How Regular Dermatology Visits Can Help You
Your dermatologist is focused on you and provides customized skincare. During a regular dermatology visit, your dermatologist will examine your skin, looking for abnormalities, early signs of aging, and potential signs of skin cancer. Regular dermatology visits can help detect early signs of skin cancer by identifying:
- Large moles, with a diameter greater than 6 millimeters
- Irregular moles, with ragged borders
- New moles, or moles that have grown back after previous removal
- Changes in size, shape, or color to existing moles
Your dermatologist might recommend a biopsy to determine if cancerous cells are present. Other skin conditions your dermatologist might identify and treat during a regular dermatology visit include:
- Rashes, which can be treated with anti-itch medications like cortisone cream
- Acne, which can be treated with tretinoin, laser therapy, and other services
- Psoriasis and eczema, which can be treated with a variety of topical, injectable or oral therapy
During a regular dermatology visit, your dermatologist may also recommend several treatments to diminish the early signs of aging.
