With personalized care and expert treatment, Dr. McCormack is here to provide long-term solutions for your skin health.

Chronic and Age-Related Skin Conditions

Adult skin is prone to a wide range of conditions, from chronic diseases to changes associated with aging. Some of the most common skin problems we treat include:

• Acne: Adult acne can be persistent and difficult to treat without professional care. We offer specialized therapies, including prescription topicals and oral medications.
• Rosacea: This chronic condition causes redness, enlarged blood vessels, and bumps on the face. With the right treatment, symptoms can be effectively managed.
• Psoriasis and Eczema: These inflammatory skin disorders can cause itching, redness, and discomfort. Treatment focuses on reducing flare-ups and maintaining skin health.
• Skin Tags: These harmless growths are common in adults and can be easily removed in-office for cosmetic or comfort reasons.
• Seborrheic Dermatitis is characterized by flaky, itchy patches, usually on the scalp or face. It responds well to medicated shampoos and topical treatments.
• Skin Cancer: Routine skin exams are essential for early detection and treatment of skin cancer, particularly in adults with significant sun exposure.

These conditions are common and highly treatable with the right dermatologic care.

Why See a Dermatologist for Adult Skin Concerns?

Seeing a dermatologist is about more than cosmetic improvement—it’s about maintaining long-term skin and overall health. Early diagnosis and proper management can prevent conditions from progressing and improve your quality of life.

Dr. McCormack provides a wide range of treatments, including:

• Topical and Oral Medications: To manage inflammation, chronic skin conditions, and infections.
• In-Office Procedures: Including skin tag removal, biopsies, and light therapy for psoriasis.
• Preventive Screenings: Routine skin checks for early skin cancer detection and other issues.
• Lifestyle Guidance: Skincare recommendations, sun protection strategies, and advice for managing chronic conditions.

You can enjoy healthy, radiant skin at any stage with proper care.
