- What is a Dermatologist?
- Dr. Schwartzberg is a medical doctor specializing in skin, hair, and nail conditions. She diagnoses and treats a wide range of issues, including skin cancer, chronic skin conditions, and age-related skin changes. Her expertise is vital for maintaining healthy and comfortable skin in older adults.
- How often should I get a full-body skin exam?
- We strongly recommend a full-body skin exam with Dr. Schwartzberg at least once a year. For seniors with a history of skin cancer or many moles, Dr. Schwartzberg may recommend more frequent checks. This is the single most important step in catching skin cancer early, when it's most treatable.
- What changes in a mole should I watch for?
- Changes in moles, such as asymmetry, irregular borders, changing color, diameter larger than a pencil eraser, or evolving appearance, should be checked by a dermatologist. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Jordan Schwartzberg immediately if you notice any of these changes in a new or existing spot.
- What can be done for dry, itchy skin (eczema) in seniors?
- Dry, itchy skin, or eczema, is very common in older adults. Dr. Schwartzberg can help identify the specific triggers and create a gentle skincare routine. Treatment often involves specialized moisturizers and may include prescription creams to control inflammation and provide relief.
- What treatments do you offer for thinning hair?
- Hair loss is a common concern for seniors. Dr. Schwartzberg first diagnoses the cause of thinning hair, then discusses treatment options ranging from topical solutions and oral medications to advanced therapies, aiming to slow loss and promote healthier hair growth.
- What is actinic keratosis?
- Actinic keratosis (AK) is a pre-cancerous skin growth caused by sun exposure, often appearing as rough, scaly patches. Treating AKs is important because they can sometimes develop into squamous cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer.
- What can be done about facial wrinkles and sun damage?
- Dr. Schwartzberg offers a range of treatments to improve the health and appearance of sun-damaged skin, including prescription retinoids, chemical peels, and laser treatments that can soften wrinkles and reduce discoloration, helping to restore a healthier, more vibrant look.
- I had chickenpox as a child. Do I need to worry about shingles?
- Yes, anyone who's had chickenpox can get shingles, and the risk increases with age. Shingles is a painful rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. The shingles vaccine is highly recommended as the best way to protect against shingles and its potential long-term nerve pain.
