Dermatology Takes Care of our Skin – ALL of our Skin
Is your skin is showing signs of aging in the facial area? Dermatology can address that with a variety of options and treatments, including injections of dermal fillers such as Botox, Restylane, or collagen. However, what if your problem is not just the appearance of a wrinkle? Perhaps your problem is more serious, like a suspicious mole on the back of your neck or a wart that is growing on your finger. In a place like Newport Beach where “fun in the sun” is the order of the day and overexposure is commonplace, a dermatologist should be high on your list of health care professionals. Dermatology experts are skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of everything related to your skin. From warts, moles, and skin tags, to serious skin cancers, talking to a Newport Beach dermatology specialist will help you determine exactly what it is that you have and exactly what needs to be done about it.
Skin cancer is an area that is receiving more attention from the media than ever before. There are strong public education campaigns in place to educate about the dangers of exposing skin to the sun for long periods of time. Every summer, there is an abundance of commercials and advertisements for SPF sun block to help protect your skin from the damage of the sun and the increased chance of developing skin cancer. In the past, sun exposure was simply considered to be physiologically damaging, perhaps the cause of freckles, and nobody wanted to “damage” or freckle their skin. Today, dermatology professionals regularly advise the public to exercise extreme caution with regard to exposure to the damaging UV rays of the sun, a direct cause of melanomas that develop on the surface of the skin. When detected and removed promptly, the danger is decreased. However, since most people have no idea what a melanoma actually looks like, the risk factor increases quite a bit as it may be allowed to grow undisturbed.
Any mole or growth on your skin that suddenly crops up or changes in how it usually looks should be promptly examined by a dermatology specialist and considered for removal. Whenever you find something unusual happening with your skin, it is wise to seek the expert opinion of a dermatologist in your area to examine and evaluate whether it may be serious or benign.
Dermatology is the specialized area of medicine that treats and cares for our skin. Disorders and diseases of the skin can be difficult to understand and to treat. If there is a problem with anything related to your skin, then seek the expert guidance and treatment provided by a local dermatologist to address your individual needs. Dermatology is a specialty for all of your skin, not just the skin on your face.
