Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Fleta Bray:

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 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 as a vital preventive measure. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Fleta Bray 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 sunscreen use, 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.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Managing eczema proactively is key. Daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding triggers like harsh soaps, and using prescription medications from Dr. Fleta Bray at the first sign of a flare can help prevent it from worsening.

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 tool for self-monitoring moles. By paying attention to these features, you can become an active participant in early detection, working alongside your dermatologist to ensure the best possible skin health. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

We tailor treatment plans for chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema to each patient's needs. This may involve topical therapies like steroids and moisturizers, phototherapy, or oral medications. In some cases, advanced biologic medications targeting underlying inflammation are used. Our goal is to minimize flares and improve your overall quality of life.

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.

Can you treat warts?

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