What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Koreman and our dermatology team are medical doctors specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. We 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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Koreman 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 protective clothing, are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds is also important.

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.

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. Koreman can create a personalized treatment plan, including topical creams, oral medications, and procedures, to prevent scarring and improve your skin and confidence.

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

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Koreman utilizes various lasers for a range of skin concerns. These treatments can be used to address unwanted hair, rosacea, sun damage, age spots, and acne scars. Different lasers are tailored to specific needs, providing both preventive and restorative benefits.
