What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. They play a vital role in preventing and detecting skin cancer, and managing various 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. For patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Galliani 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 to preventing skin cancer. Simple habits like daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+, seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds can help maintain lifelong skin health.

Can you treat warts?

Yes, warts are common skin infections caused by a virus. While some resolve on their own, Dr. Galliani 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. Galliani will numb the area and remove a small skin sample. The sample is sent to a lab for microscopic examination to provide a definitive diagnosis.
