A dermatologist is a skin specialist that focuses on the hair, skin, nails, and body. They often provide both medical and cosmetic dermatology services. Dr. Huayi Zhang of Bluebonnet Dermatology of McKinney, Texas, is a board-certified dermatologist who can assist new and established patients at her state-of-the-art dermatology clinic. Below are just a few of the more frequently asked questions often heard by our dermatologists from patients over the years:
Yes, skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. It is estimated that around 20% of Americans will develop skin cancer at some point in their lives. However, it is also one of the most preventable and most treatable forms of cancer when it is detected early.
Medical dermatology diagnoses and treats skin conditions, diseases, and disorders, such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer. On the other hand, cosmetic dermatology focuses on improving the skin’s overall appearance through procedures like Botox injections, chemical peels, and laser treatments.
Absolutely! Sunscreen is essential, even on cloudy days. Up to 80% of the sun’s UV radiation can reach the skin via clouds and harm it. It is often recommended to wear a broad-spectrum sunblock with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, regardless of the weather.
The signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles on the face, can be treated using various options, including topical creams, injectables (like Botox), laser treatments, and chemical peels. It is best to consult a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your needs.
Yes! The food we eat often impacts our skin health. A balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, lean meats, and proteins can help maintain healthy skin. Certain foods high in sugar or unhealthy fats may contribute to acne breakouts or exacerbate existing skin conditions.
It is important to monitor any changes in moles, as they can be a common sign of skin cancer. If you notice a new or changing mole, scheduling an upcoming appointment with a dermatologist for a thorough examination is best. They may recommend a biopsy if necessary.
While there is no definitive evidence that natural remedies effectively treat skin conditions, some people may find relief from using certain products, such as tea tree oil for acne or oatmeal baths for eczema. It is important to consult a dermatologist before trying any natural remedies and continue following your prescribed treatment plan.Â
