Medical Dermatology

Minnesota offers a wide range of warm summers and frigid winters which presents unique challenges when it comes to skin care, making medical dermatology a vital aspect of healthcare. Our Minnesota dermatologists and dermatology specialists are well-versed in diagnosing and treating many skin diseases and disorders. Some of the most common medical conditions we treat include:

• Acne: The unique Minnesota climate provides a wide variety of impact and exposure to the skin on your face which can lead to many types of acne. A common concern, especially among adolescents and young adults, that can be effectively managed through a combination of topical treatments, oral medications, and lifestyle modifications. Medical light and laser therapies may be used to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and inflammation for those with severe acne. Some interventions may also help with acne scars.
• Skin Cancer: With the summer exposure to UV rays in Minnesota, skin cancer screenings and early detection are crucial. Our dermatologists and dermatology specialists are trained to identify and treat various types of skin cancers, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, using non-surgical and surgical methods like Moh’s surgery.
• Eczema: This chronic inflammatory skin condition can be exacerbated by the hot and cold Minnesota environment. Our dermatologists and dermatology providers offer targeted eczema therapies, including moisturizers, topical corticosteroids, and immunomodulators, to alleviate symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
• Psoriasis: An autoimmune disorder characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin, psoriasis can be challenging to manage. Our dermatologists and dermatology providers in Minnesota employ various treatments, such as topical medications, photodynamic therapy, and systemic therapies, to control this condition.
• Rosacea: Rosacea, a skin breakout often identified by redness on the face typically centered around the nose, is a common skin condition that affects more than 16 million people. Our dermatologists and dermatology providers have a variety of treatment options from topical medications to laser and stress therapy.

These services are specifically designed to address concerns related to aging, harsh winter weather, and environmental factors unique to Minnesota.
