Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Jean McClintock:

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, 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. McClintock may recommend more frequent screenings 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 using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds can significantly reduce your risk. These are easy lifestyle choices that contribute to lifelong skin health.

What is a skin biopsy?

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

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a pre-cancerous skin growth caused by long-term sun exposure. They often appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs is important because a small percentage can become squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition causing 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.

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. McClintock's approach to chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving quality of life. We utilize a range of treatments, from topical therapies like steroids and moisturizers, to phototherapy, and, when necessary, advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation. Our goal is to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Can you treat warts?

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