Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Robert Daze:

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, detecting, and treating skin cancer, as well as 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. Daze 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. 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 of skin cancer. Avoiding tanning beds is also important for lifelong skin health.

What is a skin biopsy?

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

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

While many childhood rashes are minor, you should see Dr. Daze if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever. Dr. Daze can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. Daze's approach to chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving your quality of life. We utilize a range of treatments, from topical therapies like steroids and moisturizers, to phototherapy and, when necessary, advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation. This personalized strategy is tailored to your specific needs and condition.

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. Daze 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, smoothing dynamic wrinkles like frown lines. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore youthful contours and fill in static lines.
