Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Jeffrey Greenwald 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:
- Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): Eczema is a skin problem causing dryness, itchiness, and rashes, but with a doctor's guidance on moisturizers and medications, you can keep it under control, ensuring a better quality of life.
- Acne: Adult-onset acne can be frustrating, but it's manageable! Treatments like topical creams or oral medications can significantly reduce breakouts, helping you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
- Malaise and Fatigue: If you or a loved one are struggling with ongoing fatigue and a lack of overall well-being, remember that effective strategies for managing these symptoms exist, and consulting your doctor is a crucial step towards finding relief and enhancing daily functioning.
- Herpes Simplex Infection: While herpes simplex infections can be uncomfortable, antiviral medications are available to control symptoms and reduce the severity and frequency of outbreaks, allowing you to maintain your independence.
- Shingles: The painful rash of shingles can be relieved through medication and sometimes other therapies, allowing you to get back to enjoying your life without constant discomfort and worry.
- Seborrheic Dermatitis: If you're experiencing dandruff or redness and scaling on your skin, it could be seborrheic dermatitis, a common skin problem easily treated by your doctor to ensure you remain comfortable and independent.
- Dermatitis Due to Drugs: Drug-induced dermatitis is a skin irritation caused by a medication. By working with your doctor to find a different medication or manage the reaction, you can reduce discomfort and maintain your independence.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Skin: Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that can be effectively treated, often with surgery, to help you maintain your active lifestyle and independence.
- Hives: Dealing with hives can be frustrating, but thankfully, these itchy skin bumps are often temporary and can be treated with antihistamines or other allergy medications, enabling seniors to maintain their independence and daily routines.
- Lipomas: Sometimes a small, soft lump will appear under the skin, and it may be a lipoma. Your doctor can easily confirm this, and while often requiring no intervention, removal is an option if it causes problems.
- Ganglion Cyst: A small, fluid-filled sac called a ganglion cyst can develop around a joint, frequently on the wrists or hands, potentially causing some discomfort; simple procedures such as aspiration or surgery can alleviate pain and improve your ability to perform your normal activities.
- Blepharitis: Don't let eyelid inflammation (blepharitis) disrupt your life. With proper treatment, including regular cleaning and potentially prescribed eye drops, you can relieve symptoms and maintain your independence.
