GERIATRIC DERMATOLOGY NEAR PAPILLION

At MOD Dermatology, we understand that aging can bring about new challenges in maintaining skin health and appearance. For this reason, we provide comprehensive geriatric dermatology services in the Papillion area to cater to the unique skin care needs of older adults.

SKIN CANCER: EARLY DETECTION

Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are common types of skin cancer that often develop in older adults, particularly in sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck, and hands. Basal cell carcinoma grows slowly in the lower part of the epidermis, while squamous cell carcinoma occurs in the outer part of the epidermis and has the potential to spread to lymph nodes and internal organs. The geriatric dermatologists at MOD Dermatology near Papillion offer early detection and treatment through comprehensive skin cancer screenings.

• Our experienced dermatologists perform full-body skin examinations to detect early signs of skin cancer.

• We use advanced diagnostic tools, including dermoscopy, for a detailed examination of suspicious lesions.

• Biopsies and pathology services are provided for a definitive diagnosis.

Our geriatric dermatologists near Papillion recommend regular skin cancer screenings, particularly for individuals with fair skin or a family history of skin cancer. These recommendations are even more crucial for those who have had significant sun exposure. It is well-known that early detection of skin cancer can greatly enhance treatment outcomes and significantly reduce the risk of serious complications and the spread of the disease.

TREATING AGE SPOTS, LIVER SPOTS, AND MORE

Age spots, also known as sun spots or liver spots, are a common skin concern for seniors. While not harmful, they can be bothersome. MOD Dermatology offers geriatric dermatology services with effective age spot treatment near Papillion, such as:
