Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Blas Reyes:

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 and detecting 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. Blas Reyes may recommend more frequent screenings for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun is key. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours, along with wearing protective clothing, are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial.

What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used?

Mohs surgery is a highly precise surgical technique used to remove certain skin cancers, primarily on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, leading to the highest cure rate and smallest possible scar.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic condition causing facial redness, flushing, and sometimes bumps or pimples. Management focuses on preventing flare-ups by identifying and avoiding personal triggers and using a combination of gentle skincare and prescription medications, 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, and promptly using prescription medications from Dr. Blas Reyes 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. Reyes will numb the area and remove a small skin sample, which is sent to a lab for microscopic examination to provide a definitive diagnosis.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, typically presents as thick, red, scaly plaques. Eczema, often linked to allergies, manifests as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist's diagnosis is essential for proper treatment.
