When Should I Visit a Dermatologist?

There is never a bad time to visit your dermatologist. If you haven't been in a while and you feel like you need a check-up of some sort, then it's a perfectly fine time to visit. However, whenever it comes to skin conditions, then that is when you should most certainly visit your dermatologist. Here are some examples of skin conditions that should give you an idea of when you should come visit us:

  • Rosacea. You have begun to develop pustules and/or redness around your facial areas out of nowhere. This can be caused by stress, harsh weather, or more. Topical treatments can help mitigate its harmful effects.
  • Warts. You have noticed that a large wart has begun to develop on your nose or cheeks. This can severely hurt your self confidence and should be taken care of immediately. Warts are viral and are oftentimes common in young children. While some warts do go away on their own, others are more persistent and require help from a dermatologist.
  • Dandruff. It can feel embarrassing to have flakes fall from your head whenever you move. This is due to dry skin on your scalp. We can provide expert dermatology services to help you mitigate this problem.
