Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Benjamin Bohaty:

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

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from sun damage 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 excellent ways to maintain lifelong skin health.

Can you treat warts?

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

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a precancerous skin growth often caused by long-term sun exposure. They typically appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches on the skin. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from potentially progressing to squamous cell carcinoma.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles like frown lines. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore contours and fill in static lines.

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 a higher cure rate and a smaller scar.

I have acne. Is it something I just have to live with?

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not a personal failing. Dr. Bohaty 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.
