Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Hudson:
- How often should I get a full-body skin exam for skin cancer?
- Most experts recommend an annual professional skin exam. However, individuals at higher risk, such as those with a personal or family history of skin cancer, numerous moles, or significant sun exposure, may need to be seen more frequently, as advised by Dr. Hudson.
- What is the difference between a Dermatologist and an Esthetician?
- A dermatologist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who diagnoses and treats all skin, hair, and nail conditions, and can prescribe medication. An esthetician is a licensed skincare professional who provides cosmetic treatments but cannot diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medication.
- My skin is very sensitive and often red. Could it be rosacea?
- Persistent redness, flushing, and bumps could be signs of rosacea. Dr. Hudson can accurately diagnose rosacea and create a personalized management plan, which may include gentle skincare, prescription creams, and identifying personal triggers.
- What can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Hudson's practice offers various effective options to improve sun damage and pigmentation, including prescription lightening creams (e.g., hydroquinone), chemical peels, and laser or light therapies (like IPL/photofacials). These treatments can significantly improve skin tone and clarity. We will discuss the best approach for your specific needs during your consultation.
- Can a dermatologist help with nail problems like fungus or discoloration?
- Yes, dermatologists treat conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. They can diagnose and treat common nail issues like fungal infections, ingrown nails, and psoriasis of the nails, offering treatments often more effective than over-the-counter options.
- I have acne that isn't responding to over-the-counter products. Can a dermatologist help?
- Yes, dermatologists are experts in treating all forms of acne. Dr. Hudson can offer a range of effective treatments, including prescription topical creams, oral medications, and in-office procedures.
- What is a skin biopsy? Does it hurt?
- A skin biopsy is a simple in-office procedure where a small sample of skin is removed for testing. The area is numbed with a local anesthetic, so you should only feel a small pinch. It's a crucial tool for accurately diagnosing skin conditions.
- What should I look for when checking my own moles at home?
- When checking moles at home, look for asymmetry, irregular borders, uneven color, a diameter larger than a pencil eraser (6mm), and any changes in size, shape, or color (evolving). Schedule an appointment with Dr. Hudson if you notice any of these signs.
