Dr. Michael Robern is one of those example doctors who you want to be treated by. I’ve gone to too many doctors before, but my appointment with Dr. Robern was different. He is a guru, nerd, geek or whatever else you can call him. Very well educated. Well read. If you were able to get an appointment with him - you are lucky.

Wonderful experience! The team is so down to earth and kind. Really appreciated feeling like a person rather than just a patient.

Approximately 230 million people around the world have atopic dermatitis and the lifetime prevalence is >15% especially in wealthier countries. It typically affects people with an ‘atopic tendency’ clustering with hay fever, asthma, and food allergies. All races can be affected; some races are more susceptible to developing atopic dermatitis, and genetic studies are showing marked diversity of the condition’s extent (heterogeneity) between populations.
Atopic dermatitis usually starts in infancy, affecting up to 20% of children. Approximately 80% of children affected develop it before the age of 6 years. All ages can be affected. Although it can settle in late childhood and adolescence, the prevalence in young adults up to 26 years of age is still 5–15%.
Psoriasis is a chronic condition that usually causes patches of red, scaly skin to develop in various locations on your body. Although these patches can occur anywhere, they’re most common on your trunk, knees, and elbows.
Other symptoms of psoriasis may include:
In most cases, the symptoms of psoriasis appear for the first time between the ages of 15-35, but it’s possible for children under 10 to develop this condition as well.
Cosmetic dermatology services are designed to resolve certain embarrassing skin issues such as acne, wrinkles, and scars. These can include cosmetic treatments such as laser, fillers, and neuromodulators (such as Botox®).
Vascular lesions can result from an abundant amount of large vessels forming underneath the skin. Vascular lesions can be many different sizes and forms. Forms can include a large birthmark called a port wine stain, capillaries that have broken, cherry angiomas and hemangiomas. These can also be in the form of keloids, lipomas, benign skin tumors and atypical moles.
Pigmented lesions are common and usually harmless. In fact, nearly all adults have at least a few of them on their skin.
Pigmented lesions are usually no cause for concern. But some can develop into different forms of skin cancer. That’s why it’s important for you and your doctor to monitor them closely. You might need an examination by a dermatologist for pigmented lesions that change color, shape, or size.
The Bottom Line
Although the exact cause of acne is unknown, there are four aspects that play a role—excess oil, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. Increased sebum production during adolescence, along with immature hair follicles can cause acne formation. The clogging of the pores by the thick sebum causes acne lesions.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that affects mainly the face. The most common areas for rosacea symptoms are the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. The neck, chest, and eyes can also be involved. Flushing, redness, and blushing are early signs of the condition.
At Dermatology Ottawa Research Centre, we trial new medications for a variety of skin conditions. This puts us at the leading edge of skin treatments—often for more complex or challenging skin conditions—and allows us to provide new therapy options for our clinical participants and our patients in the future.
The research trials at Dermatology Ottawa Research Centre are conducted by a professional staff and are highly monitored to ensure the well-being and safety of each participant. These clinical research trials are designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new drugs, devices, or behavioural therapies and are often part of multi-national research programs.
If you’ve been living with a skin condition and have not had success with, or access to traditional treatments, there may be opportunities to try something new. We welcome you to contact us to see if there is an appropriate trial available for you at this time or upcoming trials in the near future.
