Skin Cancer Screening

Thorough Skin Cancer Exams

Skin Cancer Screenings

A new spot or a change in an old mole can create understandable worry. A dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology takes time to look closely at these concerns, using tools like dermoscopy to study details that aren’t always visible to the eye. Many patients appreciate having a calm space to ask questions and understand what truly matters.

During a full-body exam, we check for early signs of melanoma and other skin cancers and explain each finding as we go. This careful approach helps you understand your skin and what to watch for. You’ll receive this thorough evaluation here in our Venice office.

Mohs Surgery

Precise Skin Cancer Removal

Mohs Surgery

Hearing that you need Mohs surgery often brings a mix of emotions, especially when the area is delicate or visible. One of our dermatologists will walk you through how the procedure works and answer questions before anything begins. Many people feel more at ease once they understand how the cancer is removed one layer at a time.

This precise technique allows our fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons to check each stage under the microscope and protect as much healthy skin as possible. Here in our Venice location, we focus on clarity, comfort, and steady guidance from start to finish.

We explain what we see in clear, simple language and outline treatment options that match the child’s age and needs. Families visiting our Venice office often appreciate the calm pace and the chance to ask questions without feeling rushed.

This helps shape a treatment path that fits your life and manages irritation more effectively.

Complete Dermatology Care in Venice

Our Venice office provides a full range of dermatology services, from routine skin exams to advanced procedures and long-term care.

Medical Dermatology

Acne Treatment 

Breakouts can show up for many different reasons, and they often feel unpredictable until someone takes a close look at what’s driving them. When you come in, a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology studies your skin patterns and listens to what you’ve already tried. Understanding whether clogged pores, hormones, irritation, or stress are involved helps guide a more effective plan.

Treatment may include prescription topicals, oral options, or in-office therapies aimed at reducing inflammation and preventing new breakouts. Here in our Venice office, many people appreciate having a clear direction after months of frustration and finally seeing steady improvement.

Acne Treatment

Eczema Treatment

Eczema often brings cycles of itching, redness, and dry patches that flare without warning. One of our dermatologists will take time to look at the areas most affected, ask about the triggers you’ve noticed, and understand how long symptoms tend to last. This helps us shape a plan that calms irritation and reinforces your skin’s natural barrier.

Care can include topical prescriptions, gentle moisturizers, or light-based therapy depending on your needs. Here in our Venice dermatology location, we aim to create a plan that feels manageable and helps reduce flare-ups so your skin can settle more comfortably.

Eczema Treatment

Psoriasis Treatment

Psoriasis affects everyone differently, and many people come in feeling unsure why certain spots worsen while others stay quiet. During your visit, your dermatologist looks closely at the pattern of your plaques, the areas under the most pressure, and the triggers you’ve noticed over time. This helps identify where inflammation is most active.

Your treatment may involve topical medications, phototherapy, or systemic or biologic options when needed. Here in our Venice practice, we prioritize steady progress and clear guidance so long-term management feels more predictable and less overwhelming.

Psoriasis Treatment

Rosacea Treatment

Persistent redness, warmth, or flare-ups can make rosacea difficult to manage on your own. When you meet with a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology, we look closely at the pattern of your symptoms and discuss anything that seems to trigger flushing or irritation. That understanding makes it easier to select treatments that calm and protect your skin.

Options may include prescription creams, oral medications, or targeted laser therapy based on what your skin responds to best. Here in our Venice office, we work toward easing redness and helping you feel more comfortable day to day.

Rosacea Treatment

Nail Fungus Treatment

Changes in nail color, thickness, or texture can build slowly, and many people aren’t sure when a fungal infection is involved. One of our dermatologists will examine the pattern of the nail changes and determine how deep the infection goes. That evaluation guides whether topical medication, oral treatment, or a combination offers the best chance of clearing the nail.

These infections can take time to resolve, but consistent treatment helps reduce recurrence and improve how the nail grows back. Here in our Venice office, we focus on setting realistic expectations and supporting healthy regrowth.

Nail Fungus Treatment

Hair Loss Treatment in Lakewood Ranch

Hair thinning can feel unsettling, especially when it happens suddenly or doesn’t follow a clear pattern. During your visit, a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology examines your scalp, reviews your medical history, and discusses anything you’ve noticed leading up to the shedding. Understanding whether genetics, hormones, stress, or inflammation might be involved helps guide the next steps.

Treatment may include topical or oral medications, targeted therapies, or PRF depending on your needs. Here in our Venice dermatology office, we emphasize practical guidance and realistic progress so you feel supported throughout the process.

Skin Cancer & Mohs

Skin Cancer Screenings

Many people schedule a skin check when they spot something new or feel unsure about a change that doesn’t match the rest of their skin. During your exam, one of our dermatologists takes time to study each area carefully, using dermoscopy to view structures that aren’t visible to the naked eye. This close evaluation helps detect melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma at early stages.

Here in our Venice office, routine screenings are especially helpful because sun exposure plays a big role in daily life if you live in the area. You’ll leave with clear explanations and practical guidance that will support your long-term skin health.

Skin Cancer Screenings

Mohs Surgery

When a skin cancer appears in a sensitive or noticeable area, precision matters. A dermatologist trained in Mohs surgery examines each thin layer of tissue under the microscope, removing only what is necessary to clear the cancer. This step-by-step approach protects healthy skin while ensuring the tumor is fully removed.

Patients who visit our Venice location value the calm, steady pace of the process and the clear communication they receive throughout their care. Whether your case is simple or requires careful reconstruction, our focus is effective removal and a recovery plan you can feel comfortable with.

Mole Mapping

Some people live with many moles or notice frequent changes over time, and having a detailed record can make a meaningful difference. During mole mapping, your dermatologist captures high-quality images and tracks subtle shifts in size, color, and structure from one visit to the next. This helps identify concerning changes much earlier than traditional exams alone.

When combined with your annual full-body skin check, mole mapping provides a deeper level of reassurance. Here in our Venice dermatology location, this approach helps guide early treatment decisions and supports long-term monitoring with confidence.

Mole Mapping

Mole Removal

A mole that changes shape, color, or simply starts to bother you deserves a closer look. During your visit, a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology evaluates the spot carefully and determines whether removal is recommended. When treatment is needed, we choose a method that balances medical safety with the goal of leaving the area looking as natural as possible.

Most removals are done comfortably right here in our Venice office. Patients often find peace of mind in understanding exactly why a mole was removed and what to expect as the skin heals.

Mole Removal

Biopsies & Excisions

Some skin changes require a closer look to understand what’s truly happening beneath the surface. During a biopsy or excision, your dermatologist examines the area carefully and removes a small sample—or the entire lesion—so we can identify the cause and determine next steps. These procedures help diagnose skin cancers, evaluate suspicious moles, and address growths that need medical attention.

Biopsies and excisions are performed in our Venice office with attention to your comfort and clarity. You’ll receive straightforward explanations and follow-up guidance to ensure you feel supported throughout the process.

Biopsies & Excisions

Melanoma Treatment

Melanoma can develop quickly, and early evaluation plays an essential role in effective care. During your appointment, your dermatologist studies the lesion with close attention to detail, often using dermoscopy or a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. When treatment is necessary, options may include excision or Mohs surgery for areas where tissue preservation matters most.

People turn to our Venice practice for steady guidance and clear answers during a stressful time. We focus on coordinated evaluation, timely treatment, and follow-up that helps you navigate each step with confidence.

Procedural Dermatology

Wart Removal

Warts can be stubborn and often linger long after you expect them to fade. During your visit, a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology looks closely at the area to confirm the type of wart and determine why it may be sticking around. Understanding these details helps guide whether cryotherapy, prescription care, or a simple in-office procedure will work best.

Most treatments are quick and require little downtime. Here in our Venice office, we aim for a smooth experience that clears the wart safely and lowers the chance of it returning, so your skin can heal comfortably.

Wart Removal

Cyst Removal

Cysts can feel tender, distracting, or simply out of place, especially when they grow or keep coming back. When you come in, your dermatologist evaluates the area with careful attention to confirm what type of cyst it is and choose the safest removal approach. This step helps ensure the entire cyst is treated, not just the surface.

Many cyst removals can be done in a single visit here at our Venice dermatology location. We focus on clear explanations, gentle technique, and recovery guidance that helps your skin heal with fewer surprises.

Cyst Removal

Lipoma Removal

A lipoma often grows slowly over time and may start to feel more noticeable even when it’s harmless. When you meet with one of our dermatologists, we assess the area to confirm the diagnosis and discuss whether removal is the right step for you. If it is, we use methods designed to fully clear the lipoma while keeping the surrounding skin protected.

Most lipoma procedures are straightforward and performed right here in our Venice office. You’ll know what to expect at every stage, with a plan that helps you move forward confidently.

Lipoma Removal

Keloid Removal

Keloids can continue to thicken or tighten long after the original injury has healed, and many people come in when the area starts to feel uncomfortable or changes in appearance. During your visit, your dermatologist studies the scar’s shape and texture to understand how it’s behaving and which treatment might offer the best improvement.

Options range from targeted injections to laser therapy or minor surgical reduction depending on your needs. Here in our Venice location, we focus on easing irritation and helping the scar blend more naturally over time.

Keloid Removal

Skin Tag Removal

Skin tags often develop in spots that rub or catch, and they can become irritating even when they’re harmless. When you visit us, a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology confirms it’s a simple skin tag and then removes it using a quick, in-office technique. The process is brief and designed to minimize discomfort.

Most removals take only a moment here in our Venice dermatology office. Whether you have a single tag or several, our goal is a clean result and skin that feels more comfortable right away.

Skin Tag Removal

Nail Procedures

Problems involving the nails can make everyday tasks uncomfortable, especially when swelling, thickening, or pressure develops around the area. During your appointment, your dermatologist examines both the nail and surrounding skin to identify what’s causing the issue. Ingrown nails, thickened nails, trauma-related changes, and fungal infections often respond well to simple procedures performed in the office.

Here in our Venice location, we tailor treatment to ease discomfort and support healthier nail growth. You’ll receive practical guidance and care that helps you return to daily activity with less irritation.

Pediatric Dermatology

Childhood Skin Conditions

Children often develop rashes, bumps, or dry spots that seem to change quickly, and it can be hard to know what needs attention. When you bring your child in, one of our dermatologists looks closely at the areas involved and listens to what you’ve noticed at home. That combination helps us understand the pattern behind the irritation and choose an approach that feels right for your child.

Here in our Venice office, visits leave room for questions so parents never feel hurried. Whether you’re concerned about eczema, a birthmark, a recurring rash, or a stubborn wart, your dermatologist will explain what’s going on and offer clear, practical care for healthy skin as your child grows.

Childhood Skin Conditions

Pediatric Eczema Care

Eczema can make a child’s skin feel itchy, irritated, or extra sensitive, and flare-ups often happen at unexpected times. During your visit, your dermatologist studies the areas most affected and talks through the patterns you’ve noticed—whether dryness worsens at night, after swimming, or with certain products. These details help guide treatment that supports the skin’s barrier and calms discomfort.

Families who visit our Venice dermatology location often appreciate having a plan that’s realistic to follow at home. Whether the eczema appears occasionally or feels constant, a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology will outline steps that make daily care easier and help your child’s skin feel more comfortable.

Pediatric Eczema

Pediatric Acne Treatment

Breakouts during childhood or the teen years can feel discouraging, especially when they change from week to week. When you come in, one of our dermatologists examines your child’s skin with careful attention and talks through daily habits, routines, and anything else that might be contributing to the acne. Understanding these patterns helps us choose treatments that reduce irritation and support clearer skin.

Families visiting our Venice office often value the steady guidance and practical tools offered during these appointments. Whether the acne is new, persistent, or worsened by over-the-counter products, a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology will build a plan that fits your child’s age and helps them feel more confident.

Pediatric Acne

Birthmarks & Rashes in Children

Skin changes often appear quickly in children, and it can be hard to tell what needs attention and what will settle on its own. When you bring your child in, a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology examines the skin gently and listens to the details you’ve noticed at home. That combination helps us understand the pattern behind the rash or spot and decide on the most helpful next steps.

Visits here in our Venice office leave room for questions so families never feel rushed. Whether you’re concerned about a long-standing birthmark or a rash that showed up overnight, your dermatologist will offer clear explanations and simple, effective care to support your child’s skin.

Birthmarks & Rashes

Wart Removal for Kids

Warts and molluscum can spread quickly in children, especially when they’re active or sharing sports gear. During your child’s visit, your dermatologist examines the bumps with a gentle approach and talks through anything you’ve observed at home. Once we understand what’s causing the spots, we can recommend treatments such as cryotherapy, topical therapy, or other methods designed to clear the bumps comfortably.

Parents who visit our Venice dermatology office often look for options that work well without disrupting daily routines. Whether the wart is new or keeps returning, a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology will guide you through treatment that helps your child’s skin heal and feel better.

Wart Removal for Kids

Teen Skin Care

Skin changes during the teen years can feel sudden, and many teens try multiple products before seeking help. When your teen meets with a dermatologist at Arsenault Dermatology, we look closely at their skin and talk through routines, activities, and anything that may be triggering breakouts or irritation. This helps us design a plan that suits their age, schedule, and skin type.

Appointments for teens here in our Venice office are relaxed and focused on clarity. Whether your teen is dealing with early acne, clogged pores, or reactions to harsh products, your dermatologist will recommend steps that are manageable and help their skin settle into a healthier balance.
