Lets dive a little deeper into what some of these are! 

As your Dermatologist in Hammond Louisiana and Dermatologist in Madisonville Louisiana, Slidell, Louisiana, and Picayune, Mississippi, we know the importance of consistent dermatologic exams. Yearly full-body exams are crucial for a multitude of reasons: early detection of skin cancer which is highly treatable; base line monitoring for future skin conditions; allows for a personalized skin care routine; and it allows for screenings for other conditions. 

Yearly full-body exams help bring attention to moles, also known as nevi, that can appear anywhere on the body. While most moles are harmless, some can be cancerous and lead to melanoma (the most serious type of skin cancer). 

Acne is a skin condition that happens when a follicle or pore becomes clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Here at Northshore Dermatology, we understand this affects all ages, not just those going through puberty! The dermatologist in Hammond Louisiana and dermatologist in Madisonville Louisiana, Slidell, Louisiana, and Picayune, Mississippi, have learned a plethora of ways to treat acne in all ages and tailor it to suit each patient’s individual needs. 

There are other conditions that fall under a term you hear often within dermatology, dermatitis. There are different types of dermatitis that are seen regularly, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. 

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, presents with dry patches, rashes, and itchiness, often accompanied by inflammation. It is also grouped with atopic dermatitis, which affects 16.5 million adults and 9.6 million children in the U.S. alone. This can be triggered from your immune system, genes, environmental or even emotional responses. At Northshore Dermatology, our providers have helped many patients understand what triggers their flare-ups and effectively manage their symptoms.

The second type of dermatitis is contact dermatitis which is defined as an inflammatory skin condition caused by direct contact with allergens or irritants like alkaline materials, metals, fragrances, or even plants. Typically, contact dermatitis’ symptoms include a red, itchy rash, blisters, scaly dry skin, or swelling. At Northshore Dermatology, our team understands the challenges of contact dermatitis and helps patients find practical ways to manage triggers and irritation.

Let’s now talk about seborrheic dermatitis! Dandruff is considered the mild, less severe form of seborrheic dermatitis. Some symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis include scaly patches, stubborn dandruff, and red skin affecting oily areas on your body, like your face and scalp. This condition affects approximately 4.38% of the world population! There are many treatments for this condition, and we are very familiar with them here at Northshore Dermatology. 

Did you know psoriasis is considered an autoimmune condition that affects 2 to 3 percent of individuals globally? It is a chronic skin disease that is due to an accelerated life cycle of skin cells. This leads to a buildup of dead cells that results in scaly, itchy patches commonly on the scalp, elbows, trunk and knees.

Surgical Dermatology 

Surgical dermatology is considered a crucial component to enhancing skin health and appearance. It includes procedures to diagnose and treat skin issues such as skin cancer, moles, cysts and other growths that you may be experiencing. 

Excision of a lesion is considered a minor surgical procedure that removes skin abnormalities. The goal of this procedure is to diagnose abnormalities and treat them by removing them entirely. This is generally a safe procedure with a potential risk of minor bleeding, infection, and scarring.
