There are two types of contact dermatitis: irritant dermatitis and allergic dermatitis. Our dermatologists can help isolate the cause of your rash and plan treatment options.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Eczema causes dry, scaly skin and blisters that result in itching and pain. We use the latest medical advances to bring patients relief.
Hives
Hives are red, raised, itchy bumps (welts) on your skin caused by a skin reaction. We will determine the cause of your hives and develop a plan to treat them effectively.
Treatment of Rashes
Rashes affect nearly all of us at some point and may cause irritation or swelling. We treat rashes of every type, including those that are a sign of a more serious illness.
Patch Testing
Typically applied to your back, we use patch testing to determine what is causing an allergic skin reaction. Based on your results, we tailor a personalized treatment plan.
I am passionate about improving the value of medical care - achieving the best possible outcome while minimizing financial costs.
