Skin Conditions With Aging

Patients often have growths or skin changes that they wonder about.  After examining them, in many cases I say "happy birthday"...it's a manifestation of getting older.  Aging leads to a number of skin and hair changes and when you add the effects of sun, smoking and the environment,  the changes can be profound.
Over time the epidermis thins and by age 60 the dermis is 20% thinner than before.
