1. Medical Treatments
  These treatments involve medications or other non-invasive therapies to manage skin conditions.
  • Topical Treatments:
  o Corticosteroids: Used for inflammation in conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
  o Antibiotics: For bacterial infections like impetigo or acne.
  o Antifungals: For fungal infections like ringworm or athlete’s foot.
  o Topical Retinoids: For acne and signs of aging.
  • Oral Medications:
  o Oral Antibiotics: Used for severe acne, rosacea, or skin infections.

  o Immunosuppressants: For autoimmune conditions like psoriasis or eczema.
  o Antiviral Drugs: For herpes simplex or shingles.
  • Biologic Therapies:
  o Used to treat autoimmune skin diseases like psoriasis, eczema, and hidradenitis suppurativa. These medications target specific parts of the immune system.
2. Surgical Procedures:
  When medical or cosmetic treatments aren’t enough, dermatologists perform surgical interventions.
  • Skin Biopsy:
  A small sample of skin is removed to diagnose conditions such as skin cancer, infections, or inflammatory diseases.
3. Dermatologic Procedures for Hair and Nails:
  PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: Involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it, and then injecting it into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
  • Scalp Treatments:
  For conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, or hair loss.
4. Wound Care and Scar Treatment:
  • Scar Revision Surgery: To improve the appearance of scars from surgeries, injuries, or acne.
