A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions related to the skin, hair, and nails. Led by Richard Krathen, MD, FAAD, FACMS, a board-certified Dermatologist, board-certified Micrographic Dermatologic Surgeon, and fellowship-trained Mohs Surgeon, Florida Dermatology Specialists provides a comprehensive range of treatments, focused on delivering individualized care.

Medical dermatology involves diagnosing and treating various medical conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails. Treatments are designed to manage or cure conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin disorders. These services are typically performed by our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Richard Krathen, and the rest of our expert staff.

Medical dermatology treatments can address a wide range of conditions, including: Acne: Treatments for acne may include topical or oral medications, light therapy, or other interventions. Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Management typically involves moisturizers, topical steroids, and avoiding irritants. Psoriasis: Treatments may include topical treatments, phototherapy, and systemic medications. Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating): Options may include prescription antiperspirants, systemic medications, or Botox injections. Other Conditions: This can include skin infections, warts, rosacea, and more.

The duration of treatments varies depending on the condition and its severity. Some treatments may be completed in a single visit, while others may require multiple sessions over several weeks or months. Your dermatologist will provide an estimated timeline based on your specific treatment plan.
