What is a Dermatologist?

How often should I get a full-body skin exam?

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 (SPF 30+), seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing will significantly reduce your risk. Avoid tanning beds for a lifetime of healthy skin.

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

While many childhood rashes are minor, if the rash is persistent, spreading, painful, itchy, or accompanied by a fever, it's important to seek a dermatologist's evaluation. Dr. Solomon can effectively diagnose and treat common pediatric conditions like eczema, molluscum, and warts.

What kind of laser treatments do you offer?

Dr. Solomon utilizes various laser treatments for both preventative and restorative skin care. Different lasers can effectively address a range of concerns, including unwanted hair removal, rosacea reduction, sun damage correction, age spot reduction, and acne scar improvement.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure. Dr. Solomon will numb the area and remove a small skin sample, which is then sent to a lab for examination. This allows for a definitive diagnosis of the skin lesion.

What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used?

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

Can you treat warts?

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