Signs That It’s Time to Go See a Skin Doctor

Skin Doctor

Dermatologists treat so much more than just acne and moles, and anything from excessive sweating to hair loss should be checked out by a skin doctor. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, then it’s time for you to schedule an appointment with a skin doctor. The experts at Coastal Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Long Beach, CA are here to help, and will address any unusual changes in your body to help you come up with the right treatment plan for you and your unique needs.

Top 6 Signs You Need to See a Skin Doctor

Skin doctors are trained to look at the largest organ in your body: the skin, which includes your hair, scalp, eyes, and the insides of your mouth. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, make an appointment with a dermatologist immediately to get your symptoms checked out.

1. Suspicious Moles

You should always see a skin doctor if you notice any peculiar changes in moles, or if a new one appears. If a mole is changing color or shape, this may be an early sign or melanoma. Catching this cancer early results in a better prognosis, so it is always important to have a medical professional check out any suspicious moles as soon as they appear.
2. Unexplained Hair Loss

Hair loss is a symptom of a myriad of health issues, including alopecia and hereditary hair loss. Your skin doctor will get to the root of the issue to help you resolve the health issue that is causing your hair loss.

3. Red, Itchy Scalp
Having an unusually itchy scalp may not seem like a reason to head to the doctor, but raised, red scaly patches that constantly itch can be a sign of scalp psoriasis. A skin doctor can help treat the issue so you don’t have to continue living with the nuisance of an itchy scalp.

4. Excessive Sweating
Something as innocuous as being sweaty may not seem like an urgent health issue, but excessive sweating can be caused by hypothyroidism and type 2 diabetes. For this reason, it is always a good idea to schedule an appointment with your skin doctor if you find yourself sweating more than usual to rule out a serious health issue.

5. Recurrent Mouth Sores

Recurrent mouth sores are not only painful and annoying, but they may also be signaling you of something deeper. If you find yourself getting canker sores on a regular basis, visit your skin doctor to rule out the possibility of digestive disorders.

6. Constantly Flushed Skin

If you constantly look like you’re blushing and develop swollen red bumps on your face, you may have rosacea. While the condition is chronic, it can be easily treated and managed by a skin doctor.
