What is dermatology?

Dermatology is a field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing acute and chronic conditions that affect the skin, nails, and hair.

Boca General & Family Medicine offers in-office dermatology services for adults and teens aged 16 and older.

The skilled physicians use the latest technologies to screen for chronic conditions like skin cancer. They also offer customized, evidence-based treatment plans for a range of dermatologic conditions, including acne and eczema.

When should I schedule a dermatology consultation?

You can meet with the Boca General & Family Medicine dermatology specialists if you have sudden changes in the appearance of your skin, hair, or nails.

You should also schedule a diagnostic evaluation if you have:

• Warts
• Hair loss
• Itchy skin rash
• Slow-healing sores
• Persistent skin irritation
• Brittle, crumbly nails
• Recurrent or severe acne breakouts
• Skin discoloration or hyperpigmentation
• Changes in the size, shape, or color of moles

The providers offer comprehensive skin evaluations to assess the health of your skin. They use in-office labs to diagnose infections, confirm chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema, and screen for skin cancer.

Which dermatology treatments are available?

Boca General & Primary Care offers personalized care plans to address acute and chronic dermatologic conditions. The physicians prioritize holistic wellness and may initially recommend diet and lifestyle changes to improve skin health.

If you need additional treatment for skin, hair, or nail issues, your care plan may include:

• Topical medicines
• Oral medications
• Light therapy (phototherapy)
• Laser treatments

The physicians perform minor surgical procedures in the office to remove superficial skin cancers, skin tags, and moles. They also offer cryotherapy to freeze and destroy warts and other abnormal tissue.

If you have acne, hair loss, or other conditions that result from a hormone imbalance, your provider might recommend bioidentical hormone therapy to supplement your natural hormone levels. 

Your provider can recommend high-quality cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreens, and other products to care for and protect your skin. Nutritional counseling and peptide therapy are also available to nourish your skin, hair, and nails from the inside out.
