Migraines

Migraines

Migraines cause extensive pain and discomfort to countless people on a daily basis. Migraines occur as a result of a wide variety of different causes, based on both genetics and on your lifestyle. Botox is one of the most effective methods of medically treating migraine pain. A dermatology provider can help determine whether Botox is appropriate for your specific condition.

While migraines are primarily known as severe headaches, they can also have dermatological manifestations. Migraine-associated skin conditions include cutaneous allodynia, a heightened sensitivity to touch, and migrainous vasculitis, which causes inflammation and redness in the skin.

At the California Dermatology Institute, our dermatology providers understand the complex relationship between migraines and skin health. We collaborate with other specialists to provide comprehensive care for patients experiencing migraine-related dermatological symptoms.

Treatment options for migraine-associated skin conditions may include medications to manage pain and inflammation, as well as lifestyle modifications to identify and avoid triggers. Our dermatology providers will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses both your dermatological symptoms and overall migraine management.

We recognize the impact that migraines can have on your quality of life, and our goal is to help you find relief and improve your skin health in conjunction with migraine management.
