For average-risk individuals, an annual skin exam is recommended as a vital preventive measure. Dr. Kaszycki 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 sun damage is key to preventing skin cancer. Simple habits like using broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing will help maintain lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds is also important.

Dr. Kaszycki utilizes various lasers for both preventive and restorative purposes. Different lasers are tailored to address specific concerns, including unwanted hair removal, rosacea reduction, sun damage correction, age spot treatment, and acne scar reduction.

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

The ABCDEs of melanoma—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are helpful tools for self-monitoring moles. Recognizing these features can empower you to be a partner in early skin cancer detection. Early diagnosis is key to successful treatment.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous skin growths that often appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches, caused by long-term sun exposure. Treating them is important because a small percentage can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated.
