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, detecting, and treating skin cancer, and manage 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. For patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Eliahou Cohen 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, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer. These are easy ways to maintain lifelong skin health.

Can you treat warts?

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

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

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

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Managing eczema proactively is key. Daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding known triggers, and promptly using prescription medications from Dr. Eliahou Cohen's office at the first sign of a flare can help prevent worsening.

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

While many childhood rashes are minor, if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever, it's important to see a dermatologist. Dr. Cohen can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

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