Houston, Texas medical dermatology specialist keeps complexions healthy in the Katy area
When you think of seeing a dermatologist, you might think their main role is providing cosmetic skin treatments. However, a dermatologist is trained to diagnose and treat more than 3,000 diseases of the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. They can diagnose and treat something as simple as a poison ivy rash to chronic conditions as complex as psoriasis. If you have a bump, rash, or mole that you are worried about, and you are in the Houston, Texas or Katy, Texas area, Dr. S.M. Weaver is a renowned medical dermatology specialist available to get your skin and hair healthy.
Some conditions a dermatologist treats:
- Severe acne and rosacea
- Bumps and growths (keloids, keratosis pilaris, moles, and seborrheic keratosis fall into this category).
- Skin discoloration.
- Contagious skin diseases (including athlete’s foot, cold sores, impetigo, ringworm, and scabies)
- Extremely dry or sweaty skin (can be caused by severely dry skin, hand eczema, or hyperhidrosis).
- Eczema and dermatitis: conditions that cause the skin to become inflamed or irritated.
- Hair and scalp problems: Alopecia areata, dandruff, hair loss, and scalp psoriasis.
