Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Anna Krishtul:

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, 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. Krishtul may recommend more frequent screenings for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun with daily broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+), seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial. These steps can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

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

Can you treat warts?

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

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

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Krishtul 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 a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure to diagnose a skin lesion. Dr. Krishtul 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.

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. It's 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.
