Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Stephen Mandy:

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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Mandy 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 Mohs surgery, and why is it used?

Mohs surgery is a highly precise surgical technique used to remove certain types of skin cancer, often on the face and neck. Its key advantage is that it removes all cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, resulting in a high cure rate and a minimal scar.

Can you treat warts?

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

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

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

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition causing facial redness, flushing, and sometimes bumps or pimples. Management focuses on preventing flare-ups by identifying and avoiding personal triggers, and using a combination of gentle skincare and prescription medications as needed.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous skin growths caused by sun damage. They often appear as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from developing into skin cancer.
