What Can a Skin Doctor Do for Me?

Skin Doctor

Believe it or not, the skin is our body’s largest organ: complete with seven layers. And sometimes, though we try our best to take care of our skin, it acts up in different ways due to underlying reasons that can be difficult to pinpoint. Rashes, acne, and other skin conditions are all a part of life, and the best way to take care of them is to see a skin doctor. The experts at Coastal Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Long Beach, California can assist you with all of your skin needs.

What Does a Skin Doctor Do?

Also known as a dermatologist, this doctor specializes in skin, nails, and mucous membranes. Dermatologists are life savers for all your skin needs: they treat acne, skin diseases, and nearly 3,000 types of conditions in between. These include severe forms of acne, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea. Here are a few reasons that you will want to schedule a visit with your skin doctor:

Acne

When you were a teenager, you might have dreamed about having clear skin as an adult. As most of us know, those acne days aren’t always behind us. Acne is normal amongst teens and even into young adulthood, but if your acne is not responding to over-the-counter cleansers and medications, then it may be time to visit your skin doctor so he can help you find a solution customized to you and your skin condition.

Eczema and Other Conditions 

Eczema is a chronic skin condition that causes random flare-ups of itchiness, flaking, and rashes. Your skin doctor can treat other skin conditions, such as psoriasis and rosacea with medications to help control flare-ups, itchiness, and discomfort.

Skin Damage and Treatment 

Sun damage is a leading cause in sun spots and other forms of premature aging, like wrinkles. If you are looking to tighten your skin, help diminish crow’s feet, or fix any other imperfections like sun spots, then your skin doctor can help with medications, products, or suggest lifestyle changes on how to avoid any further damage.

Scar Treatment

Your skin doctor can help improve the look of scars from acne, raised keloids, or even stretch marks by prescribing medications or performing treatments.

When Should I See a Skin Doctor? 

If a small rash has popped up, it may be time to see a doctor. Your skin is the first thing to encounter nearly everything you experience and everything you touch. It is the first thing bacteria touches and the first thing that injuries impact. The health of your skin impacts your overall health. Even if your skin is clear and healthy-looking, it’s still important to get regular check-ups–just like you do every year for your physical at your primary physician’s office! Schedule your initial consultation with the skin professionals at Coastal Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Long Beach, California today. We proudly serve the Long Beach area with locations in Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos, Mission Viejo, and Tustin.
