Care that’s more than skin deep
McComb Skin Clinic offers comprehensive medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology care with a tradition of compassion and excellence by board certified dermatology specialists.
Your Benefits
Dermatology is the only medical specialty completely devoted to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the skin, the largest organ of the body.
Medical
Medical conditions of the skin, hair, and nails are many. They include eczema, dermatitis, alopecia, hyperhydrosis, keloids, lichen planus, folliculitis, granuloma annulare, molluscum contagiosum, pruritus, herpes simplex, shingles, rosacea, acne, scabies, psoriasis, fungal infections, staph infections, urticaria, keratosis pilaris, neuritis, paronychia, pityriasis rosea, hidradenitis suppurativa, telangiectasia, impetigo, drug reactions, carbuncles, ulcers, lupus, and sarcoidosis. The skin is the largest organ of the body, and various systemic medical conditions manifest first in the skin.
Surgical
Procedures are done on site. Biopsies for diagnostic purposes, skin tag removal, and cryotherapy for the removal of benign and pre-malignant lesion such as actinic keratoses, inflamed sebhorreic lesions, and verrucae may be done at the time of an initial visit dependent upon the time necessary.
Excision and suture repair (either superficial or layered closures) for removal of lesions such as dermoid, pilondial, or myxoid cysts and for malignant lesion such as melanoma, squamous cell, and basal cell carcinomas are performed under local anesthesia in our surgery suite. Excision and suture repair are offered for cosmetic purposes if desired.
