Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Marie Hayes:

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 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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Hayes 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 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 for lifelong skin health.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles to smooth out dynamic wrinkles, while dermal fillers like Juvéderm® or Restylane® add volume to restore youthful contours and fill in static lines.

Can you treat warts?

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

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 seek a dermatologist's evaluation. Dr. Hayes can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.

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 a combination of gentle skincare and, if needed, prescription medications.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition causing thick, red, scaly plaques, while eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is often related to allergies and typically presents as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist's evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
