Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Dermatological care with Dr. Saxton-Daniels:
- 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. Saxton-Daniels.
- 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.
- 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. Saxton-Daniels 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 offering more effective treatments than over-the-counter options.
- 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. Saxton-Daniels 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. Saxton-Daniels 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?
- Mohs surgery is a highly precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. The surgeon removes the 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 results in a high cure rate.
- What can be done for sun spots or uneven skin tone?
- Dr. Saxton-Daniels and our team offer 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).
