcohol, and spicy foods can worsen symptoms of rosacea. While rosacea has no cure, a variety of treatment options are available that may control outbreaks and improve physical appearance.

Repeated overexposure to the sun and its ultraviolet radiation without proper protection such as sunscreen, large brimmed hats and long-sleeved clothing, can lead to a wide variety of serious conditions such as solar keratoses and skin cancer. A comprehensive screening will include an exam of my scalp, face, mouth, hands, feet, trunk and extremities, eyes and eyelids, ears, fingers, toes and even toenails.

Allergic contact dermatitis is an itchy rash caused by an allergic reaction to a substance (the allergen) that comes in contact with the skin. Successful treatment requires identification and removal of the allergen. When identifying the responsible allergen is not clear, Derm Texas can perform a patch test to find out whether and which allergen may be causing or exacerbating the rash.

Skin tags (also called skin tabs) are common and unsightly. They are soft harmless lesions that grow all over our bodies. Most people try to hide these irritating tiny tumors because they feel embarrassed. You’re more likely than not, to end up with one of these repulsive protuberances somewhere on your body. Skin tags do not affect your health and removals are a simple and almost pain free procedure.

Participants in a research trial may receive access to the latest in medical innovations, drugs, and therapies. Under close monitoring of highly-trained physicians, nurses and professionals, contributions to advancements of science and medicine are pursued and often acheived. Participants receive a comprehensive medical exam and diagnostic tests (at no cost) with priority, from highly trained and knowledgeable dermatologists.

Clinical trials don't require participants to haveinsurance, and many trials will compensate (i.e. pay money) to volunteers.
