Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Jorge Moya:

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, as well as 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. Dr. Moya may recommend more frequent screenings for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or those with many moles, to facilitate early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun is key. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ along with seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds are simple habits to maintain lifelong skin health and reduce your risk of skin cancer.

How can I prevent my eczema from flaring up?

Managing eczema involves proactive prevention. Daily moisturizing with a thick, fragrance-free cream, avoiding known triggers, and promptly using prescription medications from Dr. Moya's office at the first sign of a flare are key strategies.

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 helpful tools for self-monitoring moles. By recognizing these features, you can be an active participant in early detection of skin cancer, working in partnership with your dermatologist. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes. Regular skin checks are crucial for your health.

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?

Psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, presents as thick, red, scaly plaques. Eczema, often linked to allergies, typically appears as dry, intensely itchy, red patches. A dermatologist can accurately diagnose and recommend the best treatment.

What is an actinic keratosis (AK)?

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a pre-cancerous skin growth often caused by sun exposure, appearing as rough, sandpaper-like patches. Treating AKs prevents a small percentage from potentially progressing to squamous cell carcinoma.

I have acne. Is it something I just have to live with?

Acne is a treatable medical condition, not something you have to live with. Dr. Moya can create a personalized treatment plan, which may include topical creams, oral medications, and procedural options, to prevent scarring and improve your skin and confidence.
