Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Debra Price:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. They play a vital role in preventing, detecting, and treating skin cancer, as well as 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. For patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or many moles, Dr. Price 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 are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Protective clothing and avoiding tanning beds further reduce your risk.

Can you treat warts?

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

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic 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 prescription medications as needed.

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

While many childhood rashes are minor, you should see Dr. Price if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever. Dr. Price can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. Price's approach to chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving quality of life. We utilize a range of treatments, from topical steroids and moisturizers to advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation. A personalized treatment plan is developed for each patient, considering their specific needs and condition severity.

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

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