Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Gregory Barron:

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 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. Gregory Barron 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, and wearing protective clothing can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial for lifelong skin health.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Barron utilizes various laser technologies for both preventative and restorative skin treatments. Different lasers are employed to address a range of concerns, including unwanted hair removal, rosacea reduction, sun damage mitigation, age spot improvement, and acne scar minimization.

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

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Gregory Barron 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.

I have acne. Is it something I just have to live with?

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not a personal failing. Dr. Barron 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. Barron 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, if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever, it's important to schedule a visit with Dr. Barron. He can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.
