What is Dermatology?

Dermatology is the medical field that takes care of your skin, hair, and nails. It’s important because:

Your skin is your body’s first line of defense against the sun, germs, and injuries.
Dermatologists are trained to spot skin cancer early, when it’s easiest to treat.
Skin problems like acne, rashes, or eczema can affect your comfort and confidence— dermatology providers help manage them.
Changes in the skin can sometimes signal other health issues inside the body.
Regular check-ups help prevent small problems from becoming big ones.

Dermatology Conditions and Diseases Treated at Pinehurst Medical Clinic

Acne

Acne is a common skin condition causing pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cysts, usually on the face, chest, or back. Triggers include hormones, excess oil, bacteria, and stress. Gentle cleansing, non-comedogenic skincare, and doctor-recommended treatments help control breakouts and prevent scarring.

Eczema / Dermatitis

Eczema is a common, non-contagious skin condition causing red, dry, itchy patches. Triggers include soaps, allergies, stress, and weather. Daily moisturizing, gentle skin care, and doctor-recommended creams help control flare-ups and soothe irritation.

Moles

A mole (also called a nevus) is a small growth on the skin. It happens when pigment cells (the cells that give your skin its color) group together in one spot.

What do moles look like?

Round or oval in shape
Flat or raised
Colors: pink, tan, brown, or black
Smooth or sometimes slightly rough

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious skin condition causing thick, red, scaly patches. Triggers include stress, infections, medications, and skin injuries. Moisturizers, doctor-recommended creams, light therapy, and lifestyle care help manage flare-ups and keep skin comfortable.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic, non-contagious skin condition causing facial redness, bumps, and visible blood vessels. Triggers include sun, heat, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress. Gentle skincare, sun protection, and doctor-recommended treatments help control flare-ups and reduce symptoms.

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer happens when skin cells grow in an abnormal, uncontrolled way. Most cases are caused by too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. The good news? It’s preventable—and treatable when caught early.

Warts

Warts are small, usually rough growths caused by HPV. They can appear on hands, feet, or face and are contagious. Many go away on their own, but over-the-counter treatments or doctor removal can speed healing. Avoid picking to prevent spreading.
