Medical Dermatology F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does medical dermatology treat?
Medical dermatology addresses a wide range of skin, hair, and nail conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, skin infections, warts, and skin cancer. Our team also treats chronic conditions like dermatitis and autoimmune skin disorders.
How often should I see a dermatologist for skin checks?
It’s generally recommended to schedule a skin check at least once a year, especially if you have a history of skin cancer or are at higher risk due to factors like sun exposure or family history. Your dermatologist can assess your needs during your visit and suggest a personalized schedule.
What is the difference between medical and cosmetic dermatology?
Medical dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin conditions that affect your health, such as infections, rashes, and skin cancer. Cosmetic dermatology, on the other hand, focuses on enhancing the appearance of the skin through treatments like wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, and scar minimization.
Do I need a referral to see a medical dermatologist?
In many cases, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a medical dermatologist, but this may depend on your insurance provider. We recommend checking with your insurance company to determine if a referral is needed for coverage.
How can I tell if a mole or spot needs to be evaluated?
If you notice changes in a mole or spot, such as asymmetry, irregular borders, color variation, an increase in size, or if it becomes painful, itchy, or bleeds, it’s important to have it evaluated by a dermatologist. Regular skin checks can help detect early signs of skin cancer and other conditions.
