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

What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. King and our team are dermatologists, meaning we are medical doctors specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. We play a vital role in preventing 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. King 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+ is crucial, along with seeking shade during peak sun hours and wearing protective clothing. Avoiding tanning beds is also vital for lifelong skin health.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

The ABCDEs of melanoma—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are a helpful tool for self-monitoring moles. Recognizing these features can empower you to be a partner in early detection, allowing for prompt medical attention if needed. By knowing the ABCDEs, you can help ensure any suspicious skin changes are addressed promptly. Early detection is key to successful treatment.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. King will numb the area and remove a small sample of skin, which is then sent to a lab for examination under a microscope to provide a definitive diagnosis.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

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

I have acne. Is it something I just have to live with?

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not a personal failing. Dr. King 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.

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. King's approach to chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving your quality of life. We utilize a range of treatments, including topical therapies like steroids and moisturizers, as well as phototherapy and, when necessary, advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation. This personalized strategy is tailored to your specific needs and condition.
