Medical Concerns In Wappingers Falls, NY & Danbury, CT
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting people of all ages. It often causes redness, inflammation, and sometimes scarring, which can take a toll on one’s confidence.
At Tania Cohen Dermatology in Wappingers Falls, NY, and Danbury, CT, patients receive personalized treatment plans designed to clear existing breakouts and prevent new ones from occurring. Depending on your skin needs, treatment may include Hydrafacials, chemical peels, RF microneedling, BBL FOREVER CLEAR light therapy, or prescription-grade skincare. For more stubborn acne or scarring, treatments like Halo Laser, PiXel8 RF, or even PRP
Allergic contact dermatitis occurs when the skin reacts to something it sees as an irritant or allergen. This often leads to redness, itching, and uncomfortable rashes.
Tania Cohen, Dermatology patients can expect investigative treatment plans involving patch testing to uncover the underlying allergen. We will also counsel you on allergen avoidance. Our team also works with patients to identify and avoid triggers, thereby reducing the frequency of flare-ups.
Birthmarks and skin pigmentation disorders are prevalent conditions that affect a significant number of individuals worldwide. These conditions encompass a range of abnormalities, including pigmented birthmarks, hemangiomas, port wine stains, and macular stains, as well as skin pigment disorders like albinism, melasma, vitiligo, and loss of skin pigmentation due to trauma. Birthmarks vary widely in appearance and can sometimes cause cosmetic or emotional concerns.
Treatment
Most birthmarks are harmless and do not pose a threat to health. Many birthmarks will naturally fade or disappear over time. However, it is important to note that some types of birthmarks can increase the risk of developing skin cancer. If a birthmark exhibits concerning symptoms such as bleeding, pain, itching, infection, or changes in size, color, border shape, or thickness, it may be necessary to consider birthmark removal. Removal may be performed for both medical and aesthetic reasons.
Patients can receive professional evaluation and treatment options for birthmarks, like Sciton lasers, BBL HERO, Alexandrite Laser, and Yag Laser. Tania Cohen Dermatology specializes in various dermatological procedures, including skin cancer surgery and excision surgery for problematic skin growths and birthmarks. Tania Cohen works closely with each patient to determine whether treatment is necessary and, if so, to choose the most effective approach for safe and natural-looking results. Dermatologists can often diagnose birthmarks based on their appearance, but in some cases, a skin biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis.
If you have concerns about a birthmark or require removal, it is recommended to consult with a dermatologist or healthcare professional. They can provide a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and discuss appropriate treatment options based on your specific situation.
Herpes simplex is a common viral infection. In fact, if you’ve ever had a cold sore or fever blister, you picked up the herpes simplex virus. Most cold sores are caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Cold sores caused by HSV-1 are also called oral herpes, mouth herpes, or herpes simplex labialis. Caused by the herpes simplex virus, cold sores are small blisters that usually appear around the lips and mouth. They can be painful, contagious, and often return in cycles.
After clearing, herpes simplex sores can return; the outbreak tends to be milder than the first outbreak. A closely related herpes simplex virus, HSV-2, causes most cases of genital herpes. But either HSV-1 or HSV-2 can cause a herpes sore on the face or genitals. If you have HSV-1, a bad sunburn can trigger a herpes simplex outbreak. Many people who get the virus that causes herpes never see or feel anything. However, you may experience tingling, itching, or burning for a day or so before one or more painful, fluid-filled blisters may appear. Blisters break open and often ooze fluid and form a crust before healing.
Treatment
There is no cure for herpes simplex—the sores often clear without treatment. Many people choose to treat it, though, because treatment can relieve symptoms and shorten an outbreak. Tania Cohen Dermatology can prescribe medications to treat this condition and help alleviate discomfort. We offer our patients treatments that will help shorten the duration of their outbreaks and reduce the frequency of recurrences. Options include antiviral medications and treatments to help shorten the number of outbreaks and reduce recurrence. Light-based therapies, such as laser skin rejuvenation, may also help speed up healing and prevent future flare-ups.
A cyst is an abnormal pocket of fluid, like a blister, that can form in many different areas of the body, including the skin, genitals, and internal organs. A cyst is one of the most serious types of pimples. When blocked pores get irritated, they may form cysts, which can become filled with a whitish-yellow liquid called pus, sometimes causing pain. Infections, tumors, parasites, and injuries can cause cysts. Cysts are usually noncancerous. Cysts are small, fluid-filled sacs under the skin that can become painful or infected. While many are harmless, removal may be recommended if they continue to grow or cause irritation.
A cyst will not heal until it’s lanced and drained or surgically excised by a physician. Without treatment, cysts will eventually rupture and partially drain.
Treatment
Simple incision – a minor surgical procedure that involves the removal of a benign or malignant growth such as an atypical mole, cyst, or skin cancer under local anesthesia.
Incision and drainage – a procedure commonly used to treat an abscess or cyst.
At Tania Cohen Dermatology, cysts can be treated safely in-office with simple removal procedures under local anesthesia. For some patients, advanced options like electrodessication or laser excision may be recommended to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Dermatofibromas, those tiny benign skin growths, have the ability to sprout up anywhere on the body. However, they tend to favor the lower legs, upper arms, and upper back. These peculiar nodules are more commonly found in adults rather than children and can display a range of colors including pink, red, grey, or brown. Interestingly, their hues may even shift over time. When touched, they feel solid and can be likened to a stone hiding beneath the skin. If you dare to pinch them from the sides, you may notice a slight indentation on the top.
Dermatofibromas are firm, harmless skin growths that often appear on the arms or legs. While they are not dangerous, some patients find them bothersome, tender, or cosmetically undesirable. While dermatofibromas can occasionally cause tenderness and itching, they are typically painless and rarely exceed a half-inch in diameter. Usually, only one nodule will make an appearance, but on occasion, multiple nodules may arise simultaneously.
Treatment
Although treatment is seldom necessary, some individuals may opt for dermatology surgery to remove these growths if they find them unsightly, bothersome, or inconveniently located. Treatment may include removal through minor in-office surgery or laser therapy, using devices such as the Sciton Contour TRL Laser. Patients can also choose to monitor the growth if it’s small and not causing discomfort.
Eczema is a condition that makes your skin irritated and itchy. It often causes a rash that’s red, blistery, oozing, scaly, or brownish. There are several types of eczema, including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, nummular eczema, and dyshidrotic eczema. However, the most common is atopic dermatitis. Millions live with atopic dermatitis. In fact, one in 10 Americans has atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis is often called atopic eczema or simply eczema. It usually develops by age five, but people of all ages, from newborns to adults 65 years of age and older, live with this condition. Atopic dermatitis is not contagious. Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, causes itchy, red, and inflamed patches of skin.
Treatment
While atopic dermatitis cannot be cured, Tania Cohen Dermatology can offer an eczema treatment plan that can help control it:
Reduce flare-ups
Ease itching and pain
Prevent it from worsening
Lower your risk of infection
Lower your risk of developing thickened skin, which tends to itch
Depending on the severity, options may include topical prescriptions, soothing facials or Hydrafacials, and light therapy with BBL HERO. For more severe cases, advanced treatments such as RF microneedling with AnteAGE exosomes can help restore balance and comfort. Tania Cohen also helps patients identify and manage triggers so they can enjoy more consistent relief and healthier skin.
Folliculitis, a common skin condition, occurs when hair follicles become inflamed. The main culprits behind folliculitis are fungal and bacterial infections, although viruses, fungi, and ingrown hairs can also trigger it. Symptoms manifest as clusters of small red bumps or whitehead pimples around the affected follicles. These bumps may develop into pus-filled blisters that eventually crust over. In some cases, a large, swollen mass may form, accompanied by painful, itchy, or tender skin. Folliculitis happens when a hair follicle becomes inflamed and appears as a small red bump or pustule. This condition may be caused by bacteria, yeast, or friction from clothing or shaving.
Medical professionals categorize folliculitis into two types: superficial and deep. Superficial folliculitis includes bacterial folliculitis, pseudomonas folliculitis, pseudofolliculitis barbae, and pityrosporum folliculitis. On the other hand, deep folliculitis encompasses sycosis barbae, gram-negative folliculitis, boils and carbuncles, and eosinophilic folliculitis.
Treatment
Treatment options for folliculitis range from minor surgical procedures and laser hair removal to medications like creams or pills. These medications aim to control infection, combat fungal infections, and reduce inflammation. Tania Cohen Dermatology patients can receive treatment tailored to the underlying cause, including prescription topical or oral medications, antiseptic washes, and even laser hair removal to reduce irritation and prevent future breakouts. For chronic cases, advanced skin rejuvenation treatments may also help.
Fungal infections can occur anywhere in your body, but they typically begin on your skin. Most cause some discomfort, such as redness and intense itching. Ringworm is a common skin infection caused by a fungus. The rash often has a ring-shaped pattern and a raised, scaly border. While ringworm can appear on just about any part of your body, the rash lacks the ring-shaped pattern on the palms, soles, scalp, groin, and nails. Fungal infections may show up anywhere on the body and cause itching, redness, and discomfort. Conditions like athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm fall into this category.
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, ringworm is common. You’ve already had it if you had athlete’s foot, jock itch, or scalp ringworm. No matter where ringworm appears, treatment is important. Without it, the rash tends to grow slowly and cover a larger area. You can also infect other areas of your body, as well as other people, since ringworm is contagious.
Treatment
Treatment options may include prescription antifungal creams, oral medications, and guidance on prevention to stop the infection from spreading. For nail or skin involvement, options like laser therapy can also be considered.
Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can affect the scalp or the entire body. It can result from many different factors, including genetics, hormones, or autoimmune conditions.
We offer PRFM injections for hair restoration, PRP therapy, topical prescriptions, or advanced light and RF-based therapies to stimulate growth.
Hand rashes, also called hand eczema, can result from allergic reactions, exposure to irritants such as industrial chemicals, acids or cleaning fluids, and sunburn. More often, the irritant is milder and the problem starts out as dryness of the hands. Over-drying from frequent hand washing, soaps, cleaning agents, or even skin and personal care product ingredients can also cause hand rashes. Hand rashes are a common concern and may be caused by eczema, allergic reactions, irritants such as cleaning products, or even overexposure to the sun.
Hand rashes can include an allergic reaction, dry skin, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, hand, foot and mouth disease, dyshidrotic eczema, impetigo, and ringworm. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, hand eczema can cause:
Dry, chapped skin (often the first sign)
Patches of red or dark brown irritated skin
Scaly and inflamed skin that may itch
Burning sensation
Itchy blisters
Deep, painful cracks
Bleeding or weeping skin
Crusts, pus and pain
Treatment
Tania Cohen Dermatology can offer an eczema treatment plan that can help track down the cause of hand rash and alleviate it. Patients will receive an evaluation and personalized, targeted treatments to address both the symptoms and the cause. Options include prescription medications, over-the-counter recommendations, barrier treatments, and in-office procedures such as soothing Hydrafacials or Glacial RX therapy to calm redness and restore comfort.
Herpes
Herpes simplex is a common viral infection. In fact, if you’ve ever had a cold sore or fever blister, you picked up the herpes simplex virus. Most cold sores are caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Cold sores caused by HSV-1 are also called oral herpes, mouth herpes, or herpes simplex labialis. Herpes simplex is a viral infection that causes cold sores, also known as fever blisters, to form around the mouth. The virus will remain in the body and can cause recurrent outbreaks, often triggered by stress, illness, or sun exposure.
After clearing, herpes simplex sores can return; the outbreak tends to be milder than the first outbreak. A closely related herpes simplex virus, HSV-2, causes most cases of genital herpes. But either HSV-1 or HSV-2 can cause a herpes sore on the face or genitals. If you have HSV-1, a bad sunburn can trigger a herpes simplex outbreak. Many people who get the virus that causes herpes never see or feel anything. However, you may experience tingling, itching, or burning for a day or so before one or more painful, fluid-filled blisters may appear. Blisters break open and often ooze fluid and form a crust before healing.
Treatment
Our Wappingers Falls patients can receive prescription antivirals to reduce the severity and frequency of outbreaks. Preventive strategies may also be discussed for those who experience frequent flare-ups.
Hives are raised, itchy bumps that can appear on the skin when the body reacts to an allergen, stress, medication, or even temperature changes. They can be uncomfortable and sometimes alarming, but they are treatable.
At Tania Cohen Dermatology, we like to identify possible triggers and provide fast-acting relief through prescription medications or antihistamines. For patients with chronic hives, treatments to help reduce inflammation and provide long-term control.
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating—a person sweats more than necessary. While sweating cools the body, preventing us from overheating, people with hyperhidrosis sweat when the body doesn’t need cooling. Simply put, hyperhidrosis involves the hands, feet, underarms, and face, usually unrelated to temperature or exercise. Hyperhidrosis causes the body to sweat more than necessary, often affecting the hands, feet, underarms, and face. This can happen even when the body does not need cooling, creating embarrassment and discomfort in daily life.
Many people who have hyperhidrosis sweat from one or two areas of the body. While the rest of the body remains dry, one or two areas may drip with sweat. What causes hyperhidrosis? Certain nerves tell the body when to sweat. It’s possible that these nerves overreact, causing excessive sweating. Many medical conditions can cause excessive sweating. These include diabetes and gout. A tumor or injury also can cause excessive sweating. Rule of thumb: while it’s normal to sweat when you’re nervous or too hot, if you sweat for no apparent reason, you may have hyperhidrosis. But you’re not alone—about 3% of people in the U.S. have excessive sweating.
Treatment
Treatments may include BOTOX or Daxxify injections to reduce sweat production, prescription medications, and, in some cases, light or RF therapies for long-term relief.
Keloids are thick, raised scars that may appear after an injury, such as a piercing or after stitches. Months can pass before a keloid scar appears after the injury. Once it begins, a keloid tends to grow slowly for months or years. This slow growth differs greatly from another type of raised scar called a hypertrophic scar.
A hypertrophic scar appears one to two months after you wound your skin, and doesn’t grow beyond the wound. With time, a hypertrophic scar often becomes less noticeable. While keloids tend to develop slowly, some appear more quickly and don’t fade with time. Anyone can get a keloid, but Black people have the greatest risk of developing keloids. People of Asian, Latin American, or Mediterranean descent are also more likely to develop keloids than people who have a lighter skin tone. Keloids are thick, raised scars that can form after skin injuries like piercings, cuts, or stitches.
Treatment
To reduce the appearance of a keloid, Tania Cohen Dermatology offers medical skincare treatments that include steroid injections, topical creams, and cosmetic treatments. Our patients can also explore treatment options such as silicone therapy, cryotherapy, and laser treatments like Sciton ProFractional Laser to smooth the area. Minor surgical removal may also be recommended in some cases.
Lichen planus causes reddish-purple, flat-topped bumps that may itch or become irritated, commonly appearing on the arms, legs, or inside the mouth.
Depending on the severity, we may include topical prescriptions and oral medications to calm symptoms and restore clearer, more comfortable skin.
Melasma leads to brown or gray-brown patches, most often on the face. Sun exposure, hormonal changes, or pregnancy usually trigger it.
Treatment may include chemical peels, BBL HERO, Halo Laser, and prescription creams to fade pigmentation and create a more even skin tone gradually.
Moles are growths on the skin that can vary in size, color, and shape. While most of them are harmless, changes in a mole’s appearance can sometimes signal skin cancer.
At Tania Cohen Dermatology in Wappingers Falls, NY, and Danbury, CT, our patients receive expert mole evaluations to monitor for any concerning changes. When necessary, moles can be safely and comfortably removed in the office. Regular skin checks are encouraged to ensure peace of mind and long-term skin health.
Molluscum contagiosum is a prevalent skin condition caused by a viral infection that leads to the formation of painless, round, and firm bumps on the surface of the skin. These bumps can vary in size, ranging from as small as a pinhead to as large as a pencil eraser. If the affected area is scratched or itched, the infection can spread to the surrounding skin. Additionally, it can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or objects. Molluscum contagiosum is a skin infection that causes small, firm, dome-shaped bumps. Though often harmless, it can spread easily through skin-to-skin contact and may be bothersome or cosmetically concerning.
Although this infection is more commonly found in children, it can also affect adults. In children, the bumps typically appear on the face, neck, armpits, arms, and tops of the hands. However, in adults, especially if transmitted sexually, the bumps tend to appear on the genitals, lower abdomen, and inner thighs.
The duration of molluscum contagiosum varies, with most cases improving within six months to a year. However, in some instances, symptoms and signs may persist for up to five years.
Treatment
Treatment options for molluscum contagiosum include cryotherapy, scraping, topical prescriptions, the use of cantharidin, or laser removal to quickly and safely clear the bumps while preventing spread.
Nail conditions can include distortion and/or discoloration of the normal nail plate on the fingernails and toenails. Washboard nails appear as grooves and ridges in the center of your thumb; thin, spoon-shaped nails dip down in the middle and look like spoons; and pitted nails with dents look like they were made by an icepick. Nail conditions can cause discoloration, thickening, brittleness, or changes in nail shape.
Discoloration can include a new or changing dark streak, which could be melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer. However, not every dark streak is a melanoma. Nail fungus, an infection of the nail, can also cause discoloration. It begins as a white or yellow-brown spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail, and may include debris under the nail and thickening nails. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fungal nail infections are very common and may affect up to 14% of the U.S. population; fungal toenail infections are more common than fungal fingernail infections.
Treatment
Patients will benefit from a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause, but treatment may include prescription antifungal medications, topical therapies, or advanced laser treatments to restore healthier nails.
Neurofibromas, much like lipomas, are a common type of harmless nerve tumor that creates soft lumps on or beneath the skin. These growths can develop in any major or minor nerve throughout the body and may originate from various nerve bundles, known as plexiform neurofibromas. Typically, individuals diagnosed with neurofibromas experience mild or no symptoms. However, if the tumor puts pressure on or grows within the nerves, pain or numbness in the affected area may occur. Neurofibromas are soft, benign nerve tumors that can appear on or beneath the skin. While many remain harmless and symptom-free, larger or bothersome ones may require treatment.
Treatment
For a solitary neurofibroma that does not cause any symptoms or is smaller than an inch in diameter, it is often recommended to simply observe the tumor. Treatment for neurofibromas usually involves a combination of monitoring and surgical removal. The specific type of surgery performed depends on the tumor’s location, size, and whether it is intertwined with multiple nerves. The primary objective of the surgical procedure is to successfully eliminate the tumor while avoiding any damage to the nerves. At Tania Cohen Dermatology, patients can expect a careful evaluation and a discussion of treatment options, which may include surgical excision or laser therapy, depending on the growth’s size and location.
Poison ivy exposure can lead to an allergic reaction in some people’s skin. This is caused by urushiol, an oil found in the plant’s leaves. Symptoms of exposure include redness, swelling, itching, and blisters.
We treat poison ivy exposure with soothing topical creams, oral medications for severe reactions, and strategies to promote faster healing. Tania also educates patients on prevention methods to help avoid future outbreaks.
Psoriasis is a condition where the body produces skin cells too quickly. This causes thick, scaly, red patches known as plaques on the skin. These patches can cause itching, discomfort, and self-consciousness.
At Tania Cohen Dermatology in Wappingers Falls NY, treatment is tailored to each patient and may include topical prescriptions, light therapies, and advanced options like RF microneedling with exosomes to improve skin texture and comfort.
Rosacea causes facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. Triggers may include sun exposure, stress, spicy foods, or alcohol.
At Tania Cohen Dermatology in Wappingers Falls and Danbury, treatment focuses on controlling flare-ups and calming irritation with BBL HERO, Halo Laser, and prescription topical or oral therapies.
Scars form due to the body’s natural healing process after an injury, surgery, or severe acne. While many will fade over time, some will remain and look raised or discolored.
Patients can explore treatments such as RF microneedling, Halo Laser, Profractional Laser, chemical peels, and PRP or exosome therapy to improve the texture and appearance of scars.
Scabies is a contagious, itchy skin condition caused by a tiny mite. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 200 million people at any time and more than 400 million people worldwide get scabies each year. The mite—called the human itch mite—is an eight-legged bug that’s so small that you can’t see it on the skin. When the mite burrows into the top layer of skin to live and feed, an extremely itchy rash develops. The mite can travel from the infected person to another person. Most people get scabies from direct, skin-to-skin contact. People can also pick up mites from infested items such as bedding, clothes, and furniture. Anyone can get scabies, even if you’re very clean and neat. Scabies is a contagious skin condition where tiny mites burrow into the skin. This causes intense itching and a pimple-like rash. It spreads easily through close physical contact.
Symptoms
The symptoms of scabies include:
Itching, mainly at night: The itch can be so intense that it keeps a person awake at night
Rash: This rash causes little bumps that often form a line. The bumps can look like hives, tiny bites, knots under the skin, or pimples. Some people develop scaly patches that look like eczema
Sores: Scratching the itchy rash can cause sores. An infection can develop in the sores
Thick crusts on the skin: Crusts form when a person develops a severe type of scabies called crusted scabies. With so many mites burrowing in the skin, the rash and itch become severe
Treatment
At Tania Cohen Dermatology, diagnosis is confirmed quickly, and treatment usually includes prescription creams or oral medications to eliminate the mites.
A sebaceous cyst, also known as a skin cyst, is a growth beneath the skin that resembles a closed capsule. It is typically filled with liquid or semisolid substances, similar to a blister on the skin. These cysts can occur when oil glands or hair follicles in the skin become blocked or swollen, and there may also be a genetic component to their development. The main symptom of a skin cyst is a painless lump under the skin, which can become inflamed and tender. Sebaceous cysts are slow-growing, noncancerous bumps that form under the skin when oil-producing glands become blocked. While often painless, they can become irritated, infected, or bothersome.
Fortunately, sebaceous cysts are usually harmless and can be left untreated. However, if a small cyst becomes inflamed or a larger cyst causes discomfort, pain, or hair loss, it may be necessary to seek treatment to alleviate the symptoms.
Treatment
In our Wappingers Falls and Danbury offices, treatment may involve safe in-office removal through minor surgery when needed. Patients receive personalized care to restore comfort and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Sebaceous hyperplasia appears as small, yellowish bumps on the skin, often on the forehead or cheeks, caused by overactive oil glands. While harmless, they may be bothersome cosmetically.
We offer treatment options, including BBL HERO, laser therapy, or in-office procedures, to flatten the bumps and create a smoother skin appearance.
Shingles is a painful rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. It often presents as a band or patch of blisters and a burning or tingling sensation.
At Tania Cohen Dermatology in Wappingers Falls and Danbury, treatment focuses on antiviral medications to shorten the outbreak and minimize discomfort. Light therapy and soothing skincare may also be recommended to reduce irritation and help prevent lingering nerve pain.
Tinea versicolor is a fungal skin infection that causes patches of skin to become lighter or darker than the surrounding areas. It often appears on the chest, back, or shoulders and may worsen in warm, humid weather.
Here at Tania Cohen Dermatology, treatment may include topical antifungal creams or oral medications to restore an even skin tone. Preventive strategies can also help reduce recurrences.
Fungi (the plural of fungus) are tiny, microscopic organisms that cause a fungal nail infection. Nail fungus is a common infection of the nail that begins as a white or yellow-brown spot under the tip of the fingernail or toenail. As the fungal infection goes deeper, the nail may discolor, thicken, and crumble at the edge. Nail fungus can affect several nails. Toenail fungus will cause the nails to become thickened, brittle, and discolored.
How do you pick up the fungi? Often, it’s through skin-to-skin contact with someone who has a fungal infection, or by walking barefoot in a warm, moist area such as a pool deck or locker room. You can even get a fungal nail infection by sharing an infected nail clipper or towel. You can also get it if your nails are frequently moist or you often wear sweaty socks and shoes.
When fungus infects the areas between your toes and the skin of your feet, it’s called athlete’s foot (tinea pedis). Athlete’s foot commonly occurs in people whose feet have become very sweaty, while within tight-fitting shoes. Symptoms of athlete’s foot include a scaly rash that usually causes itching, stinging, and burning.
Treatment
Treatment is customized to the severity of the infection and may include prescription oral medications, topical treatments, or, in some cases, advanced laser therapy. With consistent care, healthy nail growth can be restored over time.
Vitiligo causes patches of an individual’s skin to lose pigment. This results in lighter or white areas on the body.
At Tania Cohen Dermatology, we offer our clients treatment options for vitiligo, including topical medications, BBL HERO, and targeted light therapy, to help encourage repigmentation and balance skin tone.
