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

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, 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. Lott 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, and wearing protective clothing can significantly reduce your risk. Avoiding tanning beds is also crucial for lifelong skin health.

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 minimizing the removal of 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. Lott will numb the area and remove a small sample of skin, which is then sent to a lab for examination. This allows for a definitive diagnosis of the skin lesion.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles to smooth out dynamic wrinkles like frown lines. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore youthful contours and fill in static lines.

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. Lott's approach to chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema is comprehensive, focusing on preventing flares and improving quality of life. This involves a range of treatments, from topical medications like steroids and moisturizers to phototherapy and, in some cases, advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation. He will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Eczema management is about proactive prevention. Key strategies include daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding known triggers, and using prescription medications from Dr. Robert Lott's practice at the first sign of a flare to prevent it from worsening.
