Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Ashleigh Siegel:

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. Dr. Ashleigh Siegel may recommend more frequent screenings for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun is key to preventing skin cancer. Simple habits like daily broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+, seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds are crucial for lifelong skin health.

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.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a pre-cancerous skin growth often caused by sun exposure. They typically feel rough and sandpaper-like. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from potentially progressing to squamous cell carcinoma.

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. Siegel 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.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Managing eczema proactively is key. Daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding known triggers, and promptly using prescription medications from Dr. Ashleigh Siegel's practice at the first sign of a flare can help prevent worsening.

What is a skin biopsy?

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