PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is a common, chronic skin condition that involves a rapid product of skin cells that build up on the surface of the skin from scales, patches and other unwanted symptoms. There are over seven million people in the US who are affected by this skin disease, including men, woman, and children of all ages.
Treatment for psoriasis aims to help clear the skin of current symptoms and to interrupt the abnormal cycle that has caused an increased production of skin cells. Treatments can be done through topical, oral medication, light therapies or a combination of the three.
ROSACEA
Rosacea is a chronic skin disease that affects about 14 million Americans. It causes redness and swelling on the face and may also affect the scalp, neck, ears, check, back, and even the eyes. Symptoms range from red pimples, lines, to visible blodd vessels.
Treatments may include topical or oral medications. Several types of lasers can rduce the redness and broken blood vessels associated with rosacea.
WART
Warts are normally non-contagious skin growths caused by viruses. Different warts respond to different types of treatments. Some warts may go away on their own. Salicylic acid products which are in the forms of drops, gels, pads, and bandages may effectively treat many warts by dissolving the cells harboring the virus. Other warts may need to be treated via cryosurgery (liquid nitrogen), electrodesication or laser surgery.
SCAR TREATMENT

SKIN CANCER
There are nearly one million Americans who are diagnosed with skin cancer each year making it the most common type of cancer in the country. Although anyone can get skin cancer, the risk is higher if you have fair skin that burns easily and have significant sun exposure.
