Here are answers to some common questions about Dermatological care with Dr. Justin Rubin:
- What is a Dermatologist?
- Dr. Rubin is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions. He is particularly skilled in preventing and treating skin cancer, managing chronic skin issues, and addressing the natural changes that occur in skin as we age.
- How often should I get a full-body skin exam?
- We strongly recommend a full-body skin exam with Dr. Rubin at least once a year. For seniors with a history of skin cancer or many moles, Dr. Rubin 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?
- Look for changes in moles, such as asymmetry, irregular borders, changing colors, a diameter larger than a pencil eraser, or evolving spots. If you notice any of these ABCDEs, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Justin Rubin immediately.
- What happens during a skin biopsy?
- During a skin biopsy, Dr. Rubin removes a small skin sample to be examined under a microscope. The area is numbed first, making the procedure comfortable. It's a quick, routine part of diagnosis, and the only way to definitively diagnose many skin conditions, including skin cancer.
- What can be done about facial wrinkles and sun damage?
- Dr. Rubin offers a range of treatments to improve the health and appearance of sun-damaged skin. Prescription retinoids, chemical peels, and laser treatments can soften wrinkles, reduce discoloration, and help restore a healthier, more vibrant look.
- What is Mohs surgery, and why is it used?
- Mohs surgery is a highly precise surgical technique used to remove skin cancers like basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. It's particularly helpful for areas of the face because it removes all cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy skin as possible.
- My face is often red and flushed. Could this be rosacea?
- Persistent redness and flushing are classic signs of rosacea, a common skin condition. While there's no cure, Dr. Rubin can develop a highly effective management plan with gentle skincare, topical medications, and sometimes laser treatments to control redness and prevent flare-ups.
- What is actinic keratosis?
- Actinic keratosis (AK) is a pre-cancerous skin growth often appearing as rough, scaly patches, caused by years of sun exposure. Treating AKs is important because they can sometimes develop into squamous cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer.
