What are some common skin conditions?

Your skin acts as a protective barrier between your organs and muscles and the outside world, shielding you from various pathogens and protecting you from injury. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it’s not immune to health conditions of its own. 

Consider scheduling a visit to Dr. Joe DX if you notice:

• Rash
• Inflammation
• Itching
• Cracked skin
• Hyperpigmentation
• Thickened skin 
• Scales
• Lesions
• Persistent or recurrent pimples

Simply optimizing your skin care routine might not be enough to control your skin symptoms. Dr. Joe DX offers professional skin care treatments for specific conditions. The team starts with a detailed exam and skin evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms. 

Which conditions require professional skin care?

Dr. Joe DX specializes in diagnosing and managing a variety of common skin conditions, including:

Eczema

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a skin condition that can occur when your skin has a weak protective barrier. It results in intense dryness, cracking, itchiness, and crusting. 

Rosacea

Rosacea causes facial redness and flushing along with possible other symptoms, such as broken blood vessels, eye problems, or a bulbous nose. 

Acne

Acne breakouts happen when the sebaceous glands in your skin get clogged with sebum (oil) and dead skin cells, which can then become inflamed because of bacteria. 

How does professional skin care work?

The team at Dr. Joe DX examines your skin and can diagnose any existing skin health issues. They can also help you optimize your home skin care routine to minimize common skin concerns, such as dryness, pigmentation, and large pores. 

In many cases, professional dermatological treatments can reduce symptoms such as inflammation and lesions. You might also benefit from lifestyle changes to improve your skin health. Depending on your most pressing skin symptoms, the team at Dr. Joe DX might recommend:

• Oral medications (e.g., hormonal birth control, isotretinoin)
• Microneedling
• Light or laser treatments
• Topical medications or products
• Dietary adjustments
• Nutritional supplements
• Stress management

Some conditions, such as eczema, flare up in response to triggers. The team at Dr. Joe DX can help you identify triggers that worsen your skin condition so you can try to avoid them.
