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

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, as well as managing numerous skin diseases.

How often should I get a full-body skin exam?

For average-risk individuals, an annual skin exam is recommended. Dr. Rudnick may recommend more frequent screenings for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or those with many moles, to aid in early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from sun damage is key to preventing skin cancer. Simple habits like daily broad-spectrum sunscreen use, seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds can significantly reduce your risk. These daily practices are important for lifelong skin health.

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

Can you treat warts?

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

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

The ABCDEs of melanoma—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are a helpful self-monitoring tool. By regularly checking your moles for these features, you can work with your dermatologist to identify any potential issues early on. Early detection is key to successful treatment, so become familiar with these characteristics and consult us if you have any concerns.

What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used?

Mohs surgery is a highly precise surgical technique used to remove certain skin cancers, most commonly on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, leading to the highest cure rate and smallest scar.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a pre-cancerous skin growth often caused by long-term sun exposure. They frequently appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches on the skin. Treating AKs is important because a small percentage can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated.
