Preparing for your Full Skin Check with your Dermatologist: What to Expect
Рет қаралды 22,437
Күн бұрынThis video is for people who are interested in getting their skin checked by a dermatologist or has already made an appointment and want to know how to prepare for it.
Why do it?
Full skin examinations are important in screening for skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma). We can’t always see our back and so it is good to have a skin specialist take a look at your back.
What to expect?
Your dermatologist will likely use dermoscopy during the examination to maginify certain skin lesions or growths with a special light (polarized and non polarized light).
How to prepare?
Try not to wear makeup and nail polish. Be ready to have your hairdo ruined as I sift through the scalp (yes, you can get skin cancers on your scalp). Wear a mask to your visit. If your significant other is with you, please have them wear a mask as well.
What happens if there is a lesion of concern?
We will perform a skin biopsy and send the tissue for pathological examination.
Hope this was helpful! Take care and thank you for supporting my channel!

Dr Sugai, thank you for this informative video. I am looking for a new Dermatologist. The one that my GP recommended was very limited and quick. I wasn't requester to remove my shorts or socks much less look between my toes or the bottom of my feet. I am 71 and have had two Basil Cells removed, one behind ear and one under hair on head. As the patient I feel awkward being the one directing the exam. I wish that your practice was in my town.

Doc ,What can I do to get rid of fungal acene and get rid of dark spots caused by pimples.
@danielsugaimd 4 жыл бұрын
chweng kop the formal term for fungal acne is malassezia folliculitis and it is treated with prescription medications. For dark spots: Wear sunscreen all year round, consider a retinol or vitamin c serum or see your derm for prescription retinoid or other creams to lighten them. Be careful of using hydroquinone lightening creams for a long period of time as they can worsen dark spots. Take care and thanks for watching 🤙😃
