Do you suffer from a skin problem such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea? Or a more debilitating issue, like skin cancer? Perhaps you don’t have a problem at all, but would like to have your skin checked to ensure the moles and spots that have appeared over time are healthy and benign? Of course, you could just be curious about your skin care regimen – are you using the right products to keep your largest organ healthy and protected from Austin’s blistering sun?
Then, you need a dermatologist. A dermatologist is a doctor who has been trained to identify, diagnose, and treat more than 3,000 different conditions that may affect the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes (i.e. lining inside the mouth, nose, and eyelids). Dermatologists see patients of all ages, from newborns to teens and people older than 100 years old, and perform the most up-to-date medical, surgical and cosmetic treatments available.
