Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Daniel Croom:

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 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. For patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Croom 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 use, seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds are important for lifelong skin health. Dr. Croom and his team are here to help you achieve healthy skin for years to come.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. Croom will numb the area and remove a small sample of skin. The sample is then sent to a lab for examination, allowing for a definitive diagnosis.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Managing eczema flares proactively is key. Daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding known triggers, and promptly using prescription medications from Dr. Croom's office at the first sign of a flare can help prevent worsening.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

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

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. Croom's approach to chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving quality of life. We utilize a range of treatments, from topical therapies like steroids and moisturizers, to phototherapy, and, when necessary, advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation. Individualized treatment plans are developed to best address each patient's specific needs.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, often manifests as thick, red, scaly plaques. Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is frequently linked to allergies and typically presents as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist can accurately diagnose and recommend the best treatment plan.
