Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dermatological care with Dr. Rebekah PA-C:

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. 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. However, for patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Rebekah 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. 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 crucial for lifelong skin health.

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a simple, quick in-office procedure to diagnose a skin lesion. Dr. Rebekah PA-C will numb the area and remove a small sample of skin, which is then sent to a lab for microscopic examination to determine a diagnosis.

What are the ABCDEs of melanoma?

The ABCDEs of melanoma are a helpful tool for self-monitoring moles. A stands for asymmetry, B for irregular borders, C for color variations, D for a diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and E for evolving or changing. Using these guidelines can empower you to be a partner in early skin cancer detection.

What is rosacea and how is it managed?

Rosacea is a common chronic condition that causes 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, if needed.

What are Botox® and dermal fillers used for?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm® or Restylane®, add volume to restore youthful contours and fill in static lines.

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

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