Acne Treatment
Cyst
Eczema
Eczema affects babies, children and adults and is characterized by dry, red, and itchy skin. There are typically three triggers for eczema. Eczema can be either genetic, an allergic reaction, or can be caused by a specific irritant. Genetic or hereditary forms of eczema typically do not have a specific trigger and can result in flare-ups and problems throughout a patient’s life with no immediate stimulus. Some individuals develop eczema due to an allergic reaction to a metal or some other allergen that has come in contact with their skin. Others may find that a specific irritant has caused the issue, such as a new laundry detergent, skin care product, or changes in temperature and humidity.
Lesions
Regular screening by a dermatologist can identify these lesions when they are most curable. Dr. Westley performs a very thorough skin examination and mapping and has many years of experience in performing skin biopsies if necessary as well as removals of precancerous and cancerous lesions.
Chemical Peels
Today’s teens and adults are fortunate to have a number of acne-fighting weapons available to them. There are multiple well-tolerated topical agents that control breakouts and help with scars as well as a host of oral medications for more severe acne. Chemical peels as well as laser treatments are also used to treat the causes of acne, as well as to remediate scarring.
Skin Care
If you have more than mild acne, or if your breakouts don’t respond quickly to over-the-counter medications, get the situation under control quickly with the aid of your dermatologist. Dr. Westley will examine your skin and ask questions about your lifestyle, daily routine, and the severity of your breakouts. She will design an appropriate treatment and skin care program to manage your acne.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis can show up anywhere—on the eyelids, ears, mouth and lips, skin folds, hands and feet, and nails. The skin at each of these sites is different and requires different treatments.

Allergies
During a consultation with Dr. Westley, she will help determine the cause of eczema. Allergy testing can be done to narrow down the source of the problem. She will also recommend a skin care routine to help ease the symptoms and prevent flare-ups in the future. Prescription topical agents for both short-term use as well as long-term use can also be added.
