Adult Dermatology

What is adult dermatology?

Adult dermatology covers an array of skin conditions, both common and uncommon. If you have concerns about a growth, lesion, rash, or any other unusual features that have appeared somewhere on your skin, a board-certified dermatologist at Leading Edge Dermatology can give you a comprehensive evaluation with answers to all of your questions about your skin health.

To identify adult dermatology conditions, Leading Edge Dermatology uses advanced diagnostic practices like skin biopsies and patch testing. After identifying your skin condition, they develop a personalized care plan using the latest medications and procedures available today. Treatments can alleviate symptoms, minimize irritation, or prevent future flare-ups.

Leading Edge Dermatology® encourages most adults to come in for skin examinations to look for signs of skin cancer, especially if you have fair skin or a family history of skin cancer. 

These evaluations examine every inch of your skin for unusual lesions. You should also be sure to track your moles for any changes in their appearance, which you should report to your dermatologist.
