What is Geriatric Dermatology?
Geriatric Dermatology focuses on diagnosing and managing skin, hair, and nail conditions that occur with aging. As the skin ages, it becomes thinner, drier, and more prone to wrinkles, pigmentation, and infections. Proper dermatological care helps maintain healthy, comfortable, and youthful-looking skin in older adults.
Common Geriatric Skin Conditions
- Dry Skin (Xerosis) – Rough, itchy, and flaky skin due to reduced oil production.
- Wrinkles and Sagging – Resulting from collagen loss and sun exposure.
- Age Spots (Lentigines) – Brown patches caused by prolonged UV exposure.
- Seborrheic Keratosis – Benign growths that appear with age.
- Eczema or Dermatitis – Chronic dry, itchy, and inflamed skin.
- Fungal or Bacterial Infections – Common due to slower healing and reduced immunity.
- Skin Cancer Screening – Monitoring for suspicious growths or moles.
- Fragile Nails or Hair Thinning – Common signs of aging affecting appearance and comfort.
