Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer. It generally looks like a pink or red shiny or scaly spot that tends to bleed and crust over but never heal. It is usually slow growing and generally does not spread to other areas of the body. However, BCC can extend below the skin to the bone and nerves, causing considerable local damage. It is usually not a life-threatening form of skin cancer.

Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common skin cancer. It may appear as a bump or as a red scaly patch. SCC can develop into large masses and become invasive. Unlike BCC, this form of cancer can spread to other parts of the body. Therefore, it is important to get early treatment.

When found and treated properly, the cure rate for both BCC and SCC is over 95%. Depending on the type of BCC/SCC, the location, and the size, there are several treatment options available. For skin cancers of the head and neck, the most effective therapy is Mohs surgery. Dr. Eivins specializes in this type of treatment. At The Dermatology Center of Steamboat Springs, our providers are dedicated to diagnosing and treating skin cancer. We also encourage regular skin checks to carefully monitor any skin changes.

Eczema is a group of common skin conditions that affects up to one out of every ten people at some point in their lives, and tends to be especially common in infants and young children. These conditions often develop as a result of an immune system or allergic reaction, and involve irritation and inflammation of the skin on the face, neck, hands, ankles or anywhere else on the body.

There are several different types of eczema, but the most common is atopic dermatitis, which is an often chronic condition that is inherited as a result of certain allergic conditions such as asthma or hay fever. Patients with this condition usually have itchy skin and red rashes on the skin that most often occur during “flare-ups”. These symptoms can vary greatly depending on the type and severity of the condition, as well as the patient’s individual health. If you are experiencing signs of eczema, you should see a doctor in order to confirm the diagnosis and receive proper treatment to relieve symptoms.

Rosacea is a common, chronic skin condition that affects over 14 million Americans, many of whom are unaware that they have the condition. Rosacea appears on the skin of the face as areas of redness and small, pus-filled bumps similar to acne, and can affect a patient’s confidence and self-esteem as a result. Although rosacea is a chronic condition that cannot be cured, there are several treatments available to relieve symptoms and prevent flare ups, allowing patients to avoid embarrassment from the appearance of their skin. The most effective treatment for rosacea depends on each patient’s individual case, but usually includes a combination of prescription treatment and life changes.

Warts are benign tumors that commonly involve the skin and other epithelial tissues. The etiologic agents for these infections are a class of double-stranded DNA viruses called papillomaviruses. Warts are generally classified by their clinical features and morphology (e.g., common, flat, filiform) or by location (e.g., genital, plantar, respiratory papillomatosis).

Warts are a common condition that develops on different areas of the body as a result of infection by a type of human papillomavirus (HPV). There are several different types of warts, which may have a different appearance and tend to occur in different areas. In general, warts tend to appear on warm, moist parts of the body, such as the hands, feet knees and elbows.

Although they can affect anyone, warts are most common in children and young adults, as they are passed through direct contact with an infected area. Warts often appear as small skin growths that may be flat or slightly raised, and can be brown, gray, pink or skin-colored. One of our providers can diagnose warts through a simple physical exam.

Moles are composed of a grouping of cells called melanocytes. They develop from birth up until about your fifth decade of life. Healthy moles are typically less than ¼ inch in size, exhibit uniform color and symmetry. We recommend full skin exams to examine your body for any atypical moles. If you see a mole which is asymmetrical, has an irregular border, variation in color, diameter bigger than a pencil eraser and has been evolving over time, bleeds or is itchy please come into our office for evaluation as soon as possible. Skin cancer caught early is highly curable.

Actinic keratoses or AKs are precancerous lesions as a result of UV radiation. They are usually red, scaly growths that do not heal on areas of the body frequently exposed to the sun such as the face, ears, scalp, neck, hands, arms and lower legs. ⅕ of these growths are thought to potentially develop into Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Therefore, having routine skin checks to treat these precancerous lesions is essential.Various forms of treatments exist such as cryotherapy, topical creams and photodynamic therapy.

Each day it is normal to lose 100 hairs per day. If you are experiencing more hair loss than normal it is necessary to have an evaluation by a provider to determine whether your hair loss is genetic, hormonally influenced, infectious, secondary to a nutritional deficit or from an overactive immune system. PRP (platelet rich plasma) is one treatment option we offer in our clinic to regenerate hair growth. PRP works by lengthening your hair follicle’s growing phase and has virtually no side effects.
