The Health Conditions Our Dermatologist May Diagnose
Dermatologists are best known for their expertise in skincare. A dermatologist can prescribe medication for common skin issues such as acne, dark spots, and concerns related to aging.
However, the dermatologist’s most important services may be related to their ability to spot serious health issues early.
Skin cancer is the most prevalent form of that disease in the United States and thousands of people die from it annually. That’s an especially troubling statistic because skin cancer is highly treatable if it is detected early. Pay regular visits to the dermatologist so they can check your skin for any signs of cancer.
Our dermatologist can also help you deal with certain skin conditions that cause significant discomfort.
Psoriasis is one example of those uncomfortable skin conditions. It’s a condition that causes your skin to become very itchy. The aforementioned disorder also transforms the appearance of skin in a way you probably won’t like.
Eczema is similarly problematic and it is characterized by plenty of swollen and itchy skin. Parents need to be on guard against eczema because it commonly affects children.
Those are just some of the most notable conditions that your dermatologist can help treat. Check-in regularly with them if you wish to avoid those issues.

What Happens During Dermatologist Visits?
If you’ve never been to a dermatologist before, you may have a tough time going through with your first visit. Some people may be hesitant to mention the issues they have with their skin to someone they don’t know. Rest assured that your dermatologist is there to help and they will offer no judgment.
During your first visit, your dermatologist will ask you about your medical history. Mention as much as you can about your medical history so our dermatologist can watch out for certain things more closely.
After the interview, our dermatologist will likely ask you to change into a hospital gown so they can examine your skin thoroughly. Expect them to perform a full-body check-up even if you mentioned a specific issue.
Our dermatologist may then prescribe medication or certain forms of treatment if you do have a skin condition of some kind. If you don’t have a condition, you can head home and check back in with your dermatologist at a later date.
