Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Brent Schillinger:

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. Schillinger 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 are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Wearing protective clothing and avoiding tanning beds further reduce your risk.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a precancerous skin growth caused by sun exposure. They often appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from potentially developing into 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. Schillinger 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.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

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

Can you treat warts?

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

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.
