Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Maryann Mikhail:

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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Maryann Mikhail 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 to incorporate into your daily routine for lifelong skin health.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

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

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure to diagnose a skin lesion. Dr. Mikhail 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.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

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

I have acne. Is it something I just have to live with?

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not something you have to live with. Dr. Mikhail can create a personalized treatment plan to prevent scarring and improve your skin and confidence, which may include topical creams, oral medications, and procedural options.

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

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