• Tinea Versicolor: Managing tinea versicolor effectively reduces the risk of secondary infections and helps maintain healthy skin.

• Seborrheic Keratosis: Seborrheic keratoses are common, benign skin growths that usually don't require treatment, but regular skin checks help ensure they don't get confused with more serious conditions.
• Varicose Eczema: Varicose eczema, a type of eczema worsened by varicose veins, highlights the importance of managing circulatory health to prevent skin complications.

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. Dr. Lombardi may recommend more frequent screenings for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or those with many moles, for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun is key. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ along with seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Dr. Lombardi and his team are here to help you maintain healthy skin.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Lombardi's practice uses various lasers for both preventive and restorative purposes. Different lasers are utilized to address a wide range of concerns, including unwanted hair removal, rosacea reduction, sun damage improvement, age spot reduction, and acne scar minimization.

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. Lombardi can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.

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. Lombardi can create a personalized treatment plan, which may include topical creams, oral medications, and procedural options, to prevent scarring and improve your skin and confidence.

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 youthful contours and fill in static lines.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

The ABCDEs of melanoma—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are a helpful tool for self-monitoring moles. Recognizing these features can empower you to notice potential changes early, allowing for prompt professional evaluation and potentially saving lives. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
