At Advanced Dermatology and Mohs Surgery, Dr. Sharon Horton empathizes with patients who suffer from devastating skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, dermatitis, and many more. Blackheads, whiteheads, bumps, and pimples can persist, and be extremely painful unless you identify the cause and seek proper treatment. Fortunately, we provide a number of various methods to control outbreaks, improve physical appearance, reduce discomfort, and lessen the severity of symptoms.

Common Skin Issues

Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and sometimes it acquires damage from the sun, environmental factors, toxic substances, or genetics. If you have been noticing some troubling developments, visit our Batavia, IL, office for a diagnosis. We can successfully treat:

• Acne - pores that are clogged up by oil and dead skin cells
• Rosacea - a condition that produces small, red, pus-filled bumps along with redness and visible blood vessels in the face
• Eczema - an itchy inflammation of the skin that causes red patches, blisters, cracks, and roughness
• Psoriasis - a skin disorder that forms scales and itchy dry patches
• Contact Dermatitis - a red itchy rash that usually results from an allergic reaction or direct contact with a substance

If a rash covers more than 10% of your body or an open sore doesn't heal after two weeks, you should visit a dermatologist immediately.

How a Dermatologist Can Help

At our Batavia office, Dr. Horton can identify triggers for your skin issues and develop a custom treatment plan to help avoid them and decrease or eliminate symptoms. The type of technique she suggests will depend on the patient's specific case, condition, and severity of symptoms. Some of the conventional approaches we utilize at our Acne Clinic include corticosteroids, light and laser therapy, oral and topical medications, or microdermabrasion. Additionally, if you have concerns about the health of your skin, Dr. Horton can determine sufficient ways to help you protect it
