Early on, Dr. Jeremy Youse knew that dermatology was the right career for him. Growing up in Hannibal, MO, Dr. Youse struggled with severe psoriasis in grade school and junior high, so much so that he traveled nearly two hours each way to St. Louis three times a week just to get the right treatment. But after seeing his skin clear up and regaining his confidence, he knew he wanted to help others with similar issues, as that dermatologist had helped him.
Today, Dr. Youse provides medical and surgical dermatology at VitalSkin offices in Champaign-Urbana, Mattoon, and Decatur. He treats psoriasis and other skin conditions and provides full-body skin exams to assess moles and lesions that need further evaluation. His skin cancer care includes basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, as well as precancerous lesions.
As a Mayo Clinic fellowship-trained surgeon, Dr. Youse performs Mohs surgery when its staged approach fits the diagnosis and treatment area. He also performs excision when standard surgical removal is appropriate. During Mohs surgery, he examines the tissue edges at each stage and removes additional tissue where cancer remains, preserving as much surrounding healthy skin as possible.
Dr. Youse earned his bachelor’s degree at Truman State University, where he graduated as class valedictorian, and his medical degree at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine, where he graduated summa cum laude. He completed his dermatology residency and a Mohs micrographic surgery and dermatologic oncology fellowship at Mayo Clinic. He is board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology and is a fellow of the American College of Mohs Surgery.
Outside of the office, Dr. Youse enjoys spending time with his wife, Sophie, and two daughters, Stella and Halle. He also enjoys hiking and other outdoor activities, reading, and binging Netflix.
