Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Dahlia Saleh:

What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Dahlia Saleh and our team are dermatologists, medical doctors specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. We play a vital role in preventing, detecting, and treating skin cancer, and managing numerous 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. Saleh 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 a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours, along with protective clothing, are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds also significantly reduces your risk.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Managing eczema proactively is key. Daily moisturizing with a fragrance-free cream, avoiding triggers like harsh soaps, and using prescription medications from Dr. Dahlia Saleh at the first sign of a flare can prevent worsening.

My child has a rash. When should we see a dermatologist?

While many childhood rashes are minor, it's important to see a dermatologist if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever. Dr. Saleh can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.

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 healthy tissue, leading to a high cure rate and minimal scarring.

Can you treat warts?

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

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic condition that causes 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.
