Comprehensive Dermatological Care

Achieve healthy and confident skin

At Skin Care Physicians of Georgia, we provide comprehensive dermatologic care for patients of every age. From persistent conditions like acne and eczema to the early detection of skin cancer, our goal is the same — help every patient achieve healthy, confident skin.

Below are the most common conditions we evaluate and treat, though our care is by no means limited to this list.

Conditions We Treat

Expert care for every layer of your skin

Acne

A skin condition affecting the face, chest, and back—commonly during adolescence but sometimes persisting into adulthood. Driven by genetics, stress, diet, and hormones, causing inflamed bumps, whiteheads, blackheads, and cysts. Early treatment helps prevent scarring.

Alopecia

Also known as Hair Loss, Alopecia is an auto-immune disease that attacks hair follicles. When this happens, the person’s hair begins to fall out, often in clumps. There is no cure for alopecia, but we can offer several treatments to support hair growth in early detection.

Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema

A skin condition that causes inflammation and chronic itch. It is most commonly diagnosed in children, and in most cases the condition decreases or completely goes away as the child ages. In some cases, the condition will persist through Adulthood. We offer topicals, biologics, light therapies, and clinical trials as treatment options.

Cold Sores/Fever Blisters

A common viral infection causing tiny, fluid-filled blisters on and around your lips. These blisters are often grouped together in patches. After the blisters break, a scab forms that can last several days. We offer topical and oral treatments.

Dandruff

A common condition that causes the skin on the scalp to flake. Mild dandruff can be treated with a gentle daily shampoo. If that doesn’t work, a medicated shampoo may help.

Hives

Itchy, raised welts that are found on the skin. They are usually red, pink, or flesh-colored, and sometimes they sting or hurt. In most cases, hives are caused by an allergic reaction to a medication or food or a reaction to an irritant in the environment.

Hyperhidrosis/Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating that’s not necessarily related to heat or exercise. You may sweat so much that it soaks through your clothes or drips off your hands. Heat and emotions may trigger hyperhidrosis in some, but many who suffer from hyperhidrosis sweat nearly all their waking hours, regardless of their mood or the weather.

Keloids

A type of raised scar. They occur where the skin has healed after an injury. They can grow to be much larger than the original injury that caused the scar. Anything that can cause a scar can cause a keloid.

Moles

Brown or black spots that can be located anywhere on the body. They can be up singular or in groups and generally appear before adulthood. Over time some moles may change in appearance. It is important to get a skin check once per year by a board-certified dermatologist. Early detection can save lives.

Psoriasis

A skin disease that causes red, itchy scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp. It tends to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a while or going into remission.

Nail Fungus

Causes thickened, brittle, or crumbly nails. You will notice changes in the appearance of nails, and in some cases it may cause pain or have a foul odor.

Rashes

A common skin condition that affects the texture or color of your skin. Your skin may become scaly, bumpy, or itchy. There are many different causes for rashes and we offer a variety of treatments.

Rosacea

A condition that causes redness and it often is paired with small, red, pus filled bumps that appear on the face.

Scars

Growths of tissue marking the spot where skin has healed after an injury.

Skin Cancer

The abnormal growth of skin cells, and is the most common type of cancer. There are many types of skin cancer, but the most common are Basal and Squamous cell Carcinomas and Melanoma. Early detection saves lives. We recommend having a skin cancer screening once a year.

Skin Tags

A common skin growth. They are usually harmless and painless, although they may become irritated from rubbing against clothing.

Staph

Also called staphylococcus infection, it is an infection caused by the bacteria commonly found on the skin or even in the nose. In some cases, the infection may become life-threatening if the bacteria enters the bloodstream.

Vitiligo

A condition that causes the loss of pigment often in blotches or patches in the skin.

Warts

Small, fleshy bumps that occur most often on your fingers or hands.
