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 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. Dr. Sanghvi may recommend more frequent screenings for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or those with many moles, to facilitate early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from sun damage is key for preventing skin cancer. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ along with seeking shade during peak sun hours and wearing protective clothing are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoid tanning beds to further reduce your risk.

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

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Sanghvi 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.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Managing eczema proactively is key. Daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding triggers like harsh soaps or allergens, and using prescription medications from Dr. Sanghvi's office at the first sign of a flare can help prevent worsening.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

Dr. Sanghvi's practice encourages patients to be proactive in skin cancer detection by learning the ABCDEs: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing moles. Recognizing these features can help identify potentially concerning skin changes early. Early detection is key to successful treatment.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that often causes facial redness, flushing, and sometimes small bumps or pimples. Management focuses on preventing flare-ups by identifying personal triggers and using a combination of gentle skincare and, if needed, prescription medications.

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 best treatment approach.
