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.

Schedule an evaluation with Dr. Brett Kettelhut and discover a more targeted approach to inflammatory skin care.

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.

Not every dangerous skin change is obvious.

Some of the most important changes happen so gradually that they're easy to miss when you're looking at your skin every day.

That's why we don't rely on memory alone.

At this patient's six-month follow-up, Maggie compared high-resolution dermoscopic images using our FotoFinder imaging system. Although the mole appeared very similar at first glance, the side-by-side comparison revealed subtle changes that deserved closer evaluation.

This is the advantage of digital mole monitoring.

Instead of asking,
"Does this mole look different?"

we can compare today's image with a previous examination and evaluate objective changes over time.

At Elkhorn Dermatology, FotoFinder technology allows us to:

• Capture high-resolution images of individual moles
• Compare lesions over time with precision
• Monitor patients at higher risk for melanoma
• Detect subtle changes earlier

Early detection isn't just about finding an unusual mole.

It's about recognizing when a mole is changing.

If you've noticed a new spot, have multiple moles, or simply want a more advanced skin examination, schedule a consultation with our team.

Summer should be about making memories, not dealing with itchy, irritated skin.

If your skin seems to flare up every time you're at the pool, sweating outdoors, or spending more time in the sun, there may be more going on than simple dry skin.

Pool water, sweat, certain sunscreen ingredients, and constant rubbing from wet swimsuits or athletic clothing can weaken your skin barrier and trigger irritation, especially if you have eczema, contact dermatitis, or sensitive skin.

Keep your skin healthier this summer by following a few simple habits:

• Rinse off after swimming or heavy sweating
• Gently pat your skin dry instead of rubbing
• Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp
• Change out of wet or sweaty clothing as soon as possible
• Choose a broad-spectrum, fragrance-free sunscreen if your skin is easily irritated

If your rash keeps returning, spreads, becomes painful, develops blisters, or interferes with your daily life, it's time to have it evaluated by a dermatology provider.

Don't spend the rest of summer trying to treat the symptoms. Find the cause and get lasting relief.

☀️ Got a sunburn? What you do next matters.

Most people focus on preventing a sunburn, but recovery is just as important for protecting your long-term skin health.

When your skin has been overexposed to UV rays, it's working overtime to repair itself. Supporting that healing process can help reduce discomfort and prevent additional stress on the skin barrier.

💧 Recovery tips after a sunburn:
❄️ Cool the skin with cool showers or compresses
🧴 Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer
👒 Stay out of direct sun while your skin heals
🚨 Watch for severe blistering, infection, or worsening symptoms

But the best strategy is preventing the next burn.

Think of sun protection as a daily routine, not just a beach-day habit:

☂️ Seek shade when possible
🕶️ Wear hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing
🧴 Apply broad-spectrum SPF every day
🥗 Support your skin with healthy lifestyle habits
🔍 Schedule regular skin exams to catch changes early

Your skin remembers every sunburn. The choices you make today can help protect your skin's appearance, health, and future for years to come.

📅 Due for a professional skin check? Schedule an appointment and take a proactive approach to protecting your skin.
