FAQs
What’s a dermatologist?
A dermatologist is a physician who has completed several years of training and specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. There are thousands of conditions they manage — ranging from acne, eczema and skin cancers to cosmetic concerns.
What are the most common types of skin cancer?
Skin cancers include squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell cancer and melanoma.
A dermatologist can provide screenings, diagnosis, education about prevention and treatment for skin cancer.
What’s Mohs surgery?
Mohs surgery is a highly precise, tissue-sparing technique used to treat skin cancers. Your surgeon removes the tumor in stages, examining the tissue at each stage to make sure all the cancer cells are removed. It has the highest cure rate of any skin cancer treatment.
What’s hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)?
Sweating is completely normal, especially during physical activity or a stressful situation. However, if you’re sweating more than normal or when you shouldn’t be, a dermatologist can help.
What’s hidradenitis suppurativa?
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful lumps under the skin, usually in areas where skin rubs together. Our Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating HS.
Do you offer cosmetic dermatology?
Yes — from laser hair removal and Botox to treatments for sun damage and signs of aging, our cosmetic dermatologists offer a range of services.
When should I see a doctor about a mole?
Atypical moles, or unusual-looking moles, are benign (not cancerous) and can occur anywhere on the body. However, having atypical moles can increase your risk of melanoma, so being aware of them means you can talk with a dermatologist about any changes you see.
When examining your skin, remember the ABCDE rules for melanoma:
- Asymmetry: One half of the mole doesn’t match the other.
- Border: The edges are jagged, blurred or irregular.
- Color: The mole has multiple shades of tan, brown, black or even blue and red.
- Diameter: The spot is larger than a pencil eraser (though some cancers are smaller).
- Evolving: The mole is changing in size, shape or color over time.
Notice a spot that’s changing, itching or bleeding — or that matches any of the ABCDE criteria? Your primary doctor can take a look and help you decide if you need a specialist.
