Dermatology
Full Dermatologic
Services Are Available:
A full
range of dermatologic services is available by appointment.
Dr.
Mash and her staff treat psoriasis, fungus of the toes
and fingernails, severely dry skin (xerosis), miscellaneous skin
rashes, eczema, tinia versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, keratosis
and hyperplasia, and acne, among other skin disorders.
They
remove cancerous growths for biopsy, unwanted skin lesions such
as warts, moles, skin tags, cherry angiomas, birthmarks, age spots,
solar lentigos, and related skin anomalies.
In
the treatment of acne they have several approaches, including antibiotics,
Accutane, topical medications and regimens, and laser treatments.
Our N-Lite Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) laser with PhotoDynamic Therapy
(PDT) using the Levulon Stick (aminolevulinic acid) is approved
by the FDA in the treatment of cystic acne, which offers a viable
alternative to those who prefer not to take oral antibiotics.
Dermatology
for the Community:
Dr. Mash and her staff frequently
participate in outreach services, with connections to
the Police Athletic League, and local schools, whereby there is
no charge for her services when parents of patients are unable to
pay for their children’s skin issues.
Their
community outreach extends to participation in and donations to
local outdoor community events such as marathon and bicycle races,
where skin protection and sun damage prevention are important issues.
