Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Madelyn Lipman:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. They are crucial 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. For patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Lipman 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. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours, along with wearing protective clothing, are simple habits to maintain lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds is also important.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

The ABCDEs of melanoma—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are a helpful self-monitoring tool. By recognizing these signs, you can partner with us in the early detection of skin cancer. Regular skin checks and prompt reporting of any changes are key to successful treatment.

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 commonly 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 the highest cure rate and smallest possible scar.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

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

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, and promptly using prescription medications from Dr. Lipman's office at the first sign of a flare can help prevent worsening.

My child has a rash. When should we see a dermatologist?

While many childhood rashes are minor, if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever, it's important to see a dermatologist. Dr. Lipman can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.
