Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between clinical dermatology and medical dermatology?
Clinical dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions that affect overall health. Medical dermatology addresses conditions involving complex medical treatments, such as autoimmune skin diseases, severe acne, or skin cancers. Both aim to improve skin health but differ in the scope and complexity of conditions treated.
How often should I get a skin cancer screening?
You should get a skin cancer screening at least once a year, especially if you have risk factors such as fair skin, repeated sunburns, constant sun exposure, or a family history of skin cancer. Your dermatologist may recommend screenings more often if you are at higher risk.
What does a comprehensive skin examination involve?
A comprehensive skin examination involves thoroughly inspecting your skin, scalp, and nails for unusual lesions, moles, or discoloration. The dermatologist will assess the size, shape, and color of any marks and may use a dermatoscope for a closer look. They may recommend further tests, such as a biopsy, for accurate diagnosis.
What should I expect during my first visit to a dermatologist?
The dermatologist will look at your medical history and discuss your concerns during your first visit. They examine your skin and may recommend tests, treatments, or a follow-up visit. Be prepared to share information about your symptoms, skincare routine, medications, and previous treatments.
When should I see a dermatologist instead of my primary care doctor for skin concerns?
You should see a dermatologist if you have persistent or unusual skin issues, such as severe acne, chronic rashes, unexplained hair loss, or moles with size, shape, or color changes. Dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating complex skin conditions and can provide more advanced care than a primary care doctor.
How do dermatologists diagnose skin conditions?
Dermatologists use a combination of patient history, visual examination, and diagnostic tests to identify skin conditions. They may use tools like a dermatoscope or perform a skin biopsy to examine tissue samples under a microscope for a more accurate diagnosis.
