Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Nicole Conrad:

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

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from sun damage is key to preventing skin cancer. Simple habits like daily broad-spectrum sunscreen use, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing can significantly reduce your risk. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial for long-term skin health.

Can you treat warts?

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

What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used?

Mohs surgery is a highly precise surgical technique used to remove certain types of skin cancer, most commonly on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving healthy tissue, leading to the highest cure rate and smallest possible scar.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. Conrad will numb the area and remove a small sample of skin. The sample is sent to a lab for examination, providing a definitive diagnosis.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

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

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a precancerous skin growth often caused by sun exposure. They frequently appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches on the skin. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from potentially becoming squamous cell carcinoma.
