Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Ransdell:
- 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. Ransdell.
- What is the difference between a Dermatologist and an Esthetician?
- Dermatologists are medical doctors (MD or DO) who diagnose and treat all skin, hair, and nail conditions, including prescribing medication. Estheticians are licensed skincare professionals who provide 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 can be signs of rosacea, a common chronic skin condition. Dr. Ransdell can accurately diagnose rosacea and create a personalized management plan, which may include gentle skincare, prescription creams, and identifying personal triggers.
- 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. Ransdell can offer a range of effective treatments, including prescription topical creams, oral medications, and in-office procedures.
- What can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Ransdell offers various effective options to improve sun damage and pigmentation. Prescription lightening creams (e.g., hydroquinone), chemical peels, and laser or light therapies (like IPL/photofacials) can significantly improve skin tone and clarity. These treatments can help address sun spots and uneven skin tone.
- 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 that are often more effective than over-the-counter options.
- What is the difference between Botox® and dermal fillers?
- Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles causing wrinkles, while dermal fillers, like Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore fullness and smooth out wrinkles.
- Do you treat conditions related to hair loss?
- Yes, hair loss conditions are a core part of dermatology. Dermatologists are specialists in hair and scalp disorders. Dr. Ransdell can diagnose the underlying cause of hair loss, which can range from genetics to medical conditions, and recommend appropriate treatments like prescription medications or other therapies.
