Accutane, also known as Isotretinoin, is a Vitamin A derivative used to treat severe acne. If you’ve tried all other treatment methods for acne, and none of those worked, then Accutane may be recommended. Generally, people see clearer, more radiant skin within four to five months. Although Accutane has offered hope to millions, the drug does pose some risks, especially among women that are pregnant. At BHSkin Dermatology, we talk to our patients about both the benefits and risks, so together, we can make an informed decision.

Psoriasis is a chronic and genetic inflammatory skin condition, causing well-demarcated red and scaly plaques on the skin. It can affect any part of the body, but is usually seen on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back.

Psoriasis can be mild, but also cause nail changes, crippling joint disease, and arthritis. This is why getting the right treatment is vital before it develops into a more frustrating and troublesome problem.

Our dermatologists use treatments like topical steroids and biologic antibody medications to help you get back to your routine quickly.

Skin tags are small nagging growths that appear on the surface of the body, including a person’s armpit and eyelids. Anyone can be impacted by these skin growths, but they are most commonly found in middle-aged or elderly individuals. While skin tags are generally benign, many people consider them unsightly and therefore want them removed. They can also cause irritation when rubbed against clothing. The team at BHSkin Dermatology works hand-in-hand with our patients to talk about the different options available for skin tag removal.
