Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Christa PA:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. They play a vital role in preventing, detecting, and treating skin cancer, as well as managing a wide range of skin diseases.

How often should I get a full-body skin exam?

For average-risk individuals, an annual skin exam is recommended as a vital preventive measure. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Christa PA may recommend more frequent screenings for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun is key. Simple habits like daily sunscreen use, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer. Avoiding tanning beds is also important for long-term skin health.

What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used?

Mohs surgery is a highly precise surgical technique used to remove certain skin cancers, most often on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, leading to the highest cure rate and smallest scar.

I have acne. Is it something I just have to live with?

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not something you have to live with. Dr. Christa PA can create a personalized treatment plan, which may include topical creams, oral medications, and procedural options, to prevent scarring and improve your skin and confidence.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. Christa PA will numb the area and remove a small sample of skin. This sample is sent to a lab for examination under a microscope to provide a definitive diagnosis.

My child has a rash. When should we see a dermatologist?

While many childhood rashes are minor, if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever, it's important to seek a dermatologist's care. Common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts can be effectively diagnosed and treated by a dermatologist.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles to smooth out dynamic wrinkles, while dermal fillers like Juvéderm® or Restylane® add volume to restore youthful contours and fill in static lines.
