Dermatologists are professionals at diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails! At DAA, we have eight centers within our practice, with a team of dermatologists and PAs who are experts in their specialized fields. If you’re debating whether you should schedule a consult, we’ve created a helpful guide to five reasons you should see a DAA dermatologist! These are just a few examples of the many reasons why patients may schedule a visit. 

1. Changes to a Mole (Possible Skin Cancer Sign
   

   One of the top reasons why you should schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified dermatologists is if you notice any changes in your skin regarding a mole. Whether it’s a mole that you’ve had your entire life that has recently changed in size, shape, or color, or you have a new mole growth, you should immediately contact our office to have it looked at. Changes to a mole can indicate skin cancer, and it’s best to catch it early!

2. Acne or Acne Scars That Won’t Improve
   

   While acne is often associated with the puberty stage of adolescents, it can affect anyone due to a multitude of factors and is extremely common. If you’re tired of dealing with your acne or you’re looking to get rid of old acne scars, our dermatologists are here to help! Your DAA dermatologist will create a customized treatment plan to determine how to best help your acne condition or scarring.
   
   

3. You Have Chronic Eczema
   

   Eczema is a chronic condition that affects the skin and is characterized by irritated and inflamed patches. There are multiple types of eczema that require different treatments to ensure optimal results. Our dermatologists at our Eczema Center are knowledgeable on all eczema types and will talk through a variety of treatment options, including light therapy and custom prescribed compounds, with you to determine the best course of action. 

4. You’re Suffering From Spider Veins
   

   With summer quickly approaching, spider veins are a popular reason as to why patients schedule a consultation. These small, dilated veins can be found on your thighs, calves, knees, and ankles and are caused by a backup of blood circulation. While harmless, they can cause emotional distress in patients who feel embarrassed wearing shorts, skirts, or dresses that show their spider veins. Our DAA dermatologists have over 20 years of experience treating spider veins and can provide treatment options to help get your confidence back!
   
   

5. You’re Experiencing Hair Loss
   

   Hair loss affects both men and women around the world and can encompass sudden shedding or thinning. It can be caused by genetic conditions or outside factors, including hormonal imbalances, medication, and more. At DAA, we have The Center of Hair Restoration and Research and The Center for Women’s Hair Loss that specialize in understanding, diagnosing, and treating hair loss for men and women. There are a variety of non-surgical treatment options available as well.
