Acne
Acne is the most common condition in the U.S., impacting about 80% of people. It’s caused by inflammation and infection in clogged pores. Acne can affect people of all ages but is especially common in teenagers. There are several options for treating acne symptoms. Finding the right one depends on the severity of the condition. Mild acne may be treatable with over-the-counter medication and products. But for more severe cases, there are medical options available that can help.
Wart Treatment
Warts are benign growths that can be spread by contact. Anyone can get warts and they commonly show up on the fingers, hands, or feet. Warts will sometimes resolve on their own, but if they require treatment, options can be considered such as cryotherapy, excision, or chemicals.
Sunspots
The sun’s rays can damage your skin on a cellular level and may result in sunspots. Ideally, daily sunscreen application would prevent these issues, but if it’s too late there are treatment options. While lighter skin tones are at highest risk for sun damage, people of any skin tone can be affected so everyone needs protection. There are several treatment options for sunspots including cryotherapy, micro needling, Blu-U light therapy, etc.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that results in red, inflamed patches of skin. Psoriasis is usually genetic and can be triggered by stress, anxiety, injury, infections, cold weather, and hormonal changes. Psoriasis treatments include medication, topical treatments, or photodynamic therapy.
