Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Hart:
- How often should I get a full-body skin exam for skin cancer?
- Most experts recommend an annual professional skin exam. 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. Hart.
- 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.
- 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. A local anesthetic numbs the area, so you should only feel a small pinch. It's a crucial tool for accurately diagnosing skin conditions.
- What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used for skin cancer?
- Mohs surgery is a highly precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. The surgeon removes the cancer layer by layer and examines it under a microscope during the procedure, ensuring all cancer cells are removed while sparing the maximum amount of healthy tissue. This approach contributes to a high cure rate.
- 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 should I look for when checking my own moles at home?
- When checking moles at home, look for the ABCDEs of melanoma: asymmetry, irregular border, uneven color, diameter larger than a pencil eraser (6mm), and evolving (changes in size, shape, or color). If you notice any of these signs, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Hart.
- What can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Hart 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'll discuss the best approach for your individual needs during your consultation.
- My skin is very sensitive and often red. Could it be rosacea?
- Persistent redness, flushing, and bumps could be signs of rosacea. Dr. Hart can accurately diagnose rosacea and create a personalized management plan, which may include gentle skincare, prescription creams, and identifying personal triggers.
