The Importance of Medical Dermatology

Is it time to visit a dermatologist for care?

Our skin, which is our largest organ, requires special care just like all the other organs in the body. At some point, there may be certain problems that arise that require additional attention. By turning to our Forest Hills, NY, dermatologist Dr. Tamara Moss for medical dermatology, we can provide you with the treatments, care and medications you need to get certain skin problems under control. Here are the most common reasons to turn to a medical dermatologist.

What is medical dermatology?

What do we mean when we talk about medical dermatology? Instead of focusing on the cosmetic aspects of care, which we also offer, our Forest Hills, NY, dermatologist Dr. Moss is also here to provide you with specialized and individualized medical care to treat a wide range of skin problems, both acute and chronic. Medical dermatology simply refers to the treatments and care we provide to you or a loved one that helps to address diseases and disorders that affect the skin, hair or nails.

What is involved in medical dermatology?

The goal of medical dermatology is to help you maintain beautiful, healthy skin through the proper care and treatments. Some medical dermatology services include,

General care: If you want to add a dermatologist to your team to perform skin evaluations and screenings and to simply provide you with advice on how to care for your skin then a general medical dermatology appointment can help.

Chronic skin treatments: Conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis require specialized treatment and care. Dr. Moss and her team can provide customized skincare to help you better manage your symptoms for life.

Acne treatment: Having trouble getting your acne under control with home care? Dealing with deep, painful and cystic acne? If so, our dermatology team can provide you with a range of treatment options that target the root cause of your acne.  

Skin cancer screenings: Skin cancer is incredibly common among American adults, so it’s important for everyone (regardless of risk) to get annual skin cancer screenings from a qualified dermatology professional.
