Dermatology

Adults, adolescents and children can have a variety of skin conditions that require treatment. The Dermatology team at Ochsner LSU Health treats everything from acne and psoriasis to rare and complicated conditions like bullous pemphigoid and cutaneous T cell lymphoma. Sometimes skin diseases develop quickly and can lead to detrimental effects for people. With a board-certified dermatologist, we have the skills needed to treat difficult skin diseases. We strive to understand how a particular skin condition affects each adult and pediatric dermatology patient as an individual. This helps us assess the situation, provide the appropriate treatment and ideally helps patients reach better quality of life after working with us.
