Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Fahad Siddiqui:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. They play a vital role in preventing, detecting, 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. Siddiqui 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 lower your risk of skin cancer. These are easy steps for lifelong skin health.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

The ABCDEs of melanoma—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter greater than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are a valuable tool for self-monitoring moles. By recognizing these features, you can help detect skin cancer early, empowering you to partner with your dermatologist in proactive skin health. Regular skin checks and reporting any changes to your dermatologist are essential.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Eczema management is about proactive prevention. Key strategies include daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding known triggers like harsh soaps or allergens, and using prescription medications from Dr. Siddiqui's practice at the first sign of a flare to prevent it from worsening.

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 often on the face and neck. It's 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.

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. Siddiqui 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. Siddiqui can treat persistent warts with effective in-office procedures like cryotherapy to prevent spreading or pain.
