Dermatology Sicklerville, NJ

Treating moderate to severe cystic or nodular acne is notoriously difficult, and the pain and discomfort of this condition can severely impact your quality of life. When other treatments have not worked, your board-certified dermatologist may prescribe Accutane. 

Accutane is an prescription oral retinoid treatment clinically proven to provide lasting relief from acne. Working deep in the pores to prevent breakouts, Accutane prevents the formation of sebum in the sebaceous glands, alleviating acne symptoms.

Mohs surgery is the treatment of choice for the most commonly diagnosed forms of skin cancer. This precise procedure involves cutting away very small amounts of tissue, then examining the tissue under a microscope to ensure all the cancer cells have been removed.

Depending on how deeply the cancer has spread, several rounds may be required. But this approach allows the dermatologist to preserve as much healthy tissue as possible and minimizes the invasiveness of the procedure.

For many adults, skin cancer screenings are part of our yearly overall health regimen. Your board-certified dermatologist may recommend this painless examination be carried out more frequently if you have already had skin cancer, take certain medications, or have a family history of skin cancer. 

A skin cancer screening should be scheduled urgently if you notice the appearance of new skin discolorations, moles or marks on the skin that are growing larger, or sores that will not heal.
