Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Damanpour:
- 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. Damanpour.
- 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.
- 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 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, schedule an appointment with Dr. Damanpour.
- 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. Damanpour 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. Damanpour 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.
- 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, often with more effective treatments than over-the-counter options.
- What can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Damanpour offers various effective options to improve sun damage and pigmentation, such as 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.
