Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a genetic skin condition affecting up to 7.5 million people annually in the United States. While there is no cure for psoriasis, our team offers effective treatments to minimize symptoms and speed up healing, helping you manage the condition comfortably.

Eczema

Eczema is an immune response to various triggers such as soaps, clothing, and weather conditions. Commonly characterized by dry, red, and itchy patches, eczema can worsen when scratched. Over-the-counter creams may not be effective, and prescription topical medications are often necessary to alleviate discomfort and promote healing. Dr. Knoell will work closely with you to diagnose and treat eczema effectively.

Melasma

Melasma is a skin condition characterized by brown patches on the face, often affecting the forehead, cheeks, chin, and upper lip. Although the cause of melasma is unknown, hormonal factors can contribute to its development. Valley Dermatology offers topical treatments for melasma to diminish and fade its appearance.

Seborrheic Keratosis

Seborrheic keratosis, commonly referred to as warts or moles, are typically non-cancerous growths that can appear on various parts of the body. Our team is experienced in diagnosing and treating seborrheic keratosis effectively, ensuring that you receive the best possible care.
