Visiting the doctor is never at the top of anyone’s “to-do” list, but it doesn’t have to be dreaded either. Your skin is your largest organ — take care of it! An annual dermatology appointment can help ensure your health and address any concerns you may have.
Here are 5 reasons to book your appointment now.
Receive Accurate Skin Diagnosis and Treatment
Medical dermatologists are trained to diagnose and treat various skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, and more. Whether it’s a common skin problem or a complex condition, we have the expertise to provide accurate diagnoses and effective treatment options.
With real-time conversations and skin checks, you can ask questions without wondering if your panicked Google is leading you down the wrong path. We’ve seen it all and we’re here to help, not judge.
Skin Cancer Detection and Treatment
Skin cancer is a serious health concern, and early detection is crucial. During your annual, we’re able to identify skin cancer symptoms and perform screenings to get ahead of any potential issues. We also provide various treatments for skin cancer, including surgical excisions (like Mohs) and other therapies.
When detected early, skin cancer is highly treatable, and the prognosis is generally very favorable.
Remove Unwanted Skin Lesions Painlessly
We offer specialized procedures for removing skin lesions. Whether it’s cryotherapy for freezing off warts or using techniques like surgical excision or ESKATA (a topical in-office, 40% hydrogen peroxide formula) for other types of skin growths, we can safely and effectively remove bothersome or potentially harmful lesions.
Address Hair and Scalp Conditions
Beyond the skin, we can even diagnose and treat hair and scalp conditions, including hair loss. Whether male or female pattern baldness, alopecia, or other scalp issues, we can provide guidance and treatment options to address these concerns.
There’s nothing to feel ashamed about and our goal is always to help you feel confident and informed about approaching concerns whether it be skin or scalp-related.
Embrace Holistic Skin and Overall Health
Your skin’s health can be indicative of your overall well-being. Dr. Melanie Haynes and Nurse Practitioner Howard Hirschfield are equipped to evaluate the health of your skin, hair, lips, and mouth.
