The holidays are busy, and your routine probably is not the same as usual.

Between travel, late nights, colder air, and gifted skincare, it is easy for skin to feel dry, irritated, or off. Small changes can have a bigger impact than you think.

If your skin has been acting up or something does not feel right, we are here to help. Now is a great time to check in with a dermatologist and start the new year with healthy skin.

Sun spots or melasma. Do you know which one you are dealing with?

They can look very similar, but they are caused by different things and need different treatment approaches. Treating them the same way can lead to frustration and sometimes make discoloration worse.

That is why a proper diagnosis matters. Our True Dermatology providers can identify the type of pigmentation you have and create a treatment plan that is safe, effective, and right for your skin.

If dark spots are bothering you, you do not have to guess. We are here to help. Schedule your appointments online at https://truedermatology.com/location/ or by calling our office at 205-624-2100.

Hormonal acne often shows up along the jawline, chin, and lower face and can feel deeper, more painful, and harder to treat. These breakouts are often linked to hormone changes, stress, or medications.

Our dermatology providers can help create a treatment plan that works for your skin. You do not have to manage adult acne on your own.

When your provider sees a spot that looks unusual or has changed over time, a shave biopsy helps us get answers fast. It is a quick, comfortable procedure that removes a thin sample of skin so our derm providers can take a closer look.

Here is why we perform shave biopsies when we find a suspicious spot:
→ It helps us diagnose conditions early, including skin cancer.
→ It shows us exactly what is happening beneath the surface.
→ It guides the next steps for treatment.
→ It gives you peace of mind with clear, accurate results.

Staying proactive with your skin health matters. If you have a mole or spot that looks new, changing, or just does not feel right, schedule your skin check with True Dermatology by calling us at (205) 624-2100 or online at truedermatology.com
