A dermatologist is a doctor specializing in skin, hair and nails issues. From cancer screening and treatment to allergies, inflammatory problems and other skin conditions, there are many reasons you might seek dermatological care. If you are looking for a “medical dermatologist near me,” contact the Center for Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery in Washington, DC, today. Dr. Cheryl Burgess is a board-certified dermatologist who offers medical dermatology services to treat skin issues, as well as full range of cosmetic enhancements for your skin. 

When should you see a dermatologist?

As you age, your skin is slower to regenerate, leaving it more prone to dryness and other issues that can lead to itchy skin and rash. Older adults are more prone to nail fungus, shingles, seborrheic dermatitis and other conditions that can range from uncomfortable to painful. Additionally, years of sun exposure greatly increases your risk of skin cancer. Nearly 50 percent of people over the age of 65 develop some form of skin cancer, but if it is caught early enough, it can be treated with a simple surgery that leaves minimal scarring. 

If you have skin issues or find spots on your skin that may be cancerous, you can schedule an appointment at the Center for Dermatology and Dermatological Surgery for help. Dr. Burgess can diagnose skin issues and form a treatment plan that finds you relief. She has years of experience treating patients with issues such as:

• Acne
• Vitiligo
• Rosacea
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Hyperhidrosis

Restore your skin with cosmetic treatments
