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

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun is key. Simple habits like daily broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+), seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer. Avoid tanning beds for a lifetime of healthy skin.

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

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous skin growths caused by sun exposure. They often appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches on the skin. Treating AKs is crucial for preventing skin cancer, as a small percentage can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition often 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, as needed.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?
