Skin concerns
Skin Care in Primary Care in Richmond, TX
Evaluation and treatment of common skin problems for adults, such as rashes, acne, eczema, psoriasis and skin infections, with referral to a dermatologist when specialist care is needed.
Can a primary care provider treat skin problems?
Yes. Many common skin conditions are diagnosed and treated in primary care. At Lifecare Primary Medical in Richmond, our team evaluates and treats everyday skin concerns as part of adult primary care. We are a primary care and internal medicine practice, not a dermatology office; when a skin problem needs a dermatologist, we refer you and stay involved in your overall care.
Our clinic is at 7103 South Peek Road, Suite 520, Richmond, TX 77407.

Know the warning signs
When a mole or spot needs a closer look
Have a new or changing spot checked promptly. Common warning signs of melanoma are often remembered as the ABCDEs: Asymmetry, irregular Borders, uneven Color, a Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving size, shape or color. A sore that does not heal, or a spot that bleeds or itches, also deserves attention.

Your physician
Samira Khan, MD
Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician
Dr. Khan and our care team look at skin problems in the context of your overall health, since conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disease and medications can all affect the skin.
Specialist care
When we refer to a dermatologist
We refer to a dermatologist for suspicious moles or lesions that may need a biopsy or removal, severe or widespread skin disease, skin conditions that do not respond to treatment, and cosmetic dermatology. We help arrange the referral and follow up afterward.
When a skin problem is urgent
Call 911 for a rash with swelling of the face, lips or throat, or trouble breathing. Seek same-day care for a rapidly spreading red, hot or painful area of skin, especially with fever, or a blistering rash with fever.
