Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Jeremy Sunseri:

What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Sunseri and our team of dermatologists are medical doctors specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. We're experts in preventing, detecting, and treating skin cancer, and in 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. Sunseri 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 broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing can significantly reduce your risk. Avoid tanning beds for a lifetime of healthy skin.

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, primarily on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, leading to a high cure rate and a smaller scar.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Managing eczema proactively is key. Daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding triggers like harsh soaps or allergens, and promptly using prescription medications from Dr. Sunseri's office at the first sign of a flare can help prevent worsening.

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

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not something you have to live with. Dr. Sunseri can create a personalized treatment plan, which may include topical creams, oral medications, and procedural options, to prevent scarring and improve your skin and confidence.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic 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, if needed.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

Dr. Sunseri's practice encourages patients to be proactive in skin cancer detection. The ABCDEs—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are helpful tools for self-monitoring moles. Knowing these features can empower you to bring any suspicious changes to the attention of Dr. Sunseri for prompt evaluation.
