Acne
Acne is one of the most common and frustrating skin conditions that affects people at every stage of life, from adolescence and puberty into adulthood. Breakouts can be painful, persistent, and deeply impactful to your self-esteem, especially when they lead to redness, scarring, or ongoing inflammation. Acne develops when excess oil, debris, bacteria, and inflammation interact beneath the skin’s surface, but hormones, stress, diet, and even certain skincare products can trigger flare-ups as well. Dr. Ramani takes a thoughtful approach to acne care to help her patients understand the cause of their pesky pimples and guide them towards clearer, healthier skin.
To treat acne effectively, Dr. Ramani offers a range of evidence-based options tailored to your skin type, severity, and goals:
- Topical and oral medications, including retinoids, antibiotics, Accutane, oral contraceptives, and spironolactone, may be recommended to reduce inflammation, regulate oil production, and target acne-causing bacteria.
- Chemical peels are another effective option for exfoliating away the top layer of dull, acne-prone skin. During a chemical peel treatment, a curated formula of salicylic acid and other exfoliants, like glycolic acid, is applied to the skin and left on for a monitored period of time. While it sits, it starts eliminating bacteria, opening pores, and reducing the skin’s oil production, all of which help the skin shed dead cells to reveal glowing skin underneath.
Atopic Dermatitis | Eczema
Atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, is a chronic skin condition marked by dryness, itching, and recurring inflammation. It can affect people of all ages and often appears in cycles with periods of calm followed by intense flare-ups triggered by weather changes, stress, allergens, or certain skincare products. Beyond the physical discomfort that comes from eczema, it can also take a toll on daily life and self-confidence, especially when symptoms become persistent or too difficult to manage on one’s own. Dr. Ramani approaches eczema with compassion and an extensive knowledge of the condition to help her patients finally find relief.
To manage eczema effectively, Dr. Ramani creates personalized treatment plans that address both symptoms and underlying triggers. Depending on your skin’s needs, she may recommend:
- Topical medications to calm inflammation, reduce itching, and repair your skin barrier
- Oral and injectable treatments for more persistent or widespread flare-ups
- Hydration-focused skincare routines to strengthen the skin barrier and protect sensitive skin
- Trigger-management strategies to help reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin produce excess melanin, leading to patches of discoloration that can appear as brown spots, sunspots, age spots, freckles, or post-inflammatory marks left behind after acne. While these spots are medically harmless, they can be frustrating and affect how comfortable you feel in your skin. Dr. Ramani approaches hyperpigmentation by first diagnosing the type and cause(s) of your condition so she can create a treatment plan to restore your skin’s clarity and balance your complexion.
Hyperpigmentation can develop for many reasons, including:
- Sun exposure
- Pregnancy
- Hormonal changes
- Certain medications
- Natural aging
- Inflammation from acne or other skin irritations
Depending on your skin type and the cause of your hyperpigmentation, Dr. Ramani may recommend a combination of treatments to gradually lighten discoloration and prevent future darkening. These treatments may include custom prescription topical therapies with ingredients such as hydroquinone, azelaic acid, or retinoids to encourage cell turnover, as well as chemical peels that gently resurface the skin and lift excess pigment.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes the skin to produce new cells more quickly than normal, leading to thick, scaly patches that may itch, crack, or feel uncomfortable. These plaques often appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, or lower back, but psoriasis can affect any area of the body. While symptoms vary from person to person, flare-ups are often triggered by factors such as stress, illness, weather changes, or skin injuries. Dr. Ramani understands how physically and emotionally challenging psoriasis can be, and her approach is to look at each case with compassion, clarity, and a commitment to your long-term skin health.
Because psoriasis presents itself differently for everyone, Dr. Ramani begins with a thorough evaluation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and potential triggers. Her thoughtful diagnosis process allows her to create a treatment plan tailored to your type of psoriasis and the severity of your condition.
Depending on your needs, she may recommend:
- Topical medications to reduce inflammation, normalize skin cell turnover, and soothe irritation
- Oral or injectable treatments for moderate to severe psoriasis or widespread flare-ups
- Targeted therapies that work with your immune system to control symptoms
- Gentle skincare and trigger-management strategies to help reduce flare-up frequency and support long-term control
Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune form of hair loss in which the body’s immune system mistakenly targets hair follicles, leading to sudden and noticeable patches of shedding. Unlike the gradual thinning that many people experience over time, alopecia areata often appears abruptly and can progress unpredictably, with periods of loss and regrowth. It can be influenced by genetics, stress, or other immune-related factors, and while the condition doesn’t damage the follicles permanently, it can be emotionally challenging to navigate. Much like other causes of hair loss, Dr. Ramani will conduct an evaluation to help clarify what’s driving the immune response and guide a plan focused on calming the inflammation, protecting the existing hair and follicles, and supporting healthy regrowth.
When it comes to treating alopecia areata, Dr. Ramani may use:
- Scalp Steroid Injections
- Anti-inflammatory therapies
- Topical treatments
- Lifestyle and Stress-Related Support
Hair Loss
Hair loss is another common concern. Most people will experience some degree of thinning at some point in their lives. While shedding 100 to 150 hairs a day is a normal part of the hair growth cycle, noticeable thinning, widening parts, or patchy hair loss can signal that something deeper is going on. Hair loss can stem from a variety of factors, including genetics, hormones, stress, medical conditions, nutritional changes and deficiencies, or inflammation of the scalp. Dr. Ramani performs a thorough evaluation to understand what’s driving your symptoms and to determine the most effective path forward. Her goal is to not only slow or stop shedding, but also support healthier, stronger regrowth over time.

Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that often begins with occasional flushing but can progress into persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sensitivity across the middle areas of the face. While it most commonly affects the cheeks and nose, it can also extend to the forehead, chin, ears, and neck. Some individuals experience acne-like bumps, thickening of the skin, or changes in texture over time. Symptoms can also fluctuate and vary from person to person. Although the exact cause of rosacea is unclear, research suggests that the nervous system, vascular system, and skin microbiome all play a role. Genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle triggers can also contribute to a flare-up.
To help reduce redness, Dr. Ramani may recommend:
- Custom topical prescriptions or oral medications to reduce inflammation, target texture, and soothe sensitive skin
- Personalized skincare regimens designed to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce flare-ups
- Lasers to destroy blood vessels and improve the appearance of redness
