Here are answers to some common questions about Dermatological care with Dr. Srdjan Prodanovich:
- What is a Dermatologist?
- A dermatologist is a medical doctor specializing in skin, hair, and nail conditions. They diagnose and treat various issues, including skin cancer, chronic skin conditions, and age-related skin changes. Their expertise is crucial 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. Prodanovich at least once a year. For seniors with a history of skin cancer or many moles, Dr. Prodanovich 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, changes in color, a diameter larger than a pencil eraser, or evolving spots (ABCDEs). If you notice any of these changes in a new or existing spot, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Prodanovich immediately.
- What can be done about facial wrinkles and sun damage?
- Dr. Prodanovich 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 and reduce discoloration, helping to restore a healthier, more vibrant look.
- My face is often red and flushed. Could this be rosacea?
- Persistent redness and flushing are classic signs of rosacea, a common skin condition. Dr. Prodanovich 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 develop into squamous cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer.
- What can be done for dry, itchy skin (eczema) in seniors?
- Dry, itchy skin, or eczema, is very common in older adults. Dr. Prodanovich can help identify potential triggers and create a gentle skincare routine for you. Treatment often involves specialized moisturizers and may include prescription creams to manage inflammation and provide relief.
- Are 'age spots' or 'liver spots' dangerous?
- Age spots, also known as seborrheic keratoses or solar lentigines, are generally harmless. However, any new or changing brown spots should be checked by a dermatologist like Dr. Prodanovich to rule out skin cancer. If desired, there are effective treatments to lighten or remove them for cosmetic reasons.
