Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Barry Dubner:

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

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun involves simple, daily habits. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily, seek shade during peak sun hours, wear protective clothing, and avoid tanning beds. These habits will help maintain healthy skin for a lifetime.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

Dr. Dubner's practice encourages you to be an active participant in your skin health by using the ABCDEs of melanoma as a self-monitoring tool. A for asymmetry, B for irregular borders, C for varied colors, D for a diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and E for evolving moles can help you identify potential skin concerns early. This knowledge empowers you to seek professional evaluation if needed.

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 promptly using prescription medications from Dr. Dubner's office at the first sign of a flare can prevent worsening.

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

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Dubner can perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose the specific type of hair loss and recommend effective treatments to prevent further loss and encourage regrowth.

Can you treat warts?

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

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, often presents as thick, red, scaly plaques. Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is frequently linked to allergies and typically appears as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist can accurately diagnose and recommend the best treatment plan.
