A skin condition can sabotage someone’s ability to make social and professional connections. A skin condition can be an itchy or achy nuisance. It can affect your ability to get through the day. Some conditions are also warning signs that more serious problems may be on the way. What’s more, if it’s a condition that hasn’t been diagnosed in the past, you may not be sure how serious the problem is. Our medical dermatology clinic can diagnose and treat all kinds of skin conditions.
Skin growths can be completely innocuous to moderately annoying to truly dangerous.

That’s why you should get regular skin exams from our dermatologist. Find out what different skin growths tend to look like and what symptoms suggest you should make an appointment with our Chesterfield clinic as soon as possible.
