Whether you’re a man or a woman, you may have noticed fine, little red veins on the nose, chin, or cheeks. These are telangiectasias or facial spider veins, and they appear on both men and women as a normal part of aging. They can also result from pregnancy, childbirth, birth control pills, estrogen-replacement therapy, sun damage, the skin condition called rosacea, or even corticosteroids. Although not usually a medical problem, telangiectasias can be an aesthetic one that make-up may not cover adequately.

Many people experience hair loss, especially as they age. There are many reasons why people lose hair. The age at which hair loss begins is often determined by genetics – if your parents lost hair early you might too. Other reasons for early or sudden hair loss include physical or emotional stress, reaction to medication, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid disease, low blood levels or overly aggressive hair care. Dermatologists are specialists in diseases of the hair, as well as skin, and can help diagnosis and treatment hair loss.

Acne Treatment
Eczema
Fungus
Athlete’s foot is a type of fungal infection affecting the skin on the feet. It is a common infection and may present as persistent dry scaling of the soles of the feet, or as moist peeling of the skin between the toes. Other times the fungus can cause redness, itching and even blisters. This fungus prefers a warm, moist environment in order to grow, so it is important to keep feet as dry as possible to prevent athlete’s foot. If an infection develops, it can be treated with topical antifungal medications, although if it infects the toenails, an oral prescription medication may be necessary.
Lesions
A = Asymmetry. Abnormal moles are asymmetrical B = Border. Abnormal moles have jagged or irregular border or edge. C = Color.
