Warts often disappear without any treatment, especially in children get warts. Although warts are mostly harmless, dermatologists do remove them. Dermatologists may use multiple methods for removal of wartsdepending on patient’s age, site of wartand the wart type. 80-90% TCA Application: TCA (trichloro-acetic acid) chemically cauterizes the wart Cryotherapy: cryotherapy (freezing) is not too painful but sometimes can cause pigmentation in people with dark skin. It may require repeated treatments. Electrosurgery and curettage: Electrosurgery (cautery) for common wartsand foot warts. Curettage involves scraping off the wart with a sharp blade or a spoon-shaped instrument. Excision: The dermatologist may cut the wart (excision).

Vitiligo is a condition where individuals develop patches of white or lighter-colored skin. Vitiligo is common, affecting up to 2% of the population worldwide. It is partially genetic and may run in families. It can affect all areas of the body, especially areas that are “bumped” or rubbed frequently (i.e., areas of friction like the elbows, hands, waist, knees and top of the feet). Vitiligo results from destruction or reduction of melanocytes, the cells that produce pigment in our skin, so that they cannot properly function. The cause of vitiligo is not clearly understood, but it appears in most cases to be an autoimmune condition where the body’s own immune system attacks the normal pigment-making cells in the skin. For most people with vitiligo, white patches develop and expand slowly over time; however, every person is different. Some patients will never progress, rarely patients will worsen rapidly, and 10-20% will develop spontaneous repigmentation (return of normal color). A variant called segmental vitiligo is localized to a single strip of skin, and it is not usually associated with widespread loss of color.

Warts are common viral infections caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Warts can go away without treatment as our own immune system learns how to fight them. About 60% of warts will disappear within about 2 years. There are many possible ways to treat warts and, sometimes, several different treatments are combined to get the warts to go away completely. There is no single perfect treatment for warts, and successful treatment can require multiple sessions.

Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast (fungal organism) on the skin. Heat and humidity are predisposing factors leading to overgrowth of yeast. Tinea versicolor appears as small, light-colored dry, scaly spots on the skin. Spots may be tan to pink or very faint and can combine to from patches of lighter (or darker) skin.

Tinea (Dermatophytosis) Tinea faciei (face) Tinea is a fungal infection of the skin, hair or nails. These fungal infections are named for where they occur on the body. Some examples are: Tinea capitis (scalp) Tinea corporis (body) Tinea cruris (groin) – “jock itch” Tinea faciei (face) Tinea pedis (feet) – “athlete’s foot” Tinea unguium or onychomycosis (nail) Tinea capitis (scalp): The scalp may show flakes of skin resembling dandruff or patches of hair loss or broken hairs. Tinea corporis, faciei, and cruris (body, face and groin): The fungal infection in these areas looks like a red, scaly ring with clearing in the center, hence the name ’ringworm’. Tinea pedis (“athlete’s foot”): The skin is usually moist and flaky between the toes. sometimes there are red, scaly rings on dorsum of the toes and feet, as well as flaky skin on the bottom or side of the feet. Onychomycosis (nail fungus): The nails get thick and discolored, and there is a buildup of loose skin and scales under the affected nails, especially at the outer edge of the nails.

Acrochordons are harmless and are removed only for comfort or cosmesis either by excision, electrocautery (burning), and cryosurgery (freezing). Skin tags can be surgically removed with a CO2 laser using local or topicalanaesthetic.Burning skin tags can cause temporary discoloration of skin. Never attempt to remove skin tags on your own because they can bleed heavily.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin disease that causes a red, scaly, itchy rash. Most often it occurs on the scalp, sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids, and middle of the chest. This skin problem is easily treated, but chronic and recurring. Sometimes people use the terms dandruff, seborrhea, and seborrheic dermatitis to mean the same thing. However, these 3 terms differ. Dandruff causes scaling on the scalp but not redness. With seborrhea, the skin oily, mainly on the scalp and face, but has no redness or scaling. People with seborrhea may later get seborrheic dermatitis, which causes both redness and scaling. Seborrheic dermatitis affects people of all ages most often, though, in infant and older adults. In infants, the condition appears on the scalp (“cradle cap”). This mostly clears without treatment between 8 and 12 months of age. It is not contagious. In teens and adults, it tends to come and go and can be life-long. Elderly adults are prone to getting seborrheic dermatitis because of the effects of aging on the skin. The presence of a yeast(fungal)-like organism, excessive release of oil from the skin and immune system, all play a part in causing seborrheic dermatitis. Excess oil from the skin acts as food source for the yeast, which in turn causes inflammation (redness and swelling), irritation, scaling, and flaking.

Rosacea is a common skin disease that causes persistent redness and swelling on the face. Fair-skinned women between the ages of 30 and 50 most likely to develop rosacea. Often referred to as “adult acne,” rosacea may begin as a tendency to flush or blush easily, and progresses to persistent redness in central face that may gradually involve the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. As the disease progresses, small blood vessels and tiny pimples begin to appear on and around the reddened area; however, unlike acne, there are no comedones. The condition rarely reverses itself, may last for years and can become worse without treatment.

Psoriasis is a common chronic skin condition in which red plaques with thick scales form on the skin. It affects 1-2% of all people and can develop at any age from infancy to adulthood. Psoriasis usually appears as dry, red, scaly patches on the skin which can itch and sometimes burn. Immune system and genetics play major roles in the development of psoriasis. Psoriasis tends to run in families. Injury to the skin and infections are common triggers that bring out psoriasis or make it worse. Psoriasis is not contagious. Plaque psoriasis commonly affect the elbows, knees and scalp. Psoriasis can also develop in the nails (usually in the form of small depressions or pits in the nail), and in the joints (called psoriatic arthritis). The severity of psoriasis can range from mild to severe and varies from person to person and may change over time.

The area’s involved are within the borders of the lines from the nose, to the sides of the lips, and the chin. frequent sparing of a small band of skin that borders the lips may be seen. Perioral dermatitis mostly affects young women. If left untreated, perioral dermatitis may last for months to year. Strong corticosteroid creams applied to the face are the most common cause of perioral dermatitis.

Nail diseases and warning signs of other internal health problems appear on the nails. Nail Diseases Psoriatic nails: pits, ridges, and nail discoloration are the common signs of psoriatic nail involvement. The nails can separate from the nail bed, crumble, and split and the skin beneath the nail can turn reddish brown Fungal nail infection: When a nail thickens, splits, discolors, and lifts from the nail bed, fungal nail infection could be the cause. Bacterial nail infection: Ingrown nail: when the corner of a nail curves downward into the skin causing pain, swelling and discharge, most common on the big toe. Injured nail: small white spots often mean a nail injury

Virtually our entire body is covered with hair. Because most of this hair is fine and pale, it usually isn’t visible to the naked eye. But, when darker, coarser hairs appear in places which may make you uncomfortable – like on the face, neck, abdomen, breasts, legs or underarms in women or on the shoulders, chest and back in men, it may be time to consider laser hair removal. Electrolysis is a time-consuming procedure, which can be painful and is useful for removing hair in small areas. During electrolysis, electric current is passed through a needle to destroy each individual hair root. It takes months and numerous regular visits to clear even small areas, like the upper lip. About Laser Treatment The concentrated light beam emitted by the laser is well absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. During the procedure, the laser pulses (produces energy) for a fraction of a second, long enough to heat up the hair bulge and significantly impair the follicle’s ability to re-grow. This process treats numerous hair follicles simultaneously and is therefore, appropriate for treating even the largest areas of the body both quickly and effectively. What Can You Expect? The duration of a laser treatment may vary from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. The hairs in an active growth phase (anagen) are targeted by the laser. As all hairs are not in this phase at the same time, more than one treatment is necessary. The laser treatment may cause some discomfort but most patients tolerate the procedure well. Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others where topical anesthesia can be used.

Hives (Urticaria) are erythematous itchy raised areas in the skin caused by a substance called histamine. They typically appear as pink or red swollen itchy spots of varying sizes on the skin. When hives occur after scratching or rubbing the skin, it is called dermatographism, which means “skin writing.”. 15-20% of people will get hives at some point in their lives. Infections are the most common cause of hives in young children. Other common causes of hives include medicines and foods. Less common causes include additives to foods such as preservatives and color dyes, stress, exercise, sunlight, and contact with cold substances like ice. In most cases, hives occur in perfectly healthy people.

Herpes Zoster (shingles) Herpes zoster, also known as shingles or zoster, is a viral infection caused by the same virus that cause chicken pox. Anyone who has had chicken pox can develop herpes zoster. The virus remains dormant (inactive), in certain nerve cells of the body, and when it reactivates it causes zoster. Illness, trauma, and stress or a temporary decrease in immunity (the body’s ability to fight infection) may trigger the virus to multiply and move along nerve fibers toward the skin. It is more common in people over the age 50. Initially there may be burning, itching, tingling, or extreme sensitivity in an area limited to one side of the body before a rash appears at that site. The rash soon turns into groups of blisters which generally last for two to three weeks. Post-herpetic neuralgia is pain, numbness, itching, and tingling which may last long after the rash is clear.

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes blisters and sores around the mouth, nose, genitals, and buttocks, and almost anywhere on the skin. HSV sores are very annoying as they may reappear periodically, are painful and unsightly. There are two types of HSV – Type 1 and Type 2. Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 HSV Type 1 infections are tiny, clear, fluid-filled blisters that most often occur on the face, often referred to as cold sores or fever blisters. Type 1 may also develop in wounds on the skin. Recurrent episodes can be triggered by a variety of factors including sun exposure, fever, menstruation, trauma (including surgery), or sometimes nothing at all. Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 HSV Type 2 results in sores on the penis, buttocks, vagina, or cervix.
