Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Jordana Herschthal:

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 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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Herschthal 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, seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds can significantly reduce your risk. These are easy lifestyle choices that contribute to lifelong skin health.

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

We tailor treatment plans for chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema to each patient's needs. This may include topical therapies like steroids and moisturizers, phototherapy, and oral medications. In some cases, advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation are also utilized. Our goal is to work collaboratively to minimize flare-ups and maximize your comfort.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, presents as thick, red, scaly plaques. Eczema, often linked to allergies, typically appears as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist can accurately diagnose and recommend the best treatment.

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. Herschthal 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.

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 kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Herschthal utilizes various laser technologies for both preventive and restorative purposes. Different lasers are employed to address a range of concerns, including unwanted hair removal, rosacea reduction, sun damage mitigation, age spot improvement, and acne scar minimization.
