Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Danyelle Dawes:

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. Dr. Dawes may recommend more frequent screenings for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or those with many moles, to facilitate 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+ along with seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds are simple habits for lifelong skin health. These steps can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer.

Can you treat warts?

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

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. Dawes can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.

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

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not a personal failing. Dr. Dawes 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 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 as much healthy tissue as possible, leading to a higher cure rate and a smaller scar.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition causing facial redness, flushing, and sometimes bumps or pimples. Management focuses on preventing flare-ups by identifying and avoiding personal triggers and using gentle skincare and, when needed, prescription medications.
