Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Dulce Cabrera:

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. Cabrera 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 are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Wearing protective clothing and avoiding tanning beds also significantly reduce your risk.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

Dr. Cabrera encourages you to be an active participant in your skin health. The ABCDEs—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter greater than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are helpful tools for self-monitoring moles. Early detection is key, and by familiarizing yourself with these signs, you can help ensure prompt and appropriate medical attention.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a precancerous skin growth often caused by sun exposure, appearing as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from potentially developing into squamous cell carcinoma.

Can you treat warts?

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

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. Cabrera's approach to chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving quality of life. This includes a range of treatments, from topical steroids and moisturizers to phototherapy and, when necessary, advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation. We work closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

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