A first dermatology visit includes a full-body skin exam where the doctor inspects your skin from head to toe using a dermatoscope (a lighted magnifier). They will ask about your skin concerns and history. For a specific issue like acne, they will discuss treatment options. Moles that look concerning may be biopsied on the spot. It is quick with local numbing.
See a dermatologist for persistent acne that over-the-counter products cannot control, a changing or new mole, unexplained rashes or itching, hair loss, psoriasis or eczema flare-ups, nail infections, warts that will not go away, and annual skin cancer screenings (especially if you are fair-skinned or have a family history of skin cancer).
Office visit copay: $20-75 · Skin biopsy: $150-500 · Acne treatment plan: $50-200/month · Mohs surgery: $1,000-3,000
Persistent or severe acne that does not respond to over-the-counter products benefits from a dermatologist who can prescribe topical treatments, oral medications, or procedures tailored to your skin type.
Eczema causes itchy, inflamed skin that flares and subsides in cycles. Dermatologists develop management plans that reduce flares, repair the skin barrier, and improve your comfort.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes thick, scaly patches on the skin. Dermatologists offer treatments from topical creams to biologic medications depending on severity.
Annual skin checks help catch melanoma and other skin cancers early when they are most treatable. Dermatologists examine suspicious moles and perform biopsies on anything that looks concerning.
A rash that does not go away, keeps coming back, or spreads deserves professional evaluation. Dermatologists can distinguish between hundreds of conditions that may look similar to the untrained eye.
Medical dermatology (acne, rashes, skin cancer checks) is covered under your regular health insurance with standard copays. Cosmetic procedures (Botox, chemical peels, laser resurfacing) are not covered. Annual skin exams are considered preventive by many plans. Confirm your dermatologist is in-network, as dermatology tends to have more out-of-network providers.
