Find a Dermatologist

You can search by location, condition, and procedure to find the dermatologist that’s right for you.

What is a dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating the skin, hair, and nails. Dermatologists care for people of all ages.

Walk-in Dermatology – What to Know Before Going to a Dermatologist

Are you visiting a dermatologist for the first time, or planning to book your first dermatology consultation? Visiting a dermatologist isn’t exactly like visiting your primary care physician, and knowing everything you need to know before your appointment can make your first visit as smooth and productive as possible.

What should a patient know before going to a dermatologist? A patient should understand exactly what a dermatologist does and what they treat, and the telltale signs that it is time to get expert help with your skin, hair or nails. Finally, you should understand the best ways to prepare for the appointment and the most common mistakes to avoid during the visit.

What Does a Dermatologist Do?

Before you visit a dermatologist, you should understand exactly what dermatologists do and how they help their patients. In short, dermatology is the study and treatment of health issues related to the hair, nails, skin, and mucous membranes.

The largest organ in the body is the skin, covering the body’s entire outer surface and protecting it from injury and pathogens. The health of your skin is the first line of defense of your body’s health, which is why it is crucial to keep it as healthy as possible. Dermatologists are the doctors who best understand the interaction between the body and the skin, and how even simple rashes and other conditions can be signs of serious diseases.

So what are the most common reasons why people see dermatologists? According to the American Academy of Dermatology, dermatologists can diagnose and treat over 3,000 conditions. The most common conditions that dermatologists treat are “cosmetic” like acne, or mild issues that mostly affect self-esteem and image.  

Here are some common conditions dermatologists treat:

• Acne
• Acne scars
• Eczema and dermatitis
• Hair loss
• Nail problems
• Warts
• Fungal infections
• Skin cancer
• Shingles
• Rosacea
• Psoriasis
• Vitiligo

If it is your first time seeing a dermatologist, you may want to have some idea as to the exact purpose of your visit, and whether or not this is within the expertise of your preferred dermatologist.

Can a Dermatologist Really Help?

Most of us may only have experience dealing with general practitioners or primary care physicians, and seeing a specialist doctor like a dermatologist may feel like taking an unnecessary visit to a hospital or clinic. One of the most common questions we get from interested patients is, “Can a dermatologist really help with my condition? What can I expect during my visit?”

Yes, if your condition is related to the skin, hair, nails, and the underlying connection between these, then a dermatologist should have the advanced knowledge and training to diagnose, treat, and help you.  

Additionally, just because you might think that your condition is a cosmetic problem doesn’t mean that it doesn’t need to be evaluated by a professional. There are many cases where patients think that a sudden “pimple” might just be another pimple, but actually ends up being an early skin cancer.

Dermatologists are trained to spot, diagnose, and treat issues of the skin that other doctors might not catch. Here are some ways that serious conditions can be linked to a “cosmetic” condition:

• Diabetes patients are 50% likelier to show signs of psoriasis
• Eczema patients are at high-risk of developing serious eye diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma
• Major depression is commonly linked to patients suffering severe acne
• A sudden and severe loss of fat around the face can be a sign of AIDS

Common Dermatologist Procedures

So how exactly do dermatologists treat both cosmetic and medical issues? Dermatologists can employ a range of invasive and noninvasive treatments. These treatments can be performed in a hospital, but most dermatologists practice at a private clinic or office.

Some of the most common procedures performed by a dermatologist include:

1. Chemical Peels: Using a chemical solution to force the top layer of the skin to peel, allowing it to regenerate
2. Lesion Excision: Lesions may need to be excised or removed for a variety of reasons, such as the prevention of disease, cosmetic reasons, or prevention of infection
3. Microdermabrasion: Removing the skin’s top layer to improve general appearance
4. Laser Surgery: Laser, or light-based technology used to treat wrinkles, scars, moles, tumors, remove tattoos, and more
5. Biopsies: Skin biopsies are performed when suspected conditions need to be ruled out or diagnosed
6. Mohs Surgery: A specialized cancer surgery, usually performed on the face, that involves removing cancerous cells from the skin
7. Skin Grafts: Replacing missing skin with skin from other parts of the body
8. Cryotherapy: A treatment for benign conditions that utilizes liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy a specific affected area
9. Skin Resurfacing: Laser technology used to create new, healthy skin tissue to increase collagen production resulting in younger-looking skin
10. Cosmetic Injections: The use of Botox and/or dermal fillers to reduce scarring, wrinkles, and the appearance of fine lines

When is it Time to See a Dermatologist?

Seeing a dermatologist for the first time might not be something that most people are inclined to do. You might not think you have a serious condition or something to be worried about, so you might just prefer to ignore the problem and let it heal on its own. So how exactly do you know that it is time to see a dermatologist? 

If you are asking yourself any of the following questions, then it might be time to check in with a dermatologist:

What is this stubborn rash and why won’t it go away? 

When over-the-counter creams or lotions won’t heal a stubborn rash, then it might be time to book an appointment. Diagnosing a rash yourself can be difficult because most rashes look the same to the untrained eye, whereas dermatologists are trained to understand the different shapes and patterns of rashes, and what those various rashes might be.

Why are my nails becoming a different color?

Nail discoloration is frequently a sign of fungal infections, although this can also be a sign of nutritional deficiencies, aging, medications, and various diseases. If this happens to you, you’ll want to visit a dermatologist to understand and treat your exact problem.

What is this new spot on my body?

New moles or changes in old moles are signs that you need a professional evaluation from a dermatologist. These can be signs of cancer, and detecting cancer as early as possible is the best way to defeat it.

Why has my skin become extra sensitive and also dry?

As you get older, the immune system of your skin gradually weakens due to environmental factors like pollens and UV rays. An annual screening with a dermatologist is the best way to understand the exact cause of your skin drying out and becoming sensitive.

Why won’t my acne go away?

Most people experience at least some form of acne, but for an unlucky few, acne can stick around longer than normal. In other cases, while your acne may go away, it may also leave you with acne scarring. Dermatologists have acne treatments, medications, and products specifically designed for any level of acne or acne scarring.

How Do I Prepare for a Dermatologist Appointment?

1) Check with your insurance provider 

Most insurance plans cover dermatology visits but keep in mind that cosmetic treatments such as CoolSculpting, Botox or other injectables, are likely not covered by insurance. 

Review your health insurance policy or call your insurer before you book an appointment to understand any costs that may be associated with your visit. Insurance providers typically provide coverage for treatments for chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, acne, eczema, and cancer. Other skin conditions that are typically covered by insurance include fungal, bacterial or viral skin infections, rashes, hives, allergies, and warts.

2) Prepare your questions beforehand

Start your visit knowing exactly what you may want to ask. Make a full list of concerns, pre-existing medical conditions, any medication used, and family history to give your doctor context. Also mention any previous skin diseases you’ve experienced, including seasonal ones. 

Listing your concerns before your appointment ensures that you get the most out of your dermatological visit, instead of forgetting your most urgent questions and only remembering them once you’ve stepped out of the clinic. 

With extra information prepared in advance, your dermatologist will have a better understanding of your medical background, skin issues, and any treatments you’ve received, which will allow your doctor to provide a treatment plan moving forward.

3) Don’t expect quick fixes

Too many patients go into dermatology clinics thinking a quick treatment or appointment will completely transform their skin. If you’re undergoing treatments for chronic skin conditions, expect some trial and error before you get the results you actually want. 

Keep in mind that different patients experience varying results. Someone with your exact skin type might get amazing results in minimal time, while you might have to wait weeks before seeing the slightest improvement. Even then, in some circumstances, the most that your dermatologist might be able to accomplish is just getting your condition under control. 

During your dermatology visit, always ask what you can expect from the treatment so you can set proper expectations. Expect to book follow-up visits so your doctor can reassess your treatment plan and decide if you need to add, remove, or swap any of your existing medication or dermatological procedures. 

4) Research your injectables

Cosmetic procedures require just as much research as medical procedures, if not more. The compounds in injectables might not react well with certain medications or diets, which is why it’s important to provide a full medical and personal background to your dermatologist. 

Avoid the risk of experiencing side effects by properly preparing for your cosmetic treatments. 

6) Don’t hesitate to bring pictures

On top of providing your complete medical records, your doctor would also appreciate it if you brought in pictures. This will help them diagnose and understand acute skin conditions and other sporadic problems. 

If you’re undergoing cosmetic procedures, bringing in a younger picture of yourself will give them a better understanding of your facial structure. This will acquaint your dermatologist with what your face looked like when it was young, making any attempt to recreate your youthful appearance much easier. 

7) Always book treatments in advance

Never book treatments on the same day as important events such as a party or work-related function. Even lunchtime procedures that can be completed in 30 minutes can result in side effects that take hours, if not days, to completely heal. 

Side effects can include anything from bruising to swelling to drooping. Make sure to schedule your treatments far enough in advance. If you have questions about how far in advance is far enough, simply call your dermatologist’s office and ask them. 

4 Important Dermatologist Visit Reminders

Are you going to a dermatologist appointment for the first time? Make your appointment as smooth as possible by following these guidelines:

1) Wear the Gown 

Make physical exams easier by undressing and wearing the examination gown provided to you. Dermatologists ask you to wear a gown for two reasons: Without clothing, your dermatologist can accurately inspect your body.  Also, your dermatologist can inspect one body part and then another without having to fiddle with your clothing.

The next time you’re up for a dermatology visit, dress down and use the examination gown for a smoother check-up. 

2) Take Note of What You’re Using

Dermatologists might be skin experts, but you can’t expect them to know every topical or oral treatment that exists. Whenever you’re consulting about a specific product, always make sure that you have a photo of the product, including the product name, its medicinal strength, and any other chemical compositions. 

In dermatology, two seemingly identical creams can have strengths that differ by just 1% to 5%. This difference alone can yield entirely different results, which is why it’s crucial to take note of what product you’re using. 

3) Skip the Nail Polish

Your nails can inform your dermatologist about underlying health problems. For instance, the shape of your nails can be a signal of deficiencies and other health conditions that would otherwise remain hidden, both related to dermatology and your overall health. 

4) Use Your Skincare Products

Too many patients make the mistake of thinking that dermatologists want to see their “bare faces.” While it’s true that you shouldn’t go to your dermatology appointment with layers of thick makeup, this doesn’t mean you should also skip your daily skincare regimen. This is especially true if you are using prescription medicine to treat certain skin conditions. Ultimately, your dermatologist will want to assess how your skin is reacting to the medication.

On the day of your appointment, don’t neglect to apply any serums, creams, and whatever else you use on a daily basis unless specified otherwise. When in doubt, you can always call ahead of your appointment and verify if there will be tests that require you not to put anything on your face.

Consultation with a dermatologist, skin diseases, pediatric dermatologist, pediatric dermatologist, treatment of skin diseases, house call

Symptoms for which a consultation with a dermatologist is indicated

• Pyoderma – pustular skin diseases (staphyladerma, streptoderma)
• Mycoses – fungal diseases of the skin (dermatomycosis, trichophytosis, microsporia, candidiasis)
• Dermatozoonoses (scabies, lice)
• Viral dermatoses (lichen lichen simplex, herpes zoster, warts, condylomas, molluscum contagiosum)
• Dermatitis (allergic dermatitis, toxicodermia)
• Eczema
• Neurodermatosis
• Psoriasis
• Erythema
• Vasculitis
• Seborrhea
• Hair diseases

Skin diseases are characterized by the appearance of a pathological process in visible areas of the skin, so the patient himself notes the onset of the disease. When a rash appears on the skin, the sick person decides that it is either an infection or a manifestation of an allergy. Due to total employment or a tough work schedule, people do not have the opportunity to go to a dermatovenerological dispensary and begin to self-medicate. This usually leads to the progression of the disease.

Dermatologist – an individual approach to each patient – the key to the success of your recovery.

People periodically face various skin problems throughout their lives. In infancy, children are worried about diaper dermatitis, at the beginning of complementary feeding, many babies show an allergic reaction to new nutritional components and diathesis, visiting preschool institutions rarely does without past infectious diseases with characteristic skin symptoms (chickenpox, rubella).

In adolescence, due to the activation of sex hormones, adolescents suffer from acne manifestations, pregnancy is characterized by stretch marks on the skin and spider veins on the legs, the period of menopause is accompanied by dry skin. At any stage of life, nature never tires of reminding people that there is such a doctor as a dermatologist who can easily solve most of these problems.

In addition to the already noted skin pathologies dermatologist deals with the treatment of the whole variety of skin diseases. More than two thousand dermatological disorders have been identified by science. Many of them have similar symptoms. These are generalized or localized skin rashes, peeling and swelling of the skin, dryness and cracking, pigmentation and discoloration of the epidermis, skin itching, exudate, etc. Often, skin diseases are accompanied by general malaise and high fever.

It must be remembered that dermatological diseases can be caused not only by external factors such as skin parasites, contact with aggressive substances, burns or physical trauma. Most skin diseases develop under the influence of internal causes. Any sign that is atypical for the normal state of the skin can indicate a developing pathology in the body. An experienced dermatologist can assume an existing systemic disease by changing the skin and refer the patient for a consultation to the right specialist.

For example, pallor of the mucous membranes and skin can be a symptom of anemia, their yellowing indicates problems with the liver. Rashes on the skin in the form of lingonberry grains tell the doctor about chronic pancreatitis. Depending on the location and associated symptoms, a skin rash is a symptom of a sexually transmitted disease, hormonal disorders, or pathology of the digestive system. Itchy skin often accompanies diabetes and allergies to food, medicine, or insect bites.

In addition to the vast amount of knowledge in his specialization and the medical sciences bordering on it, the dermatologist must be careful not to lose sight of even the slightest skin change, which can be a symptom of a serious internal pathology. For example, the smallest spider veins are a symptom of developing liver cirrhosis, provided that they are located on the upper body.

Nowadays, the service of visiting a dermatologist is practiced in the clinic. For consultation, examination and treatment appointment, you can call a doctor of narrow specialization at the clinic. Diseases of the skin become immediately noticeable. A person does not like to go to the hospital or is busy at work, and the disease progresses, and self-medication does not help, then it remains to call a doctor in the clinic. The consequences of using various ointments or other unskilled actions can be treated for years. Visiting a dermatologist in a clinic is no longer a luxury, but an individual way of treating a patient. To establish the correct diagnosis of dermatological diseases, you need to pass tests.

Therapy of skin diseases is based on an individual approach to each patient. In this case, the doctor takes into account his hereditary predisposition to dermatological diseases, professional characteristics and everyday habits. Treatment of a dermatological disease most often includes a set of measures. Successful recovery is facilitated by a combination of local and general drug therapy with physiotherapy and means to strengthen the immune system. When removing pathological growths from the skin, dermatologists have used surgical excision for many years. Today, a laser, cryodestruction method and radiosurgery came to the aid of the doctor. The use of advanced methods allows avoiding postoperative complications and significantly reducing the recovery period after skin intervention.

Pediatric dermatologist

Treating children with skin diseases is not an easy task, because children require a special approach. A pediatric dermatologist will help you solve the problem of treating any childhood dermatoses, carefully examine a small patient, and prescribe treatment. In the clinic, you can call a dermatologist at home or visit a doctor in the center. A visit to a dermatologist at the clinic can be arranged at a convenient time for you.

• What is scabies?
• How can you get scabies?
• I have a problem with my hands, eczema is constantly coming out. I turned to a dermatologist – he prescribed an ointment and something for allergies, but this is not for long, although it helps a little. In general, itching torments, how to deal with it?

Scabies is a contagious skin disease that spreads from person to person. The causative agent of scabies is a scabies mite that parasitizes inside the human skin. Scabies should not be considered exclusively a “disease of the homeless”, at present it is often found in quite socially prosperous families.

Infection with scabies occurs when the scabies mite is transmitted from a sick person to a healthy person through direct contact or indirectly (through objects used by the patient). Scabies is most often transmitted through sexual contact, through linen and bedding, infection is possible through mattresses and blankets in trains, hotels, hospitals, etc. In children’s groups, scabies can be transmitted through soft toys, stationery, sports equipment.

Eczema is a chronic disease and requires constant monitoring by the same good dermatologist. Together with your doctor, you will try to understand the reasons for the appearance of new rashes, and it will be possible to choose drugs for long-term control of the disease. It is simply impossible to advise something without an examination. in each case it is necessary to choose different medicines.

visit to a dermatologist at the clinic

A visit to a doctor is carried out within 2-3 hours. We have adult and pediatric dermatologists. All specialists have experience of 5 years in dermatological practice, all services are licensed.

Skin pathologies can be difficult to hide under clothes, they prevent a person from starting new relationships, leading an active lifestyle, and relaxing. Often, skin diseases are so unaesthetic that the patient is embarrassed to treat them even in a medical facility. The way out of this situation is to visit a dermatologist at home, after all, a person feels great confidence within the walls of his own home. Sometimes excessive employment does not allow a person with dermatological disorders to contact a specialist in time and the disease progresses. And in this case, the best solution would be to visit a dermatologist at the clinic, because the doctor, by prior arrangement, can see the patient at any time convenient for the patient, including even in the evenings or weekends.

After consulting the patient in the clinic, the dermatologist will take an anamnesis of the disease, carry out preliminary diagnostics, prescribe the necessary laboratory tests and take tests with disposable instruments. If the picture of the disease is typical and clear enough, then the very first visit to the doctor ends with the appointment of a course of treatment. If the dermatologist hesitates when making a diagnosis, then treatment is prescribed after the results of the tests become known.

A dermatologist at the clinic will help you get rid of not only skin disorders. If a particular disease of the internal organs is suspected, the doctor will definitely inform the patient about it and refer him to a specialized specialist.

I found Irina Nikolaevna based on reviews. She asked about hair loss (one focus), the skin itched on her leg (focus) and a rash on her face. She spoke in detail about her problems. The doctor listened. Irina Nikolaevna prescribed primary, extensive treatment, and also said to take tests, after which she would need to send her the result via whatsap for further development / correction of treatment. All treatments are detailed. I will try! That’s why I can’t give stars yet. 🙂 I recommend Irina Nikolaevna!

I liked everything – from the entrance to the clinic, to the completion of the consultation and payment. Shoe covers are always in the clinic, they can give you a mask. As always greeted with a smile, very friendly administrators. The doctor is great too! Cheerful, active, but at the same time very attentive and thoughtful.
Comment:
Was with a child about rashes. Elena Petrovna examined visually, offered to look with a special apparatus. She told the possible reasons, prescribed a small additional examination and treatment until the next appointment. The tests were passed in the same medical center, everything was neat, the child was comfortable! The prescribed treatment has already begun to help, but we will definitely come back with the results a second time. The doctor looked at everything very well, listened, behaved with her daughter as carefully as possible, disposed to herself. I recommend wholeheartedly!

She gave recommendations on protection from ultraviolet radiation and sunburn, suggested ointments. She treated me carefully and kindly.

At the reception, Elena Petrovna asked me questions, conducted a visual examination and prescribed treatment. I would like to note that at the moment there is an improvement. The visit began without delay and lasted about an hour. If necessary, I will contact this specialist again. I will recommend her to my friends if needed.

Vladimirovna E.P. seems like a good doctor to me. She told us everything correctly, prescribed good medicines, treated us kindly, initially tried to find contact with a 3-year-old child. In principle, he treats doctors normally, so he was not afraid and felt quite good at the reception. They turned to a dermatologist, because herpes got out on the child’s face and large wounds formed, just a scab. The doctor conducted a visual examination, made a diagnosis, consulted and told what and how. Even before the appointment, we took a blood test and came with the results, no additional examinations were prescribed. The course of treatment is designed for 2 weeks, consists of antibiotics and agents for external use. We have been on treatment for 5 days, we already see great improvements. We did not agree on the next appointment, but the doctor said that she could consult again if necessary. If you need help, I will call the reception, and we will be connected with E.P. Vladimirova. I will definitely recommend this doctor.

I have the most positive opinion, I can note goodwill, attentiveness and respect. The doctor unobtrusively offered to undergo an additional examination, to which I agreed, realizing that this was required to determine a more accurate treatment regimen. Also, Maria Rudolfovna suggested temporary therapy to relieve the symptoms and it helped, I began to feel much better. The doctor answered all my additional questions regarding her specifics, which is very nice! Of course, the dermatologist examined and paid attention to all the problems that I identified. They gave me enough time, there was no rush, everything went fine. I will be going back to the dermatologist soon. I would recommend this doctor to others if need be. Basically, I got what I wanted.
It was my first time at the reception. I was just looking for a dermatologist for myself and for Smolnikova M.R. It was evening time for recording, which is very convenient for me. As such, I have not yet had a treatment, so it is difficult to assess the effectiveness.

We turned to Dr. Galimova for the first time. We found out about this specialist on the site, after which we decided to go to her. The husband went to the doctor on complaints, so during the appointment she conducted a full examination of him, and they also talked orally, during which she asked what tests had been done earlier. Of course, Albina Garifovna clarified about the symptoms. From the words of my husband, I realized that the doctor explained everything in an accessible way. At the moment, we will be undergoing treatment, the doctor has already prescribed everything that needs to be done and what tests to pass. Again, judging by what my husband said, at least I have confidence in this specialist. We have not yet decided about the re-admission, as we do not live in this city. Let’s see how the treatment will proceed, that is, everything will depend on the result. In general, the reception itself then began on time, in my opinion, even 5 minutes earlier. Of course, the doctor also made sure to provide her opinion. I think that this specialist can be recommended to other people for advice. I think she showed a positive and respectful attitude.

Very caring doctor and easy to communicate with. In parallel, she identified another problem and offered to get rid of it immediately. She offered the option “cheaper” and “more expensive”, explaining the difference. She gave samplers, from the prescribed drugs, the rash disappeared in a day. And, what is important for me, she gave me her phone number for sending tests! And she immediately gave recommendations in case the situation worsened, which I consider a huge plus, since in this case I will get to the reception “prepared”. In addition, after the procedure, after 3 weeks, a free consultation is provided to control the result – which is great. 🙂 I would like not to go back to see a doctor, but if this is necessary, I will definitely turn to Irina Nikolaevna!
Comment
I have been observed in this clinic for a long time, but after visiting the gynecologist, all desire to go here disappeared. The doctor ordered a lot of expensive examinations, although at first he said that if a negative result came, then they would not be needed. Plus, I didn’t like the fact that after each new analysis you need to go to a paid appointment with a doctor so that he just looks at them. But due to the urgency, I got to Irina Nikolaevna and did not regret it!
