Integrative dermatology care for chronic inflammatory skin conditions.
Dr. Larivee’s work centers on chronic inflammatory skin conditions that often involve complex and overlapping contributors. Her integrative approach looks beyond symptom management alone to better understand the internal and external factors influencing long-term skin health.

Chronic eczema, or atopic dermatitis, involves skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation that leads to dry, inflamed, and itchy skin.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by facial redness, flushing, and inflammatory lesions.
Acne is driven by changes in sebum production, skin cell turnover, microbiome balance, and hormonal signaling.
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease that accelerates skin cell turnover and causes thick, scaly plaques.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition in which immune activity disrupts the hair growth cycle and causes patchy hair loss.
Topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) is a rebound inflammatory skin condition that may occur after prolonged use of topical corticosteroids.
Perioral dermatitis is an inflammatory facial rash that commonly appears around the mouth, nose, or eyes and is often triggered by topical steroid use or skin barrier disruption.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting oil-rich areas such as the scalp, face, and ears, leading to flaking, redness, and recurrent flare-ups.
A Systems-Based View of Skin Health
Chronic inflammatory skin conditions often develop through a combination of skin barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, microbiome imbalance, and environmental triggers. Dr. Larivee's integrative dermatology approach focuses on understanding these underlying drivers and developing personalized treatment strategies to support long-term skin stability.
Treatment plans and educational consults are tailored to each individual's clinical history, disease severity, prior treatment response, and overall health.
