I am a board-certified nurse practitioner with a focus in oncodermatology. This means I treat patients who are experiencing side effects from their cancer treatment related to their skin, hair, and nails. Common conditions include rashes, hair changes and cancerous wounds. In this role, I collaborate with medical oncologists with the goal of minimizing these side effects and improving skin-related quality of life while allowing patients to continue their current cancer treatment as needed.
Treatment plans may include at-home care, topical creams, oral medications, and light therapy. All treatments are personalized for each patient taking into account the type of reaction and the patients overall health.
