Acne is a common skin condition that includes blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and clogged pores, typically appearing on the face, chest, or back. While it often begins during adolescence due to hormonal changes, acne can also affect children and adults at any age. Breakouts can range from occasional blemishes to more persistent or severe forms that may lead to scarring if left untreated.
Our dermatologists can help identify the type and cause of your acne and recommend an effective treatment plan tailored to your skin’s needs.
Contact dermatitis is a common skin condition that occurs when the skin reacts to something it touches. It generally falls into two categories: allergic contact dermatitis, which is an immune reaction to substances like fragrances, metals, or certain plants; and irritant contact dermatitis, which results from repeated exposure to things like soaps, detergents, or other everyday chemicals.
Our dermatologists will work with you to determine the specific type and cause of your dermatitis or eczema. This may involve a thorough skin evaluation and, in some cases, allergy patch testing. Once identified, we’ll help you develop a personalized plan to reduce flare-ups and avoid future irritation—so you can get back to feeling comfortable in your skin.
Mohs surgery is a highly effective treatment for certain types of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It involves carefully removing thin layers of skin and examining them under a microscope until no cancer cells remain—allowing for maximum precision with minimal removal of healthy tissue.
The procedure is performed in our office under local anesthesia for your comfort. At Puyallup Dermatology Clinic, we have an on-site, CLIA-certified lab to support this specialized treatment, ensuring both convenience and the highest standard of care.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes red, scaly patches, often on the scalp, elbows, knees, hands, and feet. While it isn’t contagious, it can be itchy, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful—impacting both physical comfort and confidence.
Some individuals with psoriasis may also develop psoriatic arthritis, an inflammatory condition that leads to joint pain and stiffness. Early diagnosis and tailored treatment can help manage symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve overall quality of life. Our team is here to help you find the right approach for your skin and lifestyle.
The three most common types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. While anyone can develop skin cancer at any age, the risk increases with sun exposure, including tanning beds, time spent at high altitudes, or previous radiation exposure.
Each type of skin cancer can look different, which is why it’s important to watch for new or changing spots, especially those with irregular borders, colors, or growth patterns. Early detection is key—when found and treated promptly, most skin cancers have a high cure rate. If you notice anything unusual, don’t wait to have it checked.
