General Dermatology
The skin is a large organ on which there are different types of pathologies. We are dedicated to the care of these pathologies in both adults and children, providing the appropriate treatment and necessary studies to give an accurate diagnosis to our patients.
Skin cancer
The frequency of skin cancer has increased significantly in recent years and its cause is clearly related to exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. It is more common in adults and although numerous types of tumors are recognized, the most frequently occurring are: Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Melanoma. Their diagnosis is sometimes late since they are initially confused with "moles" or with other conditions considered unimportant by the patient since they are asymptomatic or small in size. That is why we focus on providing treatment and follow-up to our patients who have had or may have Skin Cancer. We take a sample of the skin lesion that deserves to be studied by a Pathologist to give them the most appropriate treatment for their skin pathology. It is important to check every 6 months or every year according to the particular conditions of our patients in order to evaluate their shape, edges, color, diameter and evolution of their lesions, since if their diagnosis is early and timely the prognosis improves considerably.
Pediatric Dermatology
A variety of pediatric skin lesions are treated with innovative treatment methods. Diagnosing and treating various conditions such as atopic dermatitis, warts, molluscum contagiosum, vitiligo, hemangiomas, birthmarks, evaluation and follow-up of nevi (moles), contact dermatitis, pyogenic granuloma, urticaria, psoriasis.
Acne
It is a disease that affects 85% of the adolescent population, however, it can appear at any time in life depending on genetic, hormonal, work or psychological factors, both in men and women. It begins to manifest between the ages of 10 and 14 and always deserves attention since at this stage self-esteem is very important and is mistakenly considered something "of age" and the disease progresses even producing permanent scars. In adults, meanwhile, acne can be related to hormonal disorders in women, stress, use of makeup or medications. All cases, regardless of age and cause, can be treated appropriately by the dermatologist who indicates the corresponding treatment for each patient.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a common condition that affects the blood vessels of the skin of the face, causing redness and inflammation. Its cause is unknown, but it has factors such as the sun, heat, sudden changes in temperature, stress, very hot or very spicy foods, alcohol, coffee and facial cosmetics, since these patients have very sensitive skin. 40% have a family history of rosacea. It is characterized by a tendency to redness, telangiectasias (spider veins) and lesions that look like "pimples." Rosacea treatment requires avoiding the factors using permanent sunscreen in addition to the very careful use of cosmetics. Antibiotic gels or creams are also used, as well as various treatments to help improve the condition, such as the Palomar Max G Laser, which helps to reduce and control redness and facial spider veins.
Warts
It is a viral infection that is transmitted by direct contact and depends directly on the immune status of each person. They must always be treated to prevent their spread; they can affect children and adults, anywhere on the body, including the genitals. Among the treatments used to eliminate them are cold therapy (liquid nitrogen) or electrosurgery, among others, depending on each case. If they are not treated, they can continue to increase in number and size over the years.
Moles
Moles and freckles are caused by a genetically determined alteration that leads to an increase in the number of melanocytes or cells responsible for giving color to the skin. The shape, size and number of moles and freckles are variable and can be present from birth, called congenital, or appear at any time in life, both on the skin and on the mucous membranes, genitals, mouth or lips. The appearance of moles and freckles can change throughout life, but today it is known that sun exposure can not only be responsible for such changes but also for the increase in the total number of lesions. Other factors that can modify the appearance of moles and freckles are hormonal changes in certain periods of our life (anovulatory, puberty, pregnancy). Moles should be evaluated periodically to rule out that they are malignant. Those cases that are not candidates for surgical removal should follow periodic checks of their ABCDE
Cysts
An epidermal cyst is a benign lesion, relatively common in the skin of adults, usually located on the face, chest or back. It appears as a nodule of variable size that corresponds to a kind of sac filled with a white material that accumulates inside, and which communicates with the outside with a small opening through which part of the material can be seen coming out when the cyst is compressed, which is not advisable as it promotes inflammation and infection. Its treatment consists of the complete removal of the lesion under local anesthesia.
Alopecia
Alopecia is the loss of hair in people, either due to a temporary or permanent disorder. Hair growth is cyclical. This cycle is altered by Alopecia. This disease affects people of both sexes, being more common in men from 25 years of age onwards. On the other hand, there are two types of alopecia: irreversible and potentially reversible.
Scalp conditions
In addition to the seborrheic dermatitis, which is already well known to all those who suffer from any type of hair condition, there are other pathologies related to the health of the scalp that it would be important to know in greater depth, not only because of the links that may exist in particular with the hair and its care but also with the general state of health. For this reason, it is important to be able to make a diagnosis as precise as possible thanks to which the correct therapy can be quickly applied according to the disease in question. Regardless of the condition, we remember that under no circumstances should we self-medicate. It is always a bad decision to begin a treatment without first consulting a competent professional.
Skin and Nail Fungi
Fungi are microorganisms that cause disease when they overcome the skin's natural defensive barriers.
They can affect children and adults and are located on the skin, hair or nails. It is a contagious disease so hygiene of personal hygiene items, clothing, bathrooms, etc. must be taken care of. Different treatments can be given to prevent complications and this can be with oral or topical antifungals or laser treatment, depending on the type of infection, depending on the intensity and the affected site.
Excessive sweating
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are resting.
Botulinum toxin type A is FDA-approved for the treatment of severe underarm sweating. Small doses of injected botulinum toxin temporarily block the nerves that stimulate sweating.
It is a well-tolerated, safe and highly effective treatment that improves the patient's quality of life.
