Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Frank Schiavone:

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 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. Schiavone 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 are crucial for lifelong skin health and preventing skin cancer. Dr. Schiavone and his team are here to help you achieve and maintain healthy skin.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles, smoothing dynamic wrinkles. Dermal fillers, like Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore 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. Schiavone can treat persistent warts with effective in-office procedures like cryotherapy to prevent spreading or pain.

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. Schiavone 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.

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 fever, it's important to schedule a visit with a dermatologist. Common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts can be effectively diagnosed and treated by a dermatologist.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. Schiavone will numb the area and remove a small sample of skin, which is then sent to a lab for examination under a microscope to provide a definitive diagnosis.
