Acne

Since tens of millions of people across the United States deal with acne, the most common skin condition in the country, Dr. Turner and her team routinely diagnose and treat cases from non-inflammatory blackheads to significant and severe cysts and nodules.

Eczema/Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis, commonly referred to as eczema, has a range of symptoms. Dr. Turner works identify potential triggers and relieve the itching and redness typical of flare-ups, whether the condition is impacting children or adults.

Brown Spots and Melasma

Though doctors are not sure what causes melasma, the telltale brown spots can be lightened so as to be less noticeable. Dr. Turner and her team work with patients to both manage the symptoms and provide education to minimize future problems.

Moles

There seem to be as many ways moles can appear as there are people for them to appear on. Whether flat or raised, purely cosmetic or worrisome when viewed as a potential sign of skin cancer, moles are best examined by a licensed dermatologist, who can determine what—if anything—should be done about them.

Molluscum Contagiosum

Resembling warts, molluscum contagiosum is a disease caused by a virus, making it easy to spread. The growths it causes can go away on their own over time—potentially years—but can also be removed in a general dermatology setting.

Psoriasis

Like several general dermatology conditions, psoriasis currently has no cure, but it can be managed. The scaly or bumpy patches it causes take many forms, which can be controlled depending on a variety of factors.

Rosacea

A persistent redness due to a specific disease, rosacea is yet another general dermatology condition that requires treatment of symptoms, since there is no cure. Because home-based remedies can sometimes make the condition worse, treatment by a professional dermatologist is crucial.

Sebhorrheic Keratosis

Though the bumpy growths that mark sebhorrheic keratosis are benign, official diagnosis should be made by a dermatologist, since these growths can closely resemble other, more serious general dermatology problems, such as skin cancer.

Scars

A seemingly unavoidable fact of life, scars may be due to cuts, burns, or other trauma, as well as surgical procedures or general dermatology conditions, such as acne. There are numerous options for reducing the appearance of visible scars, with specific treatments depending on the type of scar, its size and appearance, and its location on the body.

Wellness Testing

Wellness testing involves in-office checks, lab work, and more to explore hormone imbalances, the presence of heavy metals, cardiometabolic risk, problems with gut health, and other potential causes of chronic issues and concerns.

Other Conditions

The general dermatology conditions mentioned above are not the only problems Dr. Turner and her team are prepared to diagnose and treat. Other conditions patients bring in include dermatofibromas, keratosis pilaris, lipomas, milia, and hemangiomas.
