Comprehensive Medical Dermatology Services

Our Manhattan dermatology clinic offers a full spectrum of medical and cosmetic procedures designed to address your unique skin health needs. Whether you're dealing with a chronic skin condition, suspicious lesions, or seeking preventive care, our experienced team provides personalized treatment plans.

Advanced Skin Cancer Detection and Treatment

Skin cancer represents one of the most common forms of cancer, making early detection and expert treatment crucial for optimal outcomes. At Rao Dermatology, we employ state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques to identify and treat various types of skin cancer effectively.

Our comprehensive skin cancer evaluation process begins with a thorough physical examination of your skin. We then use advanced dermatoscopy to examine any suspicious moles or lesions with enhanced visualization. For cases requiring deeper analysis, we utilize confocal microscopy technology, which allows us to examine skin structures at the cellular level without invasive procedures.

When necessary, our team performs precise tissue biopsies to establish definitive diagnoses. Based on these results, we develop customized treatment plans that may include Mohs surgery, a specialized technique that removes cancerous tissue while preserving healthy surrounding skin. This approach is particularly effective for skin cancers in cosmetically sensitive areas common in our Manhattan patients.

HPV Monitoring and Control Services

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) affects millions of people and manifests in over 100 different types, causing various forms of warts ranging from benign common warts to potentially serious lesions. Our Manhattan dermatology practice provides comprehensive HPV monitoring and control services to help you manage this common condition effectively.

Many patients are surprised to learn that genital warts can be transmitted through non-sexual contact, including sharing towels or touching contaminated surfaces. This makes professional monitoring and treatment even more important for preventing spread and managing symptoms.

Our experienced dermatologists can typically diagnose low-risk HPV cases through careful visual examination. However, when needed, we perform tissue biopsies to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. We offer multiple wart removal options, which we'll discuss during your consultation to determine the best approach for your specific situation.

Expert Treatment for Skin Infections

Skin infections represent a diverse category of conditions caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. While generally not life-threatening, these infections can cause significant discomfort, cosmetic concerns, and may spread if left untreated, particularly in patients with compromised immune systems.

The infectiousness of skin conditions varies dramatically. Highly contagious conditions like scabies, caused by parasitic mites, can quickly spread throughout households, while other conditions like yeast infections pose no transmission risk. Understanding these differences helps us provide appropriate treatment and prevention guidance.

In our increasingly connected world, global travel has contributed to the spread of infectious diseases once confined to specific geographic regions. This evolution requires dermatologists to maintain expertise in both common and rare infectious diseases. Our team stays current with emerging infectious disease patterns to provide accurate diagnoses and effective treatments for Manhattan residents and visitors alike.
