Men’s Skin Health: Why Male Skin Needs Specialized Dermatologic Care

At Dr.Angela Azar MD we provide comprehensive dermatologic care designed specifically to address the needs of male patients.

How Male Skin Is Different

Male skin is approximately 20 to 25 percent thicker than female skin and produces more sebum due to higher testosterone levels. This can make men more prone to acne, clogged pores, and inflammation. Increased sweating and facial hair also contribute to skin irritation, rashes, and chronic conditions that often require professional evaluation.

Common Skin Conditions We Treat in Men

-Acne and Acne Scarring

Men tend to produce more oil, which can lead to persistent acne, blackheads, cysts, and long-term scarring. We offer medical treatments to control breakouts and advanced procedures to improve acne scars.

-Psoriasis and Chronic Rashes

Psoriasis commonly affects the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Sweat and friction can worsen symptoms, making early diagnosis and treatment essential.

-Contact Dermatitis and Skin Allergies

Reactions to soaps, shampoos, shaving products, fragrances, or workplace exposures are common. Identifying triggers and prescribing targeted treatment can significantly improve comfort and skin health.

-Seborrheic Dermatitis (Dandruff and Facial Scaling)

This condition often affects the scalp, eyebrows, beard area, chest, and face. Professional treatment helps control redness, flaking, and irritation.

-Actinic Keratoses and Sun Damage

Men are at higher risk for sun damage due to outdoor exposure. Actinic keratoses are precancerous lesions that require monitoring and treatment to prevent progression to skin cancer.

-Hair Loss

More than 80 percent of men experience hair thinning or balding. We offer medical evaluations and advanced treatments to slow hair loss and promote regrowth when appropriate.

-Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Excessive sweating of the underarms, face, or hands can interfere with daily life. We provide effective medical and injectable treatment options.

-Premature Aging, Wrinkles, and Skin Laxity

Sun exposure and smoking accelerate aging in male skin. Subtle cosmetic treatments can soften lines and refresh the face while maintaining a natural, masculine appearance.

Cosmetic Treatments for Men

Cosmetic dermatology is no longer just for women. We regularly perform treatments for male patients including neuromodulators to soften expression lines, dermal fillers for facial balance, PRP for hair thinning, laser treatments, and laser hair removal. Our approach prioritizes natural results and individualized care.

Why Men Choose Our Practice

At Dr.Angela Azar male patients receive care from board-certified providers who understand both the medical and aesthetic aspects of men’s skin. We focus on clear communication, evidence-based treatments, and results that look natural and appropriate for each individual.

When to See a Dermatologist

Men should schedule a dermatology visit if they notice persistent acne, new or changing moles, chronic rashes, hair loss, excessive sweating, or signs of sun damage. Preventive skin checks are also essential for early detection of skin cancer.

Healthy skin is not cosmetic. It’s medical care.

Our office welcomes male patients of all ages and offers both medical and cosmetic dermatology in a professional, comfortable environment.
