What Is Medical Dermatology?
Medical dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails. From common concerns like acne and eczema to serious conditions like skin cancer, a board-certified dermatologist provides the targeted care your skin needs to stay healthy and comfortable.
Conditions We Treat
At Benstock Dermatology, we address a range of medical skin conditions, including the following.
Skin Cancer
Early detection saves lives. Benstock Dermatology evaluates suspicious lesions, performs biopsies, and treats many forms of non-melanoma skin cancer in-office, coordinating advanced care when needed.
Full Body Skin Screening
An annual head-to-toe exam is one of the most powerful tools for catching skin cancer early, especially for sun-damaged skin.
Acne
From teens to adults, we create customized acne plans that may include topicals, oral medications, and lifestyle guidance to clear breakouts and prevent scarring.
Psoriasis
Relief is possible with modern therapies, including topicals, light treatments, and systemic options tailored to the severity of your condition.
Eczema
We help calm itching, redness, and flare-ups so you and your children can sleep, work, and play comfortably again.
Rashes
Persistent or sudden rashes are evaluated with a thorough exam and diagnostic testing to identify the cause and the right treatment.
Warts
Effective in-office removal options help eliminate warts on the hands, feet, and body.
Hair Loss
Thinning hair has many causes. We investigate the root issue and recommend evidence-based treatments to restore growth and confidence.
Dandruff
Chronic flaking is more than a cosmetic issue, and we treat the underlying scalp condition for lasting relief.
Cysts & Lipomas
Bothersome lumps under the skin can be evaluated and surgically removed in the office when appropriate.
Molluscum Contagiosum
This common viral skin condition in children is treated gently and effectively to prevent spread.

Dark spots from the sun, acne, or hormones can be improved with targeted medical and cosmetic therapies.
