What are some dermatology conditions and treatments?

The team at Catalyst Medical Group provides general dermatology care. Treatments available are:

Infections 

Viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites can all find their way into your skin and cause a variety of skin infections. We can help diagnose the cause of infections and prescribe treatment. 

Nail Problems

Spots, discoloration, and nail separation are common nail issues that are treated by the providers in Dermatology at Catalyst Medical Group. 

Skin cancer screenings

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. The team at Catalyst Medical Group provides skin cancer screenings for patients at risk of skin cancer or those concerned about an unusual growth.

During a skin cancer screening, the provider carefully examines your skin from head-to-toe, noting any abnormalities. They also document your moles and growths so they can monitor for changes at your next skin cancer screening.

Skin cancer treatment

The team at Catalyst Medical Group provides skin cancer treatment. This includes removal of abnormal growths, along with the surrounding healthy skin. The team sends the sample to the lab for analysis and schedules routine follow-up appointments to monitor skin health.

Catalyst Medical Group doesn’t perform Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer.
