What to Look for in a Skin Doctor

Skin Doctor

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it contributes the most to your appearance. Sunspots, wrinkles and fine lines make a person look aged while peachy and smooth skin free of blemishes signifies youth and a healthy lifestyle. Most of us, however, will encounter a skin problem at some point in life. Skin conditions range from a minor pimple to rashes; creases and skin sagging. Diet, age, pollution, and sleep cycles take a toll on the skins. Our team at Coastal Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Long Beach, CA offer the latest treatments and solutions to all types of skin problems a skin doctor may be concerned about.

What Is a Skin Doctor?

A skin doctor or dermatologist is a certified specialist who can diagnose and treat a variety of cosmetic and medical skin conditions. Dermatologists also help look after the nails and hair that form a part of the outer covering of the body along with the skin.
What Skin Problems Can a Dermatologist Treat?

  • A dermatologist can help manage a host of skin conditions. The main skin problems that a skin doctor can help treat include:
  • Signs of aging – wrinkles, fine lines, age spots
  • Sunspots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation
  • Acne and injury scars
  • Dull and lifeless skin
  • Skin diseases

How Can I Choose a Good Skin Doctor?

Your skin contributes a great deal to your appearance, and it needs the tender loving care of a good dermatologist to keep it glowing. Read on for tips on what to look for as you go about selecting a dermatologist:

1. Check the Credentials

It is essential that you place your trust in the right doctor. You can do so by ensuring that the skin doctor you select is a board-certified specialist and has expertise in the particular procedure you opt for.

2. Look for Reviews

You can talk to other patients for a dermatologist to get feedback on how capable the skin doctor you choose is. You can also get a recommendation from your primary physician on reputed dermatologists in your area.

3. Listening and Communication

A good doctor will always listen to you carefully and communicates his or her treatment plan. Use a similar approach while selecting a dermatologist and avoid someone who does not discuss your concerns or take out time to hear you out.

4. Distance Is a Factor

You will probably need to visit your dermatologist frequently during treatment and off-and-on for consultations. It is best to seek a dermatologist who is located at a convenient distance from your home or can be accessed easily on the phone or email.
