3 Reasons to See a Dermatologist

When it comes to skin, hair and nails, there is no better expert than your dermatologist. Dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases that, if left untreated, can worsen or leave you feeling ashamed or embarrassed. At Knoxville Dermatology Group, our skin care providers can find the best solutions for your skin concerns. Here are three reasons why you should step into our office at 123 Fox Road to see one of our team members today:

Mysterious moles

If one of your freckles is not quite like the others – irregularly shaped, colored or raised, you should get it checked out. Moles that mysteriously appear and have a case of the ABCDEs are a concern because of their potential link to skin cancer. When it comes to your health, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Take preventative measures against skin cancer by wearing sunscreen every day and performing an annual skin check.

Annoying acne

When acne follows you from the awkward stages of puberty into adult life, frustration can reach an all-time high. Sure, over-the-counter medications may work, but in order to get the most effective treatment, it’s best to see a dermatologist. A dermatologist will be able to prescribe topical medications, such as Retin-A or Epiduo, or antibiotics to help treat your breakouts from the inside out.

Red rashes

With swimsuit season upon us, nothing can feel more embarrassing or cause as much anxiety as the self-consciousness that comes with psoriasis or eczema. Seeing a dermatologist can be the first step to finally feeling proud and comfortable in the skin you’re in. Like with acne, dermatologists can prescribe medications to reduce the likelihood of breakouts and lessen the severity.
