Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Miller:
- 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. Miller.
- 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, including prescribing medication. An esthetician is a licensed skincare professional who performs cosmetic treatments, but cannot diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medication.
- 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 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 method has a high cure rate.
- 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. Miller can offer a range of effective treatments, including prescription topical creams, oral medications, and in-office procedures.
- What is the difference between Botox® and dermal fillers?
- Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles causing dynamic wrinkles, while dermal fillers, like Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore fullness, smooth out static wrinkles, and contour the face.
- 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 borders, uneven color, diameter larger than a pencil eraser (6mm), and evolving moles (changes in size, shape, or color). Schedule an appointment with Dr. Miller if you notice any of these signs.
- My skin is very sensitive and often red. Could it be rosacea?
- Persistent redness, flushing, and bumps could be signs of rosacea. Dr. Miller 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. Miller's practice 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 are tailored to individual needs and concerns.
