Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Marianne Carroll:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating 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. Dr. Carroll 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 to preventing skin cancer. Simple habits like daily broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+, seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds can significantly reduce your risk. These are easy steps to incorporate into your daily routine for lifelong skin health.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

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

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's evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Can you treat warts?

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

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

Yes, dermatologists are experts in hair and scalp disorders (trichology). Dr. Marianne Carroll can perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose the specific type of hair loss and recommend effective treatments to prevent further loss and encourage regrowth.

What is a skin biopsy?

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