Age Spots:

Also known as sun spots, liver spots, or solar lentigines. They are small, flat, round spots on the skin that begin to appear later in life on sun-exposed areas. Read more about age spots here.

Aging Skin:

Collagen and elastin production decreases as you age, which leads to aging skin. This means the skin loses its shape and starts to sag. Dermatology Associates of Northeast Georgia can help you treat aging skin. Read more about aging skin and what you can do for it here.

Hyperhidrosis:

Hyperhidrosis is the scientific term for abnormally excessive sweating that’s not necessarily related to being overheated or exercising. The sweat typically originates from the armpits or palms, and it may cause sufferers to sweat so much that it soaks through clothes or drips off their hands or arms. Learn more about hyperhidrosis, and how to treat it, here.

Keratosis Pilaris:

Keratosis pilaris (KP) is when you have bumpy, dry skin caused by hair follicles becoming plugged by dry skin cells. It occurs in people of all ages and in various places on the body. It is particularly common on the upper arms of teenagers and adults and on the cheeks of infants. Learn more about KP and KP treatments here.

Melanoma:

Melanoma is known as the most dangerous form of skin cancer, so Dermatology Associates of Northeast Georgia knows there are many questions throughout the various stages of dealing with it. Learn more about melanoma and melanoma treatment options here.

Moles:

Moles are very common, with most people having between 10 and 40 on their bodies. Moles can be different colors, such as pink, tan, brown, or a color very close to the person’s normal skin tone. Read more about moles and mole removal here.

Pigmentation Disorders:

Vitiligo, melasma, and other conditions that cause skin discolorations result from the overproduction or underproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its natural color. Learn more about why and how your skin can become discolored and how to treat it here.

Psoriasis:

A skin disorder in which skin cells reproduce much faster than normal. It is often long-lasting and causes red, scaly patches on the limbs, scalp, and other parts of the body. Learn more about psoriasis and ways to treat it here.

Rosacea:

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes facial redness and swelling. It can also affect the scalp, neck, and ears. One of the first symptoms you may notice from rosacea is a tendency to flush or blush easily. Learn more about it and how to treat or reduce the appearance of it here.

Seborrheic Dermatitis:

A very common scaling rash that tends to occur in oily areas. It impacts areas including the scalp (dandruff), eyebrows, eyelids (blepharitis), ears, nasal folds, armpits, and groin. Read more about Seborrheic Dermatitis here.

Seborrheic Keratosis:

SK is a dark skin growth that appears in adulthood. It may be large and grow quickly, but it is benign. SKs are not caused by sun damage and can be found in areas that are usually covered by clothing. Learn more about Seborrheic Keratosis here.

Shingles:

Herpes zoster, more commonly known as shingles, develops when the virus that causes chickenpox (varicella-zoster) reactivates after lying dormant within the nerve cells. Learn more about Shingles here.

Skin Cancer:

Skin cancer occurs when skin cells start growing abnormally and cause cancerous growths. Most skin cancers develop on the visible outer layer of the skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas such as the face, head, hands, arms, and legs. Read more about skin cancer, detection, and treatment here.

Warts:

Warts are skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are very common, particularly in children. Warts can spread by direct contact to other parts of the body or to other people. Learn more about warts and treating them here.
