Welcome to the dermatology section of Assension Health. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn acne, itchy eczema, or just want to understand how a new cream works, you’ve landed in the right spot. We keep the language simple, the facts solid, and the advice practical so you can act fast.
Our condition library includes the most common and tricky skin problems. Each page breaks down symptoms, triggers, and everyday steps you can take. Looking up acne shows you why hormones flare up, which over‑the‑counter washes actually help, and when a prescription might be needed. For psoriasis, we list triggers like stress or cold weather and give you a clear plan for moisturizers, light therapy, and drug options.
We also cover less talked‑about issues such as rosacea, vitiligo, and fungal infections. Every article includes a short FAQ that answers the most pressing questions you might have, like “Can I wear makeup with rosacea?” or “How long does it take for vitiligo patches to lighten with treatment?”
Understanding a prescription can feel like decoding a secret code. That’s why each drug page spells out the purpose, usual dose, how to apply or take it, and the side effects you should watch for. Need to know about topical steroids? We tell you the strength categories, how long it’s safe to use, and tips to avoid thinning skin.
Or maybe you’re curious about oral meds like isotretinoin, antihistamines, or antibiotics used for skin infections. We give you the basics: why a doctor might choose one over another, typical treatment timelines, and red‑flag signs that require a doctor’s call.
Supplements get a dedicated space, too. From zinc and vitamin D for acne control to omega‑3s for eczema relief, we explain the science behind each ingredient, recommended daily amounts, and whether the supplement interacts with common skin meds.
All medication guides are reviewed by pharmacists, so you get reliable safety tips without the medical jargon.
Beyond conditions and drugs, we keep you updated with the latest dermatology news. If a new biologic gets FDA approval or a study shows a surprising benefit of a natural oil, you’ll see a short, plain‑language summary right here.
Finding what you need is easy. Use the search bar at the top, filter by condition or drug class, or browse the sidebar for “Most Popular” and “New Articles.” Each page ends with a quick checklist you can print or save to your phone – think of it as a pocket guide for doctor visits or pharmacy trips.
We know skin health is personal, and the right information can make a huge difference. That’s why every article links to related topics, so you can explore causes, treatments, and lifestyle tweaks without leaving the site.
Got a question that isn’t answered? Our comment box lets you ask a follow‑up, and a pharmacist or dermatologist in our team will get back to you within 48 hours.
