General Dermatology In Washington, DC | FoxHall Dermatology

FoxHall Dermatology is a board-certified general dermatology practice in Northwest Washington, DC, providing expert medical skin care for patients of all ages, skin types, and backgrounds. Our team diagnoses and treats the full range of skin, hair, and nail conditions — from common concerns like acne and eczema to complex inflammatory conditions and skin cancer screening.

We serve patients from across DC, Maryland, and Virginia, with a particular focus on inclusive, high-quality care for a diverse patient population. Washington, DC is a majority-minority city, and our physicians are specifically trained in dermatology for patients with darker skin tones — an area where misdiagnosis is far too common.

Conditions We Treat

Acne and Acne Scarring

Acne is one of the most common reasons patients visit a dermatologist in Washington, DC — and one of the most undertreated. We build custom plans using prescription topicals, chemical peels, light therapy, and in-office procedures to clear breakouts and address scarring that won't respond to over-the-counter products.

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)

Chronic eczema requires more than a moisturizer. Our dermatologists identify triggers, prescribe targeted therapies — including newer biologic options for moderate-to-severe cases — and help patients build a long-term skin barrier strategy that reduces flares.

Psoriasis

We offer the full spectrum of psoriasis care, from topical treatments and light therapy to biologic medications for patients with widespread or treatment-resistant disease. Every plan is built around your lifestyle, severity, and skin type.

Rosacea

Rosacea presents differently in patients with darker skin tones, where redness is less visible but inflammation and scarring are more pronounced. Our team provides accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment — combining prescription therapy, laser options, and skincare guidance.

Hyperpigmentation and Melasma

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), melasma, and uneven skin tone are among the most frequently mismanaged conditions in general dermatology. Our physicians are trained to select treatments that are safe and effective across all skin tones without risk of worsening pigmentation.

Hair and Scalp Disorders

We diagnose and treat alopecia areata, traction alopecia, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), androgenetic hair loss, and scalp conditions including seborrheic dermatitis. Hair loss looks different depending on hair type and skin tone — our team accounts for that in every evaluation.

Pediatric Dermatology

Dr. Raina Bembry specializes in pediatric skin care, providing gentle, effective treatment for children and adolescents with eczema, warts, molluscum contagiosum, acne, and other conditions. We make dermatology a positive experience for young patients and their families.

Moles, Growths, and Skin Cancer Screening

Annual full-body skin exams are recommended for most adults. Our dermatologists perform thorough head-to-toe evaluations using dermatoscopy, and perform in-office biopsies when needed. For patients requiring [Mohs micrographic surgery → /services/moles-and-skin-cancer], Dr. Wallace Nozile performs this procedure on-site at our Northwest DC location.

Rashes, Allergic Reactions, and Contact Dermatitis

From acute allergic reactions to chronic contact dermatitis, we provide rapid diagnosis and treatment to reduce discomfort and identify underlying triggers.
