Acne

01.

Why should I see a dermatologist?

You should see a dermatologist if over-the-counter treatments aren’t working, your acne is severe or painful, you’re developing scarring, or your skin condition is affecting your confidence and emotional well-being.

02.

How do you treat acne?

At 360 Dermatology, we take a comprehensive, personalized approach to treating acne, combining the latest advancements in dermatologic medicine with cutting-edge technology. Whether you’re dealing with mild breakouts or severe, cystic acne, our board-certified dermatologist evaluates the root cause of your condition—hormonal, inflammatory, or otherwise—and creates a tailored treatment plan. Options may include prescription topicals, oral medications, hormonal therapy, medical-grade facials, chemical peels, laser treatments.

03.

Can my diet impact Acne breakouts?

Yes, for some people. High-glycemic foods (like white bread or sugary snacks) and dairy products may worsen acne!

04.

Does Acne go away on its own?

Mild acne can resolve on its own, especially after puberty, but moderate to severe acne usually requires treatment to prevent and/or treat scarring.

Eczema

01.

What is eczema and what causes it?

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that causes dryness, itching, redness, and inflammation. It’s often triggered by genetics, immune system responses, environmental allergens, stress, or irritants like soaps and fabrics. At 360 Dermatology in Franklin, TN, we specialize in identifying the root cause of eczema and creating customized treatment plans that soothe and heal the skin—especially for patients with sensitive or skin of color.

02.

How is eczema treated at 360 Dermatology?

We take a comprehensive, individualized approach to eczema treatment, starting with an expert evaluation by our board-certified dermatologist. Based on the severity and type of eczema, we may recommend prescription creams, oral medications, biologic therapies, light therapy (NBUVB), or lifestyle modifications to manage flare-ups. Our treatments are designed to control symptoms, reduce inflammation, and restore the skin barrier for long-term relief across all skin tones and types.

03.

Can eczema be cured?

While there is no permanent cure for eczema, it can be effectively managed with the right treatment plan. At 360 Dermatology, our goal is to help patients achieve long-term control of their symptoms and minimize flare-ups. With consistent care and the latest dermatologic therapies, many of our patients experience significant improvement in both comfort and skin appearance.

04.

Is eczema different in darker skin tones?

Yes, eczema can look different in darker skin tones, sometimes appearing as gray, purple, or darker brown patches rather than red. It may also be misdiagnosed or under-treated in patients with skin of color. At 360 Dermatology, our fellowship-trained dermatologist has advanced expertise in diagnosing and treating eczema in all skin types, ensuring accurate care that addresses unique skin concerns and helps prevent discoloration or scarring.
