ACNE

In addition to the effect on our appearance, acne can negatively impact our self-esteem and confidence. Treating acne effectively can take a combination of advanced treatments to get long-term improvements and a clearer complexion.  At Central Washington Dermatology & Cosmetics of Yakima, we utilize innovative laser resurfacing, chemical peels, microneedling, and medical grade skin care, as well as oral and topical medications in a customized treatment to restore your skin's appearance.

 

ECZEMA & DERMATITIS

Eczema and dermatitis are common skin conditions that cause inflammation and a red, itchy rash.  Whether due to allergic reaction to a substance or genetic factors, our medical providers will provide you with a full evaluation to determine the cause and create a custom treatment plan.

 

HAIR LOSS { ALOPECIA } 

Premature hair loss can be a disappointing and upsetting condition, making you feel that you look older than you feel.  If you notice your hair is falling out or thinning significantly, our practitioners can provide you with treatment options that can effectively reduce, stop and, and in some cases, reverse your hair loss. 

 

HYPERHIDROSIS & EXCESSIVE SWEATING

If you notice that you sweat profusely regardless of your circumstances, you may be suffering from hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating.  The good news is that you don't have to continue living with the mess and embarrassment of hyperhidrosis.  Our medical providers use innovative treatments, like Botox or prescription medications to effectively reduce sweat production.

 

LUMPS, BUMPS, AND MOLES

While most are benign, skin bumps can mar a smooth complexion and draw unwanted attention.  What's more, with the wide-spread occurrence of skin cancer, it's important to have any lump or mole evaluated by one of our skilled medical providers here at Central Washington Dermatology & Cosmetics, PS of Yakima.

 

MELASMA

Characterized by hyperpigmentation or brown patches found primarily on the face, melasma is commonly caused by sun exposure and hormone changes.  We have many state-of-the-art treatment options such as lasers, chemical peels, and topical medications.  Our skilled team will help guide you towards the treatment plan that is right for your skins individual needs.

 

ROSACEA

Rosacea causes wide-ranging symptoms, from lasting facial redness and stinging to uncontrolled blushing or swelling.  It is a unique skin condition that requires a customized approach in order to manage each patient's individual symptoms.  Rosacea flare-ups can be managed and symptoms can be improved with a comprehensive treatment of topical and oral medications, laser treatments, and peels.

 

SKIN ALLERGIES

One of the main reasons people get an evaluation with a dermatologist is for skin allergies, most commonly in the form of rashes on the skin.  While many mysterious rashes and skin irritations can be improved with treatments, a full evaluation by one of our practitioners is important to help determine both the cause and the appropriate treatment options.

 

SKIN CANCER SCREENING / DERMOSCOPY

As one of the most common cancers in the U.S., skin cancer screening and treatment is crucial for patients of all ages and skin types.  Our medical team offers comprehensive skin cancer diagnosis and treatment services.  When detected early, most types of skin cancer can be successfully treated before spreading to other parts of the body.  Our medical providers frequently rely on dermoscopy to assist in the identification of potential skin lesions.  Dermoscopy is a specialized practice utilizing a magnifying lens to look at layers of a lesion and often leads to more accurate diagnosis. Our providers offer comprehensive skin cancer diagnosis and treatment services including biopsy of lesions, surgical excision of skin cancers and crysurgery.  In the event that your positive skin cancer requires MOHS, we have multiple dermatologists within the state that we partner with to provide this service.

 

VITILIGO

If you're experiencing blotchy patches of skin or loss of pigmentation, then you may have the chronic skin condition vitiligo.  While vitiligo can't be cured, our team can help lessen its appearance on your skin using an array or treatments including steroids and non steroidal agents.

In addition to the above medical conditions, our providers are specialists in complex skin disorders like fungal infections, impetigo, autoimmune disorders, and shingles.  Our experts are skilled with children, making us the perfect choice for your family's skin needs.
