SKIN CONDITIONS + PROCEDURES

Skin Cancer

Melanoma

Melanoma is the most serious and potentially deadly form of skin cancer. It results from the uncontrolled growth of the pigment cells of the skin (melanocytes).

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common skin cancer. It results from the uncontrolled growth of the superficial skin cells.

Types of Skin Cancer

Skin cancers are malignant growths (tumors) that can occur on any part of the skin. They are most often caused by sun exposure. There are many forms of skin cancer, but there are three most common types.

Basal Cell Skin Cancer

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of cancer in humans. It results from the uncontrolled growth of the cells that line the base of the outer layer of the skin.

Actinic Keratoses

Actinic Keratoses are scaly spots that usually appear on sun-exposed skin. They are considered “pre-cancers” and can eventually develop into squamous cell carcinomas.

Skin Health

Acne

Acne is a very common disease of the oil glands of the skin on the face and upper body. It typically occurs around the time of puberty due to hormone surges. It can also occur later in life.

Moles

Moles or nevi are very common non-cancerous growths that can occur on any part of the skin. Moles can develop for many reasons and most are not a health risk.

Warts

Warts are bumpy skin growths that are the result of a viral infection of the skin. There are many types of warts, but there are three most common kinds of warts.

Dermatitis

Dermatitis literally means “any inflammation of the skin” and is a very general term that can describe many different skin diseases.

Eczema

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic, itchy skin condition that is very common in children but may occur at any age.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes red and scaly plaques (thickened skin) that affects a significant number of people.

Molluscum

Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin infection that usually affects young children and young adults. It causes bumps of the skin that can become very irritated.

Rashes

To the untrained eye, all rashes may look alike and seem easily treatable with over-the-counter oral antihistamines or hydrocortisone cream. However, it is not always so simple.

Fungus

Fungus infections of the skin are extremely common, especially in the hot sweaty climate of the desert. Fungus is present everywhere in our environment.

Seborrheic keratoses

Seborrheic keratoses (sometimes referred to as “barnacles”) are extremely common, harmless warty spots that appear during adult life as a common sign of skin damage.

Shingles

Shingles, also called “herpes zoster,” is commonly a localized, blistering and painful rash caused by reactivation of the chicken pox or varicella zoster virus (VZV).

Sun Protection

Living in “The Valley of the Sun,” we can enjoy sunny days year-round. Protection from the effects of ultraviolet radiation is important to maintaining healthy skin.

Sweating

For some people, excessive sweating is a problem. Fortunately, effective treatment is available.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic rash involving the central face that occurs most often in those between the ages of 30 to 60.

Mohs surgery

(ALSO CALLED MOHS MICROGRAPHIC SURGERY) IS USED TO TREAT SKIN CANCER.

This surgery is performed by a specially trained Mohs surgeon and has a unique benefit beyond traditional surgery or excisions. During surgery, the surgeon can see where the cancer stops. This isn’t possible with other types of treatment for skin cancer.

The ability to see where the cancer stops gives Mohs surgery two important advantages:

a high cure rate and
allowing you to keep as much healthy skin as possible because the surgeon only removes the skin with cancer cells.

This is especially important when skin cancer develops in an area with little tissue beneath it, like an eyelid, ear, or nose.
