Overcoming Pigmentation Irregularities and Blemishes

Brown Spots, Red Spots, and Blemishes – Oh My!
There are many medical classifications for spots and blemishes that appear on your face and make you look older than your age. Regardless of the technical names, most people simply want them gone.Pigment irregularities and blemishes have numerous causes. Most spots are harmless, but only a professional diagnosis can determine that accurately. It is important to work with a Board-Certified Dermatologist to establish the root cause, and get you on the right treatment path.
Skin Care Should Help, Not Harm
The wrong products can worsen your skin condition. They may clog pores and intensify discoloration. It is imperative that your daily regimen includes only products appropriate for your skin type that will not aggravate spots and blemishes or cause acne.A professional skin care consultation with Dr. Amanda Lloyd includes:
- Thorough examination
- Analysis (with testing, if necessary) of pigmentation spots and blemishes
- Unhurried discussion of your concerns
- Understanding of your lifestyle habits that impact skin (sun exposure, use of tobacco, diet, etc.)
- Review of your current skin care routine
Then, Dr. Lloyd works with you, using both medical and cosmetic dermatology techniques, to rid your skin of blemishes and unwanted pigmentation. She designs a personalized regimen of products and treatments if necessary to help your skin look its best every day. She also talks with you about the importance of daily sunscreen to protect your skin from the sunny San Diego skies.
