Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Anjali Singh provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Rosacea: Dealing with the redness and irritation of rosacea can be challenging, but with the right skincare routine and medical care, you can effectively manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
- Granuloma of Skin: A granuloma is a small, raised bump on the skin that's often caused by the body's immune system reacting to an irritant or infection, and while sometimes needing treatment, often resolves on its own.
- Skin Cancer: Skin cancer is a common concern as we age, but regular checkups and prompt medical attention can help ensure that any issues are addressed quickly and effectively, keeping you feeling your best.
- Acanthosis Nigricans: If you notice dark, velvety patches on your skin, particularly in creases, it could be acanthosis nigricans, a condition often treatable by addressing underlying medical issues.
- Candidiasis of Skin and Nails: Older adults are sometimes susceptible to candidiasis, a fungal infection that can impact the skin and nails, but with prompt diagnosis and treatment from your doctor, you can get relief from symptoms and prevent complications.
- Cellulitis: Cellulitis is a skin infection that can cause significant discomfort, but with timely diagnosis and antibiotic treatment, you can experience faster healing and maintain your daily activities.
- Melanoma: Melanoma treatment focuses on removing the cancerous cells, and with proper care and follow-up, it's possible to live a long and healthy life after a melanoma diagnosis.
- Intertrigo: Intertrigo is a skin condition causing inflammation in skin folds; simple measures like regular cleaning, use of absorbent powders, and loose-fitting clothes can reduce discomfort and allow for easier daily activities.
- Shingles: If you've had chickenpox, you may be at risk for shingles, a painful skin rash with blisters. Early treatment with antiviral drugs can significantly shorten the duration and severity of the outbreak.
- Onychomycosis: Onychomycosis is a common fungal infection of the toenails or fingernails, often causing thickening, discoloration, and crumbling of the nail, which can be treated with antifungal medications to improve comfort and prevent further spread.
- Nail Infection: Dealing with a painful or unsightly nail infection can be frustrating, but early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further complications and allow you to enjoy everyday activities again.
- Alopecia: Hair loss, known as alopecia, can impact self-image, but it's often manageable. Your doctor can help determine the cause and recommend treatments tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.

Here are answers to some common questions about Dermatological care with Dr. Anjali Singh:
- What is a Dermatologist?
- Dr. Anjali Singh is a medical doctor specializing in skin, hair, and nail conditions. She diagnoses and treats a wide range of issues, including skin cancer, chronic skin conditions, and age-related skin changes. Her expertise is invaluable for maintaining healthy and comfortable skin in older adults.
- How often should I get a full-body skin exam?
- We strongly recommend a full-body skin exam with Dr. Singh at least once a year. For seniors with a history of skin cancer or numerous moles, she may recommend more frequent checks. This is the single most important step in catching skin cancer early, when it's most treatable.
- What changes in a mole should I watch for?
- Changes in moles, such as asymmetry, irregular borders, changing colors, a diameter larger than a pencil eraser, or evolving spots, should be evaluated immediately. Please schedule an appointment with Dr. Anjali Singh if you notice any of these changes in a new or existing spot.
- Are 'age spots' or 'liver spots' dangerous?
- Age spots are usually harmless, but any new or changing brown spot should be checked by a dermatologist like Dr. Anjali Singh to rule out skin cancer. If you'd like to improve their appearance, there are treatments available.
- My face is often red and flushed. Could this be rosacea?
- Persistent redness and flushing are classic signs of rosacea, a common skin condition. While there's no cure, Dr. Singh can develop a highly effective management plan with gentle skincare, topical medications, and sometimes laser treatments to control redness and prevent flare-ups.
- What happens during a skin biopsy?
- During a skin biopsy, Dr. Singh removes a small skin sample to be examined under a microscope. The area is numbed beforehand for comfort, making the procedure quick and routine. It's a necessary step for accurate diagnosis of skin conditions, including skin cancer.
- What are these small skin tags, and do they need to be removed?
- Skin tags are common, harmless, benign growths that often appear with age. They typically don't need removal, but if they are irritating, Dr. Singh can easily remove them during an office visit.
- What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used?
- Mohs surgery is a highly precise technique used to remove skin cancers like basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. It's crucial because it carefully removes all cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy skin as possible, which is especially important for areas like the face.
