Dr. Lloyd works with you, using the latest skin care, topical, oral, and laser treatments to get acne under control and get rid of it completely.
- Eczema – An autoimmune disorder that impairs the skin’s barrier function. Dr. Lloyd tailors care to your skin type.
- Melasma – Proper diagnosis and care for this skin discoloration are vital – numerous products and treatments worsen melasma.
- Psoriasis – This autoimmune disorder affects skin and joints. Thick red skin lesions with silvery scales are characteristic.
- Rosacea – Rosacea presents as redness, pus bumps, and red bumps on facial skin, especially around the nose. It can also make eyes feel dry and sandy. Dr. Lloyd helps patients identify triggers. A customized, physician-grade skin care routine combined with laser treatment produces excellent results.
- Skin cancer – This is the most common cancer in the United States. One in five Americans will have a basal cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma frequently appears on face and neck, and can spread to lymph nodes or organs. Melanoma is often deadly. All types of skin cancer are related to UV exposure.
