ECZEMA OR ATOPIC DERMATITIS?

Does your skin itch and turn red from time to time? If so, you might have eczema. People of all ages can get eczema. Atopic dermatitis, the most common form, typically begins in childhood. However, eczema comes in other forms, as well. The common symptoms for all types of eczema include dry, scaly skin, redness, and itching, all of which can be intense at times. The rash often develops in the creases of the elbows and knees, and babies often get eczema on their scalp and cheeks. Eczema occurs when the skin’s natural barrier is weakened or compromised. It is essential to see a dermatologist if the redness and itching do not subside on their own.

When you see a new rash you’ve never noticed before and are concerned it might be eczema, it is important to visit your dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis, the first step to a successful treatment plan. At CHEYENNE SKIN CLINIC, we provide a wide range of dermatological services for people of all ages and skin types. All diseases of the skin, hair, and nails are addressed at our clinic at 123 Western Hills Blvd. We will carefully examine you and recommend a protocol tailored to your individual needs. Please call 635-0226, for an appointment. Learn more about our skin care services at our website at www.cheyenneskinclinic.com.

P.S. Antihistamines can help to control the itching associated with eczema.

ALOPECIA AREATA

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair to fall out, often in clumps the size and shape of a quarter. The amount of hair loss varies among individuals, and there are different types of the condition. Usually, the only symptom is hair loss. Doctors do not know why people have alopecia areata, but it is thought to have something to do with their genes making them more likely to suffer from the condition. If you are suffering from hair loss, lose a lot of hair over a short period, or have small bald patches that get larger, seek the help of a dermatologist. Many other conditions can cause hair loss, so it’s crucial to get the proper diagnosis.

MOHS SURGERY

Mohs surgery is a precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. Thin layers of cancer-containing skin are removed in stages and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. Mohs surgery is considered the gold standard and the most effective technique for treating many basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, the most common skin cancer types, especially those on the nose and ears. The advantage of Mohs surgery is that a dermatologist can do it in a single visit in an outpatient setting, performed under local anesthesia, and all the lab work is done on-site while the patient is waiting. The procedure can take several hours, depending on the severity and size of the cancer. The cure rate ranges from 94-99.8 percent.

Our doctors at CHEYENNE SKIN CLINIC are trained to diagnose and treat skin cancers using leading edge technologies right here at 123 Western Hills Blvd. Our Center for Dermatologic Surgery is a state-of-the-art surgical facility in which our board-certified dermatologists can provide you with the highest quality surgical expertise for treatment of any dermatological condition requiring surgery.

P.S. Mohs surgery was developed in 1938 by a general surgeon, Frederic E. Mohs.
