Q: When should I see a dermatologist?

A:

  • A mole or patch of skin that’s changed—If a mole or patch of your skin has changed in color, size, shape, or symptom you should see a dermatologist.

  • Stubborn acne

  • Itchy hives or rashes that won’t go away

  • Scars from acne, blemishes, or cuts and scrapes

  • Persistent skin irritation—You have itchy, red, flaky skin and over-the-counter creams and lotions just aren’t working. You may think that the cause of your dry skin is the weather, sensitivity to skincare products, or even genetics. But in reality, you could have a chronic skin condition.
