The term “rash” covers a wide range of skin conditions, usually referring to changes in the skin that manifest as bumps, blisters, or red patches. Most of these are harmless, but they can be indications of other skin problems or health issues. Common types of rashes include chronic skin problems, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, bacterial infections, fungal infections, and viral infections. Skin rash treatments vary widely depending on the type, causes, and symptoms. We have the experience needed to examine you visually and determine exactly the type of rash you have. We’ll then determine a proper treatment for your particular rash. Rash treatments offered at our center include moisturizing lotions and/or creams, topical anti-itch medications, oral antihistamines, topical anti-fungal medications, and light therapy. Skin rashes can be troublesome, as they not only itch but can also make you self-conscious about your appearance.   West Dermatology Redlands 1457 Ford St #105 Re...

Most nail disorders are characterized as fungal infections, also called onychomycosis or tinea unguium, and both toenails and fingernails are vulnerable. Symptoms can vary, but typically include nail pain or soreness, thickened nails, a distorted appearance, nail darkening, yellowish streaks, separation of nail from nail bed, brittleness, or even foul smells. There are multiple treatments for nail disorders, including oral anti-fungal medications and topical anti-fungal medications are also available. An effective solution offered by our dermatologists is laser nail treatment, which treats the infection or disorder completely and almost painlessly. In other, more extreme cases, complete removal of the nail may be necessary. We realize that nail disorders can be unpleasant and sometimes even painful.

Vitiligo is the patchy loss of your skin’s natural color, when melanin, the pigment that determines your skin’s color, is damaged or destroyed.

The most common type of cancer in the country is skin cancer, and melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. In general, melanoma arises from mutations of skin cell DNA in the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). The spread of these mutations to adjacent cells, particularly when uncontrolled and rapid, raises the risk of a malignancy. Melanoma develops when mutations occur in melanocytes, which are skin cells located in the bottom layer of the epidermis. Melanomas frequently form in areas that don’t get much sun exposure, and often start out as a mole, a large brown spot, or an irregular lesion. If you’ve been diagnosed with melanoma, the following treatment options are very effective: topical medications, Mohs micrographic surgery, and surgical excision procedure. We understand how a diagnosis of melanoma can impact your life.

Rosacea is characterized by persistent skin redness, the prominence of blood vessels, blotchiness, and reddish bumps or pimples on the face; it’s as if you have the inclination to blush or flush quickly and without reason. In particular, it commonly develops in the cheeks, chin, nose, forehead, ears, and neck. There is no outright “cure” for rosacea and it is often unpredictable; even if you avoid triggers and follow a treatment plan that eliminates the symptoms, it can return without warning. However, the skin experts at our dermatology practice can help you manage the condition by minimizing symptoms as much possible. For milder cases, topical medications can reduce redness while oral medications can shrink bumps and pimples. For more severe symptoms, laser or IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy is effective for improving blood vessels and/or reducing blushing and flushing.

Botox is an extremely popular wrinkle treatment that's ideal for dynamic wrinkles. Derived from botulinum toxin, Botox is injected through a very fine needle into a muscle underlying a bothersome wrinkle. This process blocks the nerve impulses that move the muscle, causing it to relax. The result is a smoother wrinkle and a softer-looking appearance. Since only the targeted muscle is affected, surrounding muscles continue to move freely, allowing your facial expressions to be easily shown and avoiding the dreaded "frozen face" look when performed by an experienced dermatologist. Botox is ideal for the upper half of the face, including the areas around the eyes, the upper nose, forehead, cheeks, and jaw. We recognize that facial creases, lines, and wrinkles can impact your appearance and self-esteem, which is why our experienced skin experts provide one of the safest, most popular wrinkle treatments in the world: Botox.

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease of the skin, characterized by fibrosis of the skin. The disease causes hardening, thickening, and scarring of the skin’s connective tissues. Although it's often localized to specific parts of the body, it can also be widespread, causing systemic issues that affect internal tissues and organs, including the esophagus, blood vessels, kidneys, lungs, heart, and GI tract. Due to the complicated nature of scleroderma as well as the uncertainty of what causes it, treatment is customized on a case-by-case basis and may involve various options, as a single medication or treatment may not be completely effective. For example, you may have a mild, localized case that does not require treatment. On the other hand, someone else may have a severe, relentless case that involves multiple options, each addressing a single of the various symptoms that manifest. For the experts at our dermatology center, the ultimate goal is management of the conditions. West De...
