Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Amanda Marsch:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. They are vital in preventing, detecting, and treating skin cancer, and manage 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. Marsch 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, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer. These are excellent steps toward lifelong skin health.

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

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Marsch can perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose the specific type of hair loss 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 as much healthy tissue as possible, resulting in the highest cure rate and smallest scar.

Can you treat warts?

Yes, warts are common skin infections caused by a virus. While some resolve on their own, Dr. Marsch can treat persistent warts with effective in-office procedures like cryotherapy to prevent spreading or discomfort.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

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

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 see a dermatologist. Dr. Marsch can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.
