• Vitiligo: Vitiligo is a skin condition causing loss of skin color, and consistent skincare, including sun protection and possibly depigmentation treatments, prevents further complications and improves quality of life.
• Herpes Simplex Infection: Herpes simplex infection, often causing cold sores or genital herpes, can be managed with antiviral medications to reduce outbreaks and prevent complications like eye infections or spread to others.
• Intertrigo: Managing intertrigo effectively involves good hygiene practices and keeping skin folds dry to avoid prolonged inflammation and potential scarring, safeguarding your long-term skin health.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. John Minni:

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, 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. Dr. Minni may recommend more frequent screenings for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun is key. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds is also important.

Can you treat warts?

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

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a precancerous skin growth often caused by sun exposure. They frequently appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from potentially developing into squamous cell carcinoma.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Minni's practice utilizes various laser technologies for both preventative and restorative skin treatments. Different lasers are used to address a wide range of concerns, including unwanted hair removal, rosacea reduction, sun damage correction, age spot reduction, and acne scar improvement.

I'm experiencing hair loss. Can a dermatologist help?

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Minni can perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose the specific type of hair loss (alopecia) and recommend effective treatments to prevent further loss and encourage regrowth.

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. Minni can create a personalized treatment plan to prevent scarring and improve your skin and confidence, which may include topical creams, oral medications, and procedural options.
