FAQs
Clearing your doubts
You should consider seeing a dermatologist if you have any concerns or conditions related to your skin, hair, nails, or mucous membranes. This includes issues such as acne, rashes, suspicious moles, hair loss, fungal infections, or chronic skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. A dermatologist can provide a proper diagnosis, recommend appropriate treatments, and offer guidance for maintaining healthy skin.
To prevent skin cancer, it is important to protect your skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. This includes wearing sunscreen with a high SPF, seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding excessive sun exposure, especially during peak hours. Regular self- examinations of the skin and annual skin screenings by a dermatologist are also crucial for early detection of skin cancer.
Cosmetic procedures performed by qualified dermatologists are generally safe when performed correctly. Dermatologists are trained to assess the suitability of procedures based on an individual's skin type, medical history, and specific goals. It is important to consult with a board- certified dermatologist to ensure proper evaluation, informed decision-making, and safe execution of cosmetic procedures.
Management of common skin conditions like acne or eczema may involve a combination of approaches. Dermatologists may recommend specific topical treatments, oral medications, lifestyle modifications, or procedural interventions depending on the severity and individual factors. It is important to follow the dermatologist's instructions, maintain a consistent skincare routine, and attend regular follow-up appointments for optimal management of these conditions.
