Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Adam Chahine:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. 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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Chahine 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. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ along with seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds are simple habits for lifelong skin health. These steps can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer.

What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used?

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

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. Chahine will numb the area and remove a small skin sample. The sample is sent to a lab for microscopic examination to provide a definitive diagnosis.

I'm experiencing hair loss. Can a dermatologist help?

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Chahine can perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose the specific type of hair loss (alopecia) and recommend effective treatments to prevent further loss and encourage regrowth.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, typically presents as thick, red, scaly plaques. Eczema, often linked to allergies, manifests as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist can accurately diagnose and recommend the best treatment plan.

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

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not a personal failing. Dr. Chahine 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.
