MEDICAL DERMATOLOGY

Evaluation and Management of Skin, Hair, and Nail Conditions

Medical dermatology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin disease rather than cosmetic enhancement. Many skin conditions are chronic, recurrent, or associated with underlying medical factors, making accurate evaluation essential.

At IVSI, medical dermatology care is provided through careful clinical assessment and evidence-based treatment planning.

CONDITIONS COMMONLY EVALUATED

This includes, but is not limited to:

Acne and rosacea
Dermatitis and eczema
Psoriasis
Fungal and bacterial skin infections
Hair loss and scalp disorders
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
Pigmentary disorders (melasma, lentigines)
Rashes of unclear origin
Chronic itching or skin irritation
Nail disorders

Not all conditions require procedures. When appropriate, conservative or medical treatment options are discussed first.

SKIN CANCER SCREENING & DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION

Early detection of skin cancer relies on careful clinical examination and, when indicated, biopsy.

Evaluation may include:

Full or focused skin examination
Digital dermoscopy when appropriate
Shave or punch biopsy of suspicious lesions

Treatment recommendations are based on pathology results and clinical findings.

WHEN SURGERY OR LASER IS CONSIDERED

If a lesion requires removal, biopsy, or destruction, treatment may transition to in-office skin surgery or CO₂ laser procedures.
