Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and changes in its color, texture, or comfort can signal anything from a harmless growth to a condition that needs prompt attention. Our providers take the time to identify exactly what is happening and explain your options clearly. Select a condition below to learn about its symptoms, causes, and the treatments available at HK Dermatology.
Skin Cancer and Precancerous Conditions
- Actinic Keratosis – Rough, scaly, precancerous patches caused by sun damage.
- Basal Cell Carcinoma – The most common skin cancer, often appearing as a pearly bump or non-healing sore.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma – A common skin cancer that may look like a scaly patch, firm bump, or recurring sore.
- Melanoma – The most serious type of skin cancer, highly treatable when found early.
Inflammatory and Reactive Skin Conditions
- Rosacea – Chronic facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and acne-like bumps.
- Hives (Urticaria) – Itchy, raised welts that may come and go suddenly.
Growths, Scars, Sweat, and Hair Concerns
- Seborrheic Keratosis – Benign, waxy, “stuck-on” growths that commonly appear with age.

Medical Dermatology Services
We also provide dedicated treatment for many common skin concerns through our medical dermatology services, including acne treatment, eczema treatment, psoriasis treatment, melasma treatment, rash treatment, scabies treatment, shingles treatment, wart removal, and mole evaluation and removal.

Your First Step: A Professional Skin Exam
Many skin conditions look alike. A rash may be eczema, psoriasis, or an allergic reaction, and a dark spot may be a harmless growth or an early skin cancer. A full-body skin exam at your first visit gives our team a complete picture of your skin health and helps catch concerns early. Prepare for your appointment on our new patient page and review the insurance plans we accept.
Skin Conditions FAQs
What skin conditions does HK Dermatology treat?
HK Dermatology treats a wide range of skin, hair, and nail conditions, including skin cancer, actinic keratosis, rosacea, hives, keloids, hyperhidrosis, hair loss, seborrheic keratosis, acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, warts, and more.
How do I know if a skin spot is cancerous?
Watch for spots that are new, changing, bleeding, or not healing, and moles that follow the ABCDE warning signs. Only a professional exam and, if needed, a biopsy can confirm whether a spot is cancerous.
Do I need a referral to be seen for a skin condition?
Some insurance plans, particularly HMOs, require a referral. Check with your insurer or call our office at (949) 248-1632 for help.
Are skin conditions treated covered by insurance?
Medically necessary diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions is typically covered by insurance. Cosmetic treatments generally are not. See our insurance page for the main plans we accept.
Can chronic skin conditions be cured?
Some conditions, such as many skin cancers and warts, can be cleared completely. Others, like rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema, are chronic but can be controlled very effectively with the right treatment plan.
How often should I see a dermatologist?
Most adults benefit from an annual skin exam. Patients with chronic conditions or a history of skin cancer may need more frequent visits.
