Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Gina Sevigny:

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 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. Sevigny 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. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours, along with protective clothing, are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial.

Can you treat warts?

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

My child has a rash. When should we see a dermatologist?

While many childhood rashes are minor, Dr. Sevigny recommends seeing a dermatologist if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever. Dr. Sevigny can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric skin conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. Sevigny will numb the area and remove a small sample of skin. The sample is sent to a lab for examination, allowing for a definitive diagnosis.

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. It's key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, resulting in the highest cure rate and smallest scar.

I'm experiencing hair loss. Can a dermatologist help?

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Sevigny can perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose the specific type of hair loss (alopecia) and recommend effective treatments to prevent further loss and encourage regrowth.
