Manage Triggers, Symptoms, and More in New Jersey

While many medical skin conditions can resolve after being treated, chronic conditions are long-lasting—typically lifelong—issues that can take a physical, mental, and emotional toll. Typically, there is no cure for a chronic condition, though signs and symptoms can be managed. Testing and education can also help patients to avoid triggers that cause symptoms to flare up. With patience and care, people dealing with chronic conditions can enjoy life with minimized impact.

Psoriasis

This chronic autoimmune condition is caused by the immune system sending faulty signals that result in skin cells growing too rapidly. The result is discolored patches that appear with the formation of new skin cells. Psoriasis is extremely common, impacting more than 100 million people worldwide. It can occur at any age, though it is most common in patients between the ages of 15 and 30. Unfortunately, there is currently no lasting cure for psoriasis, but there are several effective methods of managing the condition to minimize symptoms during an outbreak and avoid triggers that might cause future flares.

Rosacea

With an estimated one in 10 Americans impacted by chronic redness and other symptoms, rosacea is considered one of the most common inflammatory conditions affecting the skin. The problem impacts patients differently, but the most common symptoms include facial redness, rashes, visible blood vessels, thickening skin, and eye irritation. While genetic and environmental factors are both believed to play a role in its development, the exact cause of rosacea has not yet been identified. Like other chronic conditions, this condition does not have a lasting cure. However, the providers at Skin & Laser Center of NJ are equipped with treatments and medications to help minimize the impact it has on patients. In addition to minimizing symptoms, the goal of these treatments is to decrease the frequency of flares.

Eczema

Eczema includes a range of symptoms that can impact patients differently. These include itchiness, dry skin, rashes, scaly patches, blisters, and skin infections. With more than 30 million Americans affected by these inflammatory skin conditions, it is extremely common, so the providers at Skin & Laser Center of NJ have significant experience developing treatment plans to help bring relief. There are several factors that contribute to the development of eczema, including an overactive immune system, genetics, environmental irritants, and stress. While many of these factors are beyond a patient’s control, empowering our patients with knowledge and an effective, customized treatment plan allows them to seize control of their skin health.

Keratosis Pilaris

This extremely common skin condition impacts more than 50 percent of teenagers and roughly 40 percent of adults over the course of their lifetime. While the condition is benign, patients affected by keratosis pilaris experience tiny bumps that resemble goosebumps and are most likely to occur on the upper arms and thighs. These bumps will clear up on their own, but may be accompanied by other symptoms including itching, dryness, and inflammation. For patients seeking relief, the providers at Skin & Laser Center of NJ can develop a treatment plan incorporating prescription creams, gels, and ointments.
