Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Nashay Clemetson:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. 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. Clemetson 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, and wearing protective clothing can significantly reduce your risk. Avoid tanning beds for lifelong skin health.

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

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. Clemetson's approach to chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving quality of life. We utilize a range of treatments, from topical steroids and moisturizers to advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Managing eczema proactively is key. Daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding triggers like harsh soaps or allergens, and promptly using prescription medications from Dr. Clemetson's office at the first sign of a flare can help prevent worsening.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. Clemetson will numb the area and remove a small skin sample. This sample is sent to a lab for microscopic examination 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, usually appears as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist can accurately diagnose and recommend the best treatment plan.
