Care That’s More Than Skin Deep: CMC Dermatology
Struggling with the frustration of acne?
Have you developed brittle nails and thin hair?
Or perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with skin cancer, and you need surgery to remove it.
We face different skin-related issues every decade of our lives. There are many factors that can play a key role in determining how your skin, hair, and nails will withstand the test of time, including genetics, sun exposure, hormones, and our environments, just to name a few.
Our dermatology team focuses on the diagnosis, comprehensive care, and management of skin, scalp, hair, and nail conditions, and CMC dermatology services offer a variety of comprehensive treatments for these conditions.
What Do Dermatologists Do?
Dermatologists are physicians who specialize in conditions and diseases that affect skin, nails and hair. They treat conditions ranging from bacterial skin infections to cold sores.
Dermatologists are also instrumental in the early detection and treatment of skin cancer.
CMC Dermatology in Myrtle Beach: Skin Cancer Screenings and Prevention
Did you know that skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States? If you’ve had more than two blistering sunburns in your lifetime, then you’ve dramatically increased your risk for developing melanoma—an aggressive type of skin cancer.
The good news is that it’s possible to discover, diagnose and treat skin cancer early, when it’s at its most beatable stage. That’s why our dermatologists in Myrtle Beach and Horry County encourage you to have a regular skin cancer check once a year. You may need to be checked more often if you are at a greater risk of developing skin cancer.
We also want you to be proactive and be aware of new growths, spots or bumps on your skin. If you see anything that changes in size, shape or color, visit us at CMC Dermatology.
If you develop skin cancer, one of our CMC dermatologists in Horry County can remove the growth through sophisticated Mohs surgery.
Conditions Treated at CMC Dermatology
CMC Dermatology offers treatments to handle both common and complex skin conditions, including acne, bacterial skin infections, cold sores, eczema, psoriasis, scarring, skin cancer, and warts.
We’ll take a closer look at some of these conditions below.
This innovative procedure removes skin cancer while keeping healthy skin intact. During the surgery, thin layers of skin are cut away and then examined for skin cancer. This process repeats until the layer shows no sign of skin cancer. One of the advantages of Mohs surgery is that it dramatically decreases the chances that you’ll need additional treatments or more surgery.
