Comprehensive Dermatology Services for Every Stage

At PT Family Medicine, we take a comprehensive approach to skin health. Our dermatology services are designed to meet the needs of every patient, from children and teens to adults and seniors. We understand that skin concerns are unique and can range from harmless cosmetic issues to conditions requiring urgent attention. Our team is here to support you with attentive, evidence-based care.

Some of the key dermatological services we offer include:

  • Skin Evaluations and Annual Screenings: Regular skin evaluations are the foundation of good dermatologic health. We take a detailed look at your skin to identify moles, lesions, rashes, or changes that may indicate underlying issues. We recommend annual skin checks, especially for those at an increased risk of skin cancer.
  • Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention: Early detection is vital for the successful treatment of skin cancer. Our practice utilizes thorough visual examinations and advanced tools like the DermaSensor™ device to evaluate questionable lesions quickly and painlessly. If any abnormal findings are detected, we provide expert guidance on further diagnostics and treatment.
  • DermaSensor™ Technology: PT Family Medicine is proud to offer DermaSensor, a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared device that aids in the evaluation of suspicious skin lesions. Using light-based technology, DermaSensor enables us to gather more information about a spot’s risk for skin cancer, supporting earlier detection and peace of mind.
  • Skin Tag and Benign Lesion Removal: Skin tags and benign lesions are common and often bothersome, but can be safely removed in-office with minimal discomfort and downtime. We offer simple, effective procedures for cosmetic improvement and relief from irritation.
  • Chronic and Acute Skin Condition Management: From eczema, psoriasis, and acne to sudden rashes or unexplained skin changes, we provide diagnosis, management, and follow-up for a range of conditions, with an emphasis on education and long-term prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of skin concerns can PT Family Medicine address? 

PT Family Medicine evaluates and treats a broad range of skin conditions, including suspicious moles, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, acne, and benign growths like skin tags. We also offer skin cancer screenings and use technology like DermaSensor to enhance early detection. Whether your concern is medical or cosmetic, our team is equipped to support your needs with personalized care.

Is the DermaSensor device safe, and how does it work? 

Yes, DermaSensor is FDA-cleared and completely non-invasive. The device uses harmless light waves to scan the molecular signature of skin lesions. This advanced technology provides your provider with additional information to help assess whether a lesion may be at risk for skin cancer, so you can make informed decisions about next steps and treatment.

How are skin tags or benign lesions removed? Will it hurt?  

Skin tag and benign lesion removal are quick, minor office procedures. After thoroughly cleansing and numbing the area, your provider will remove the tag or growth using approved techniques. Most patients report minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities shortly afterward. We always review aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
