Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Albert Nemeth:

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 critical role in preventing and detecting skin cancer, and 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. Nemeth 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 broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial for lifelong skin health.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure to diagnose a skin lesion. Dr. Nemeth will numb the area and remove a small sample of skin, which is then 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, it's important to see a dermatologist if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever. Dr. Nemeth can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous skin growths often caused by long-term sun exposure. They frequently appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs is important because a small percentage can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated.

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

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Nemeth 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 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 healthy tissue, resulting in the highest cure rate and smallest possible scar.
