Skin Disease Treatment in Key West
What is a skin disease?
A skin disease describes any medical condition that relates to your skin, including eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and vitiligo, just to name a few. When a skin disease is present, it can cause discomfort, itching, swelling, inflammation, and a slew of other painful symptoms that may cause disruption to your everyday life. At Keys Dermatology, our providers are experts when it comes to skin conditions and diseases. We offer professional evaluations, diagnosis, and treatment to control and manage your skin disorder symptoms.
The most common types of skin diseases
The most common skin diseases treated by our skin doctors at Keys Dermatology include the following:
Eczema
Affecting about 3% of the U.S. population, eczema flare-ups can be very uncomfortable. The disease causes irritation of the skin, as well as inflammation on the skin’s surface. Management of eczema symptoms is possible with the help of a dermatologist who can offer the latest eczema treatment options.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is characterized by scaly red patches of skin with white scales. The disorder is the result of an overproduction of skin cells that causes a build up of dead skin at the surface. Flare-ups from psoriasis can seemingly come out of nowhere and are often irritating or itchy. Visit our team of dermatologists in Florida, for psoriasis treatment and management.
Rosacea
This skin condition appears as small red blemishes or discoloration in the skin, generally in the cheeks or nose. Rosacea may give the appearance of blushing even when a person is not. This can affect a person’s self-confidence and appearance. Treatment for rosacea is offered at Keys Dermatology.
Vitiligo
Skin discoloration and loss of pigmentation in certain areas of the skin are the main characteristics of the skin disease known as vitiligo. The condition usually affects younger people between the ages of 10 and 30, but can occur at any age and is often found in multiple areas of the body. A skilled dermatologist can evaluate your vitiligo symptoms and recommend the best treatment options for your needs.
