Frequently Asked Questions: Dermatology

When should I see a Dermatologist instead of using OTC products?
Consult a Dermatologist if your skin condition persists for more than 2 weeks despite home care, if you notice unusual moles or skin growths, if acne is leaving scars, if you have widespread rashes, or if you experience significant hair loss. Self-medicating with steroids or strong creams without guidance can worsen conditions.
Can a Dermatologist treat hair loss?
Yes. Dermatologists diagnose the type and cause of hair loss through clinical examination and tests like trichoscopy, blood work (thyroid, iron, vitamin D), and scalp biopsy if needed. Treatment may include topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, PRP therapy, or addressing underlying nutritional deficiencies.
Are online consultations effective for skin problems?
Many skin conditions can be effectively assessed via teleconsultation with high-quality photos. Conditions like acne, rashes, eczema flare-ups, and fungal infections are commonly managed online. Your dermatologist may ask you to visit in person for procedures, biopsies, or conditions that need close examination.
How can I prevent acne breakouts?
Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser twice daily, avoid touching your face, change pillowcases frequently, use oil-free sunscreen, and maintain a balanced diet. Avoid self-prescribing steroid creams. A dermatologist can create a personalized skincare routine and prescribe medication if needed.
