What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Jacquelyn Medina and our team are dermatologists, medical doctors specializing in diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions. We play a vital role in preventing, detecting, 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. Dr. Medina may recommend more frequent screenings for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or those with many moles, for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from sun damage is key to preventing skin cancer. 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. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial for lifelong skin health.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a pre-cancerous skin growth often caused by sun exposure, appearing as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from progressing to squamous cell carcinoma.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. Medina 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.

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

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not a personal failing. Dr. Medina can create a personalized treatment plan, including topical creams, oral medications, and procedural options, to prevent scarring and improve your skin and confidence.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Medina utilizes various lasers for both preventive and restorative purposes. Different lasers are used to address a wide range of concerns, including unwanted hair removal, rosacea reduction, sun damage improvement, age spot reduction, and acne scar minimization.

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