Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a dermatologist?
For any skin concern that doesn't resolve, changes in moles, persistent rashes, acne not responding to over-the-counter treatments, or regular skin cancer screening.
How often should I have skin cancer screening?
This depends on risk factors. High-risk individuals may need annual screening. Discuss with your dermatologist to determine appropriate frequency.
Can balneotherapy help my skin condition?
For conditions like psoriasis and eczema, therapeutic salt water immersion can be very beneficial. We can integrate balneotherapy with dermatological care.
Will I need a biopsy?
Biopsy is performed when diagnosis is uncertain or when skin cancer is suspected. Not all skin conditions require biopsy.
Are dermatology treatments covered by insurance?
Medical dermatology (disease treatment) is typically covered. Coverage varies by insurer and condition.
How long does treatment take?
This varies widely. Some conditions resolve quickly; chronic conditions require ongoing management. We'll discuss expected timelines.
