Lakes Dermatology

“Wait... I can visit Lakes Dermatology for that?” 👀

Yep! Dermatology goes far beyond annual skin checks . From acne and eczema to warts, rashes, hair loss, scalp concerns, nail changes and more, there are plenty of reasons to make an appointment.

If something involving your skin, hair or nails has you wondering whether it's worth getting checked out - give us a call

As the air gets cooler and drier, your skin may need a little more support than it did all summer!

Keep it simple: use a gentle cleanser, moisturize regularly, protect your skin with SPF 30+ and pay attention to how your skin responds as the weather changes.

And yes - sunscreen stays in the routine 😉 We love our Elta MD, in the clinic next time you stop by!

Not sure what routine your skin needs? Let’s visit! Don’t forget about our quick care on Thursdays!

October is Eczema Awareness Month! 🤎

As temperatures start to drop, you might notice your skin feeling a little drier, itchier or more irritated than usual. But how do you know if it's seasonal dry skin or something more? Swipe to learn more about eczema (or just dry skin!)

Eczema can sometimes look like ordinary dryness, but persistent itching, inflammation, recurring patches and skin that doesn't improve with your usual moisturizer may be signs it's worth having checked.

If you're not sure what your skin is trying to tell you, we're here to help!

Your summer tan is fading.. which makes fall a great time to take another look at your skin 🔎
Pay attention to spots that are:
🤎New
🤎Changing
🤎Itching or bleeding
🤎Different from the others
🤎Simply making you wonder.. “Has that always been there?”
You know your skin better than anyone. If something looks different or doesn't seem right, don't wait for your next annual check to mention it.
And if you're due for a routine skin exam, fall is a great time to get it on the calendar!

Yes we can treat your scalp, too! 👀👏
Noticing more hair in the shower? A widening part? Bald patches? Or maybe an itchy, flaky scalp that no amount of dandruff shampoo seems to fix?
Your hair + scalp health can mean many different reasons behind changes like these.
Hair loss and scalp concerns may include everything from temporary shedding and alopecia to seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and other conditions, which is why getting the right diagnosis matters.
Instead of buying another product and hoping for the best, let’s get to the root of what’s going on 😉 Our team can evaluate your hair and scalp concerns and discuss treatment options that may be right for you.
Have a hair or scalp concern? Give us a call!

If you or your child has dealt with a stubborn wart, you know the struggle.
Warts are caused by certain types of viruses and can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact or contaminated surfaces. Picking, scratching or touching warts can make it easier for them to spread to other areas.
Some warts eventually disappear on their own, but others can stick around, spread or become uncomfortable.
If you’ve tried to get rid of one and it just keeps hanging on, let us take a look! Our team can confirm what you’re dealing with and recommend treatment options based on the type and location.

Does your skin hate fall? 🍂😩
As temperatures drop and the air gets drier, your skin can lose moisture more easily and for those with eczema, that can mean itching, redness, rough patches, cracking and uncomfortable flare-ups.
But how do you know if it’s just seasonal dry skin or something more? 👀
Eczema tends to be more than simply feeling “dry.” Persistent itching, inflammation, recurring patches, thickened or cracked skin, and rashes that just won’t clear up may be signs it’s time to have your skin evaluated.
You don’t have to spend all fall scratching + guessing! Let our team help determine what’s going on and find a treatment plan that works for your skin 🤍

If you’re suddenly dealing with a red, itchy, irritated rash, contact dermatitis could be the culprit.

Contact dermatitis happens when your skin reacts to something it’s come in contact with and sometimes the trigger isn’t as obvious as you’d think! 👀

Common culprits can include:
🧼 Soaps + detergents
🌸 Fragrances
🌿 Plants
💍 Metals like nickel
🧴 Skincare + cosmetic products
🧤 Certain materials or chemicals

If that mystery rash isn’t going away, keeps coming back, or you just can’t figure out what’s causing it, let our team take a look.
