Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Eric Carter:

What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Eric Carter and our team are dermatologists, medical doctors specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. We play a vital role in preventing and detecting 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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Carter may recommend more frequent screenings for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays is key to preventing skin cancer. Simple habits like daily sunscreen use with an SPF of 30 or higher, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing are crucial for lifelong skin health. Avoid tanning beds, as they significantly increase your risk.

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, most commonly on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving healthy tissue, leading to the highest cure rate and smallest possible scar.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

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

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

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

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. Eric Carter 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.

Can you treat warts?

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