Medical Dermatology

Medical Dermatology in Mukilteo

Focused dermatology care is available for common skin, hair, scalp, and lesion concerns. Evaluation comes before treatment so cosmetic-appearing changes are not assumed benign.

What Conditions Are Evaluated?

Care may include acne, rosacea, dermatitis, hair loss, warts, actinic keratoses, skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, sebaceous hyperplasia, and others.

Are Skin Cancers Evaluated?

Suspicious or changing lesions can be assessed. When biopsy, pathology, excision, Mohs surgery, or specialist care is appropriate, referral is coordinated with the appropriate dermatology provider.

What Procedures Are Offered?

Depending on the diagnosis, options may include electrocautery or electrodesiccation, curettage, shave removal, laser treatment, topical or oral prescriptions, and referral.

How Elizabeth Approaches Skin Concerns

I start by identifying what we are actually treating. If a spot needs biopsy or referral before cosmetic care, that comes first. When care is appropriate here, I explain the options, expected healing, and what would make us change course. Explore care for acne, rosacea, and scars.

Aftercare

After a procedure, follow the dressing, cleansing, ointment, medication, and sun-protection plan provided. Do not pick treated areas. Contact the clinic for persistent bleeding, spreading redness, drainage, fever, worsening pain, poor healing, or a lesion that continues to change.
