A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Jennifer Stroble provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Scabies: Managing scabies promptly minimizes the spread to others and lessens the risk of complications like skin infections from scratching.
• Sunburn: Sunburn is a sign that your skin has been overexposed to ultraviolet radiation, making you more susceptible to sun damage and increasing your risk of skin cancer later in life.
• Itchy Skin: Itchy skin might seem minor, but consistent itching can lead to skin irritation and infection; proactive management is key for preventing these complications.
• Pemphigus: While there's no known way to prevent pemphigus, regular dermatological check-ups can lead to early diagnosis and treatment, allowing for better disease control and preventing long-term health issues.
• Pityriasis Rosea: Although pityriasis rosea typically resolves without treatment, early identification helps differentiate it from other skin conditions that may require specific therapies, thus enabling timely intervention.
• Folliculitis: Managing folliculitis effectively reduces the risk of recurrent outbreaks and helps preserve the overall health of your skin.
• Dermatitis Herpetiformis: Dermatitis herpetiformis is a chronic, itchy skin rash linked to celiac disease, and early diagnosis through skin biopsies and blood tests helps prevent long-term skin damage and nutritional deficiencies.
• Acne: Acne, if left untreated, can lead to persistent inflammation and scarring; proactive management ensures clear, healthy skin.
• Psoriasis Vulgaris: Understanding your risk factors for psoriasis vulgaris and taking steps to manage the condition helps prevent its progression and associated health issues.
• Bullous Pemphigoid: Understanding your risk factors and recognizing the symptoms of bullous pemphigoid are crucial for early detection, which enables quicker treatment and minimizes potential long-term skin problems.
• Pemphigoid: Preventing long-term skin damage from pemphigoid involves promptly seeing a doctor for diagnosis and following their treatment plan to reduce blistering and discomfort.
• Shingles: Shingles, caused by the chickenpox virus, can be prevented with the shingles vaccine, protecting you from its painful rash and potential long-term nerve damage.

What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Stroble and our team of dermatologists are medical doctors specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. We play a critical role in preventing and detecting 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. Stroble 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. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Wearing protective clothing and avoiding tanning beds are also important.

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

What is a skin biopsy?

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

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, presents as thick, red, scaly plaques, while eczema, often linked to allergies, typically appears as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist's evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. Stroble's approach to chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving quality of life. We use a range of treatments, from topical medications like steroids and moisturizers to advanced biologic therapies that target the underlying inflammation. Our goal is to tailor a treatment plan that best meets each patient's individual needs.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a pre-cancerous skin growth that often appears as rough, sandpaper-like patches, usually caused by long-term sun exposure. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from developing into squamous cell carcinoma.
