Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Liza Brown:

What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Liza Brown and her team are medical doctors specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. They 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. Dr. Brown 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+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours are simple habits. Wearing protective clothing and avoiding tanning beds further contribute to lifelong skin health.

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

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Liza Brown 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.

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 gentle skincare and, if needed, prescription medications.

Can you treat warts?

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

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

Dr. Brown's practice encourages you to become an active participant in your skin health. The ABCDEs—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are a helpful self-monitoring tool for moles. Recognizing these features can empower you to bring any suspicious changes to our attention for prompt evaluation.

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. Brown 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.
