• Intertrigo: Intertrigo, a skin rash in skin folds, can be easily prevented with proactive measures like maintaining cleanliness and dryness, minimizing the risk of painful infections and inflammation.
• Itchy Skin: Persistent itchy skin can be a sign of an underlying skin condition, so addressing it early helps prevent further complications and potential long-term health issues.

• Lichen Simplex Chronicus: Lichen simplex chronicus is a chronic skin condition best managed by breaking the itch-scratch cycle to avoid persistent skin damage and improve your quality of life.
• Hair Loss: Hair loss can signal underlying health issues, so early detection and addressing the root cause are crucial for preventing further complications and preserving overall well-being.
• Skin Cancer: Regularly examining your skin for unusual moles, spots, or sores can help detect skin cancer in its early stages, when treatment is most effective.
• Rash: Rashes, whether itchy or painless, warrant attention as they could indicate an infection or allergic reaction; prompt medical evaluation helps manage the condition effectively.
• Folliculitis: Folliculitis, an inflammation of hair follicles, often responds well to early treatment, preventing potential scarring and infection.
• Hypertrophic Scar: A hypertrophic scar is a raised, thick scar that forms after an injury, and understanding its development helps prevent further skin damage and promotes healing.
• Warts: Managing warts promptly helps prevent their spread to other areas of your body and reduces the risk of secondary infections, promoting your overall skin health.
• Herpes Simplex Infection: Early detection of herpes simplex infection helps initiate prompt treatment, minimizing its duration and lowering the risk of transmission to loved ones.
• Actinic Keratosis: Actinic keratosis is a precancerous skin lesion caused by sun exposure that can develop into skin cancer if left untreated, highlighting the importance of regular skin checks and sun protection.

What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Hannah Berman and our team are dermatologists—medical doctors specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. We are experts in preventing, detecting, and treating skin cancer, and in 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. Berman 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 (SPF 30+), seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer. These are important steps for lifelong skin health.

What is a skin biopsy?

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

Can you treat warts?

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

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, often on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving healthy tissue, resulting in the highest cure rate and smallest scar possible.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that causes facial redness, flushing, and sometimes bumps or pimples. Management focuses on preventing flare-ups by identifying and avoiding personal triggers and using a combination of gentle skincare and prescription medications as needed.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Berman's practice utilizes various laser treatments for both preventative and restorative purposes. Different lasers are employed to address diverse concerns, including unwanted hair removal, rosacea reduction, sun damage mitigation, age spot correction, and acne scar reduction.
