Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Morris:
- 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. Morris.
- 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 provides cosmetic treatments, but cannot diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medication.
- 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. Morris can offer a range of effective treatments, including prescription topical creams, oral medications, and in-office procedures.
- Do you treat conditions related to hair loss?
- Yes, hair loss is a core part of dermatology. Dermatologists are specialists in hair and scalp disorders. Dr. Morris 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.
- 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.
- 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. Morris.
- What can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Morris and our team offer 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. We will discuss the best treatment plan for you 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. Morris can accurately diagnose rosacea and create a personalized management plan, which may include gentle skincare, prescription creams, and identifying personal triggers.
