Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Flowers:
- 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. Flowers.
- 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.
- My skin is very sensitive and often red. Could it be rosacea?
- Persistent redness, flushing, and bumps could be signs of rosacea. Dr. Flowers can accurately diagnose rosacea and create a personalized management plan, which may include gentle skincare, prescription creams, and identifying personal triggers.
- What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used for skin cancer?

- What can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Flowers offers various effective options to improve sun damage and pigmentation, including prescription lightening creams (like hydroquinone), chemical peels, and laser or light therapies (like IPL/photofacials). These treatments can significantly improve skin tone and clarity. We will discuss the best approach for your specific needs during your consultation.
- 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, a 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. Flowers.
