Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. David Aung-Din:

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 critical 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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Aung-Din 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+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours, along with wearing protective clothing, are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoid tanning beds to further reduce your risk.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

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

What is a skin biopsy?

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

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

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not something you have to live with. Dr. Aung-Din 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.

Can you treat warts?

Yes, warts are common skin infections caused by a virus. While some resolve on their own, Dr. Aung-Din 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. Conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts are common pediatric issues a dermatologist can effectively diagnose and treat.
