🎀 Different Cancers. One Powerful Message: Early Detection Matters.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor those affected by breast cancer, celebrate survivors, and remind ourselves of the importance of proactive health screenings.

At Elkhorn Dermatology, this message is close to our mission. Just as breast cancer screenings can help detect disease before symptoms appear, regular skin examinations can help identify suspicious moles and skin changes before they become more advanced.

🔎 Through comprehensive skin exams, digital dermoscopy, and advanced FotoFinder mole mapping, our team is committed to helping patients stay informed and proactive about their skin health.

This October, wear pink, support those affected by breast cancer, and remember that early detection matters for every type of cancer.

🎀 Raise awareness. Encourage screenings. Protect your future.

Your skin deserves attention. Your care deserves transparency. 🔍

Not every skin concern requires the same approach. A changing mole, an unfamiliar growth, or a routine skin cancer screening each calls for the right level of evaluation.

That's why we've made it easier to understand your options before you schedule.

At Elkhorn Dermatology, our skin check and lesion evaluation services combine clinical expertise, advanced dermoscopy, and FotoFinder imaging to help identify concerning changes and guide appropriate next steps.

Whether you're establishing a baseline for future skin monitoring, having a particular spot examined, or seeking a comprehensive full-body skin exam, our approach is built around thorough evaluation and personalized care.

No insurance requirements. No surprise office-visit charges. Just clear pricing and attentive dermatology care.

Because knowing what to expect should be part of feeling confident about your care.

Acne doesn’t have an age limit, and neither should personalized acne care. 🩵

Teen breakouts, persistent adult acne, hormonal changes, clogged pores, inflammatory lesions, and recurring flare-ups can have different contributing factors. That is why effective acne care starts with understanding your skin, not simply treating every breakout the same way.

At Elkhorn Dermatology, we take an individualized approach to acne care for patients of different ages and skin types. We look at your acne pattern, severity, skin history, previous treatments, skincare routine, and other factors that may be contributing to your breakouts.

Depending on your needs, your treatment plan may incorporate prescription or topical therapies, targeted skincare, in-office treatments, and additional evaluation when appropriate.

Our goal goes beyond clearing the breakout you see today. We want to help reduce inflammation, limit future breakouts, minimize the risk of lasting marks and scarring, and support healthier skin over time.

Because acne care shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. Your skin deserves a plan built around you.

Calmer eczema-prone skin often starts with the ordinary things you do every day. 🌿

The temperature of your shower.
The cleanser you reach for.
How quickly you moisturize afterward.
What touches your skin throughout the day.

None of these steps seems particularly significant on its own. But together, they can make a difference in supporting a skin barrier that is easily irritated.

Think gentle, consistent, and simple.

Use lukewarm rather than hot water. Choose mild, fragrance-free products. Apply a generous moisturizer shortly after bathing and reapply when your skin feels dry. If you have prescribed eczema medication, use it according to your treatment plan.

And pay attention to patterns.

If your eczema repeatedly appears in the same areas, worsens after certain products, or continues returning despite careful skin care, an outside trigger could be worth investigating. Allergic contact dermatitis can sometimes overlap with eczema, and patch testing may help identify substances your skin is reacting to.

Good eczema care isn't about having a perfect routine. It's about giving your skin the same gentle support, day after day.

Want to better understand eczema, what can trigger flares, and when it may be time to see a dermatology provider?

Your skin may be reacting to something you encounter every day. 🔍

Fragrances. Metals. Hair products. Preservatives. Adhesives. Even ingredients in products you've used for years.

For patients with persistent or recurring contact dermatitis, identifying the actual trigger can be an important part of getting the condition under better control.

At Elkhorn Dermatology, Dr. Brett Kettelhut, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, uses skin patch testing to help identify substances that may be causing allergic contact dermatitis.

Patch testing evaluates delayed allergic reactions to specific substances that commonly come into contact with your skin. Potential triggers can include:

🧴 Fragrances and skincare ingredients
💍 Metals such as nickel
🎨 Hair dyes and preservatives
🩹 Adhesives, rubber, and topical products

But a positive patch test is only part of the story. The goal is to determine which reactions are actually relevant to the products, materials, and substances you encounter in everyday life. From there, patients can receive guidance on avoiding identified allergens and reducing future exposure.

If you've been dealing with a rash that keeps returning despite treatment, it may be time to investigate what your skin is coming into contact with.

Don't just manage the rash. Find out what may be triggering it.

When a rash keeps coming back, treating the symptoms may only be part of the answer. 🧩

Persistent eczema, recurring rashes, and unexplained skin irritation can sometimes require a deeper look at what is triggering the inflammation in the first place.

At Elkhorn Dermatology, Dr. Brett Kettelhut brings specialized expertise in allergic and inflammatory conditions to patients dealing with complex or persistent skin concerns.

As a board-certified allergist and immunologist, Dr. Kettelhut has extensive experience evaluating the relationship between the immune system, allergies, environmental exposures, and inflammation of the skin. His areas of focus include:

🔹 Allergic Contact Dermatitis
🔹 Chronic Eczema
🔹 Skin Patch Testing
🔹 Candida Immunotherapy for Warts

For patients with suspected contact allergies, patch testing can help identify specific substances that may be contributing to recurring dermatitis, allowing care to move beyond simply managing a flare toward understanding potential triggers.

If you've been dealing with a rash that keeps returning, it may be time to look deeper.

A skin biopsy may sound intimidating, but the procedure itself can be surprisingly quick. 🔬

When a mole or skin lesion needs a closer look, a biopsy allows a small sample of tissue to be collected and sent to a laboratory for examination.

Patient comfort is an important part of every procedure. We explain what to expect, answer questions along the way, and help make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible.

In this video, Margaret Matveyev, APRN, performs an in-office biopsy of a concerning skin lesion. The procedure is typically completed in just a few minutes after the area is numbed.

A biopsy doesn't automatically mean skin cancer. It's an important diagnostic step that can provide answers and help determine what, if anything, needs to happen next.

🔎 Have a spot that's changing, bleeding, not healing, or simply doesn't look right? Don't keep wondering. Have it checked.

🔎 Some skin changes deserve a closer look.

A spot on your skin may look small or relatively ordinary to the naked eye. With digital dermoscopy, our care team can examine a lesion under magnification and evaluate details and structures that may be difficult to see during a visual examination alone.

At Elkhorn Dermatology, focused dermoscopic evaluation can be used for a new, changing, bleeding, non-healing, or otherwise concerning mole or skin lesion. High-resolution digital images can also provide valuable documentation for comparison when monitoring certain lesions over time.

If a spot has caught your attention, especially one that is new, changing, bleeding, itching, or not healing, don't ignore it.

Early evaluation matters. When a lesion warrants further investigation, our care team can determine the appropriate next step, including monitoring or biopsy when medically indicated.
