What is a Dermatologist?

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

For average-risk individuals, an annual skin exam is recommended. However, patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Jennifer PA-C 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. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ and seeking shade during peak sun hours, along with protective clothing, are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoiding tanning beds also helps prevent skin cancer.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, often manifests as thick, red, scaly plaques. Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is frequently linked to allergies and typically presents as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist's evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.
