Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Jon Morgan:

What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Jon Morgan and our team of dermatologists are medical doctors specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. We play a vital role 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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Jon Morgan 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. 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 of skin cancer. Avoiding tanning beds is also important for lifelong skin health.

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 often on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while minimizing the removal of healthy tissue, leading to a high cure rate and a smaller scar.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition causing facial redness, flushing, and sometimes bumps or pimples. Management focuses on preventing flare-ups by identifying and avoiding personal triggers and using gentle skincare and, when needed, prescription medications.

What is a skin biopsy?

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

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. Morgan's approach to chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving quality of life. We utilize a range of treatments, from topical steroids and moisturizers to advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation.
