When Should You See a Dermatologist?

There are many reasons to turn to a dermatologist for medical care. You may benefit from seeing us if:

  • You’re struggling with acne (teen, adult, hormonal, cystic, or severe) that isn’t improving with home care
  • You have a mole that looks suspicious, is changing, or is bleeding
  • You notice red, scaly, cracked, or burning skin
  • You are dealing with skin rashes, hives, or frequent skin infections
  • You’ve experienced hair thinning or hair loss and want professional options
  • You’ve been told you are at higher risk for skin cancer, or it’s time for your annual skin cancer screening

Dermatology Procedures & Treatments

  • Skin Cancer Screenings: During a skin cancer exam, your dermatologist performs a full-body check, including the scalp, feet, and nails, using proper lighting and tools like a dermatoscope to closely examine spots. Suspicious moles may be photographed to monitor changes, and if needed, a biopsy is done to ensure early detection and the proper treatment.
  • Mohs Surgery: Mohs surgery can be used to diagnose and treat skin cancers, including squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
  • Acne Treatment: If you have severe or cystic acne, the team examines your skin and reviews your medical history to come up with a personalized treatment plan to clear your skin. Individualized treatment for acne can involve medications, topical products, and various therapies to alleviate inflammation and bacteria.
  • Red, scaly, cracked, or burning skin is often a sign of conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea. These issues can cause irritation, flare-ups, and discomfort if not managed. Our board-certified dermatologists can help identify the cause and create a treatment plan to calm your skin and prevent future flare-ups.
  • Skin rashes, hives, or frequent infections can show up as itchy bumps, welts, or patches that don’t go away on their own. Our board-certified dermatologists can pinpoint the cause and provide treatment to bring fast relief and help prevent them from coming back.
  • Hair Loss Treatment: Our board-certified dermatologists create personalized plans for men, women, children, and adults based on your hair loss type and lifestyle, grounded in evidence-based medicine.

Patient Review

Second time I've seen Dr. Rimer. Both times have been very positive and worthwhile. He listen's and communicates very well. He does a very thorough exam. And has solved some minor issues that I've had. I plan to continue to see him for regular appointments and treatments.
