Skin Conditions We Treat
Our comprehensive medical dermatology practice addresses a wide range of conditions affecting patients of all ages:
Expert Medical Dermatology Care
Dr. Zitelli’s approach to medical dermatology emphasizes thorough evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. As a board-certified dermatologist with extensive training in both common and complex skin conditions, she understands that effective treatment begins with proper identification of the underlying cause and contributing factors.
Research shows that skin diseases can result in psychosocial effects comparable to arthritis and other disabling illnesses, making expert care essential for optimal outcomes. With skin diseases accounting for approximately 12-36% of all conditions seen by primary care physicians, specialized dermatological expertise is crucial for proper management.
Comprehensive Treatment Approaches
Modern medical dermatology offers numerous evidence-based treatment options for skin conditions. Dr. Zitelli’s treatment philosophy emphasizes selecting the most appropriate therapy based on accurate diagnosis, disease severity, patient preferences, and individual response factors.
Treatment modalities include topical medications, systemic therapies, biologic treatments for inflammatory conditions, procedural interventions, and comprehensive skincare regimens to support treatment goals and prevent flare-ups.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
Accurate diagnosis forms the foundation of effective dermatological treatment. Dr. Zitelli utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic tools including dermoscopy, patch testing, bacterial and fungal cultures, and tissue biopsy with histopathological analysis when needed.
Chronic Disease Management and Prevention
Many skin conditions require ongoing management rather than one-time treatment. Dr. Zitelli excels in developing long-term care plans for chronic conditions while emphasizing preventive care including regular skin cancer screening, early identification of precancerous lesions, and education about sun protection and proper skincare.
