Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Mariano Busso:

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 treating skin cancer and managing various 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. Busso 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 to preventing skin cancer. Simple habits like using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing can significantly reduce your risk. Avoid tanning beds for a lifetime of healthy skin.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

The ABCDEs of melanoma—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter greater than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are a helpful self-monitoring tool. Recognizing these features can empower you to notice any potential changes in moles, allowing for early detection and prompt medical evaluation. Early detection significantly improves melanoma treatment outcomes. Please schedule a skin check with Dr. Busso if you notice any suspicious changes.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition causing facial redness, flushing, and sometimes bumps or pimples. Management focuses on preventing flare-ups by identifying personal triggers and using a combination of gentle skincare and, when necessary, prescription medications.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

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

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a precancerous skin growth often caused by long-term sun exposure. They frequently appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs is important for preventing skin cancer, as a small percentage can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated.
