Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Richey:
- 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. Richey.
- 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.
- 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 can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Richey 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) that can significantly improve skin tone and clarity.
- 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 moles (changes in size, shape, or color). If you notice any of these signs, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Richey.
- 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.
- 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. Richey can offer a range of effective treatments, including prescription topical creams, oral medications, and in-office procedures.
- My skin is very sensitive and often red. Could it be rosacea?
- Persistent redness, flushing, and bumps could be signs of rosacea. Dr. Richey can accurately diagnose rosacea and create a personalized management plan, which may include gentle skincare, prescription creams, and identifying personal triggers.
