Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Yvonne Romagosa:

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 as a vital preventive measure. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Romagosa 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 long-term skin health.

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. Romagosa's office at the first sign of a flare to prevent it from worsening.

What is a skin biopsy?

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

How do you treat chronic conditions like psoriasis or eczema?

Dr. Romagosa and her team employ a comprehensive approach to managing chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. This includes a range of treatments, from topical therapies like steroids and moisturizers, to phototherapy and, when necessary, advanced biologic medications that target the underlying inflammation. The goal is to prevent flares and improve your overall quality of life.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

The ABCDEs of melanoma—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing—are a valuable self-monitoring tool. By recognizing these features, you can work with your dermatologist to detect skin changes early. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes. Knowing these characteristics empowers you to be an active participant in your 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 preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, resulting in the highest cure rate and smallest possible scar.
