It’s not unusual for nails to change over time. While many of those changes aren’t a cause for concern, it’s always a good idea to have it checked out by your local Desert Ridge dermatologist. Fortunately, nail conditions are often easy to diagnose and treat if you get an early start. While minor nail disorders can simply affect the appearance of your fingernails, untreated nail conditions can impact the function and overall nail health.  What are Nail Disorders? Let's kick this off by discussing what classifies a condition as a nail disorder . Essentially, nail disorders describe various conditions that impact the look and function of fingernails and toenails. Interestingly, your nails can tell a person a lot about their general health. If you notice any changes in your nails' look, texture, or strength, you should certainly discuss that with your dermatologist.

The most common type of cancer in the country is skin cancer, and melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. In general, melanoma arises from mutations of skin cell DNA in the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). The spread of these mutations to adjacent cells, particularly when uncontrolled and rapid, raises the risk of a malignancy. Melanoma develops when mutations occur in melanocytes, which are skin cells located in the bottom layer of the epidermis. Melanomas frequently form in areas that don’t get much sun exposure, and often start out as a mole, a large brown spot, or an irregular lesion. If you’ve been diagnosed with melanoma, the following treatment options are very effective: topical medications, Mohs micrographic surgery, and surgical excision procedure. We understand how a diagnosis of melanoma can impact your life.

If you’re like many people, you may think that a double chin only affects overweight people and that it can be eliminated with conventional fat loss methods. However, a double chin can develop even if you are in good shape and keep an ideal weight. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable designed specifically to destroy fat cells in a saggy chin. It consists of synthetic deoxycholic acid, which naturally and easily breaks down and absorbs fat. It’s a minimally-invasive way to eliminate a double chin that does not disappear due to exercise, diet, or regular fat-loss methods. One treatment session with our skillful practitioners takes a half hour, and depending on your aesthetic goals, you may need two to four sessions every 4-6 weeks. Another benefit of Kybella is that the destroyed fat cells will no longer store or accrue fat; it’s a permanent solution that other options cannot duplicate.
