Dermatology

We treat symptomatic, acute, and chronic skin conditions.

Overview

MIT Health’s Dermatology Service treats symptomatic, acute, and chronic skin conditions.

Our services include:

Diagnosis and management of suspicious skin lesions and non-urgent skin problems
Care for chronic skin conditions
Biopsies of skin lesions under local anesthetic
Treatment of skin lesions using cryotherapy, electrocautery, curettage, incision and drainage, excision, and extraction
Ultraviolet phototherapy
Referral to outside dermatology services.

We provide only medically necessary care for skin conditions that cannot be evaluated and treated by your primary care provider. We do not perform cosmetic or elective dermatology consults and procedures, and we do not treat patients with hair loss (except for hair loss due to alopecia areata).
