What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. They are crucial 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. For patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Fromowitz 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 daily sunscreen use (SPF 30+), seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds can significantly reduce your risk. These are easy steps for lifelong skin health.

Can you treat warts?

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

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

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

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