The dermatologists at NYC Health + Hospitals/Gotham Health provide comprehensive diagnosis and care for skin disorders, including hair and nail conditions. Skin issues can arise on their own or as a result of other medical conditions or treatments a patient is undergoing.
Dermatological symptoms can appear suddenly and may change over time. It is important for patients to be aware of what their skin typically looks and feels like so they can notice changes that may require the care of a physician. Symptoms of various skin conditions can include itching, burning, and pain, as well as painless, but noticeable changes to the appearance of skin.
