Dermatology- George Georgiev, MD

Dr. Georgiev offers a wide variety of skincare treatments and procedures. Here are a few of the services he provides:

Acne

Acne is often seen as a condition of adolescents. Indeed, blemishes do usually first appear during puberty, when hormone production fluctuates and oil production in the sebaceous glands goes into overdrive. Driven by genetics as well as hormones, acne is a problem typical of, but not limited to, teenagers. Adults can also experience mild to severe blemishes up into middle age, as the sebaceous glands get clogged with dirt. Mild blemishes can include whiteheads or blackheads. Both whiteheads and blackheads can enlarge the affected pore, and lead to the development of visible pitting in the skin. Blemishes may become more severe as bacteria on the skin interact with existing oil to increase irritation and inflammation, causing pustules or cysts.

Rosacea

Chronic redness and swelling of facial skin is an effect of rosacea, a condition that currently affects up to 14 million Americans, most of whom are aged 30 to 50. A progressive skin condition, rosacea first develops as an increased tendency to blush or flush easily. Gradually, the center of the face looks flushed almost constantly, with this redness spreading out over time to affect the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin. The more severe rosacea becomes, the more persistent and visible reddening will be, to a point where what appears to be pimples or nodules may develop on the surface of the skin, or small blood vessels become visible. Rosacea responds to extreme temperatures, as well as emotional stress, sunlight, alcohol, spicy foods, hot beverages, and some skincare products.

Recognizing the Early Signs of Cancer

We do not like to think about the possibility of cancer, but early detection of skin cancer can lead to successful treatment. Actinic Keratosis, or AK, is a condition that typically comes from sun damage. Affected skin may appear as a crusty, scaly bump, red, pink, tan, or flesh-toned. AK lesions may also look flat or raised, rough in texture or solid, and may range in size from as small as one millimeter to as much as two centimeters. Lesions that feel rough, and itch periodically, or develop tenderness or a prickly sensation are a sign of AK.

Moles

Most of the time, moles are non-cancerous lesions. Dermatologists recommend getting to know your specific type of moles by examining your skin on a monthly basis. In doing so, any changes can be quickly noticed and further assessed by a professional. Changes in size unrelated to puberty or pregnancy should be evaluated, as should change in color, shape, or texture. Should a mole become itchy, painful, or bleed, a professional examination should be scheduled.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a persistent disease of the skin that typically develops on the scalp, elbows, lower back, and knees, where patches of skin become thickened and red with inflammation, and can develop silvery scales. These scales, called plaques, may become intensely itchy and sore, to a point where they impede one’s ability to sleep, walk, or perform daily activities comfortably.
