Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Dinah Warner:

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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Warner 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. Simple habits like daily broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing will significantly reduce your risk. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial for lifelong skin health.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a pre-cancerous skin growth often caused by sun exposure. They typically appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs is important because a small percentage can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if not addressed.

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, primarily on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving healthy tissue, leading to a high cure rate and minimal scarring.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Warner utilizes various laser treatments for both preventative and restorative purposes. Different lasers are used to address a range of concerns, including unwanted hair removal, rosacea reduction, sun damage improvement, age spot reduction, and acne scar minimization.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic condition that 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, if needed.

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

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