Skin Conditions

Skin conditions can be uncomfortable, and also make it challenging to feel confident about the appearance of your skin. Abdulkareem Kraidy, MD, of Mclaren Health Clinic in Springfield, Virginia, offers caring, compassionate treatment for all types of skin conditions. Whether you’re searching for dermatology care or medical aesthetics, the first step is booking a visit online or calling the office. 

What are some common types of skin conditions?

Your skin, the largest organ of your body, plays a critical role in regulating your body temperature, protecting your internal organs from the elements, and helping your body retain moisture. While your skin is incredibly resilient, it’s also subject to harm from both internal and external forces. 

Some of the skin conditions you might encounter include:

• Acne
• Rosacea
• Skin cancers
• Psoriasis
• Eczema

Numerous rare skin conditions can develop, some of which are challenging to diagnose and treat. Working with a highly skilled medical practitioner like Dr. Kraidy is the best way to protect your skin.  

Which skin conditions are considered aesthetic?

In addition to the functions mentioned above, your skin is also one of the first things people notice about you and a big part of what makes those essential first impressions. Healthy, glowing skin helps you feel more confident about your appearance. 

Some of the skin issues deemed as aesthetic include:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation
• Enlarged pores
• Acne scarring
• Roughly textured skin
• Dull skin tone

Fortunately, many treatments can refresh and renew the appearance and feel of your skin. Dr. Kraidy is happy to sit down with you and explore available options. 

When is the right time to see a professional about skin conditions?

If you experience unusual skin lesions, rashes, or changes in the texture of your skin, it’s important to come in for a dermatologic screening as soon as possible. While most skin issues can be easily treated, some are more serious than others. Skin cancer screening takes very little time and is an important part of preventive health. 

Addressing lacerations, skin growths, and signs of infection is also important. Allowing these matters to worsen can complicate your treatment path. 

If your concerns are aesthetic, you shouldn’t hesitate to schedule a consultation. Skin tag removal, mole removal, or medical aesthetics treatments can help you feel great about the look and feel of your skin. Booking a visit at Mclaren Health Clinic is as easy as making a quick phone calling or spending a few moments online, so don’t delay.
