Dermatology services

Dermatology services offered by Dr. Yoho (note, we do not accept insurance payments):

We commonly treat skin conditions in our office, including:

  1. Acne including mature acne (rosacea) and young persons' acne. New creams and pills make most acne very treatable. We use Accutane®, a strong acne medicine, if necessary.
  2. Warts can be treated using prescription medicines or simple surgery.
  3. Various skin growths, cancerous (malignant) and benign (not cancer). Some need minor surgery, some need creams, and some aren't harmful and can be left alone. Some are pre-cancerous, such as "actinic keratoses".
  4. Spider veins of the nose, face, and rest of the body. These can be treated by injection or light electrical burning using anesthetic if desired.
  5. Brown spots, cancerous (malignant) and not cancerous.
  6. Skin cancer, such as basal cell cancers, squamous cell cancers, and melanomas. These need to be treated surgically and are often cured by the first treatment. But patients need to be watched for recurrence of the problem, and sometimes need care by other specialists.
  7. Correction of ingrown toenails, using Elman device. This is a minor surgical procedure that narrows the toenail and has very little post-operative pain in most cases. The vast majority of cases are cured permanently.
  8. Scar revision and improvement. If you have a scar you hate, we can likely improve it. Some scars of the face can be disguised very effectively by corrective surgery.

For any surgical procedure, we are happy to offer intravenous or nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") relaxation medicines. These are available here because we have a certified surgical center. This is not something that dermatologists routinely offer. The additional charges are modest, so don't be afraid to ask. Our patients usually drive home within a half hour of a brief procedure. And if you are having a cosmetic surgery and would like to add some minor skin surgery, again, be sure to let us know. This is economical if we are performing another procedure anyway.

Now that you are familiar with the skin treatments we offer, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Yoho today. If you are considering a dermatological treatment for your skin condition, Pasadena cosmetic surgeon Dr. Yoho would like to meet face to face with you and answer all your dermatology questions. And when you register online, your skin treatment consultation is free.
