Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Jacob Kalmanson:

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 variety 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. Kalmanson may recommend more frequent screenings for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun with daily broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+), seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds also significantly reduces your risk.

Can you treat warts?

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

What is a skin biopsy?

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

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes facial muscles, smoothing out dynamic wrinkles like frown lines. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore youthful contours and fill in static lines.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, typically presents as thick, red, scaly plaques. Eczema, often linked to allergies, usually appears as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist can accurately diagnose and recommend the best treatment.

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