When removing a mole do you go to a dermatologist or a surgeon?

im kind of confused..


i want to get it removed as soon as possible..


help?When removing a mole do you go to a dermatologist or a surgeon?
Dermatologist, they will etheir remove it themselves or send you to a sergeon, but usually they can do it themselves.When removing a mole do you go to a dermatologist or a surgeon?
Dermatologist and sometimes your own family doctor can do it, mine removed two for me. A surgeon is only needed if it is something like a cancerous tumor. They will just give you a little local anesthetic agent to numb it up then they will just cut it off. It does not hurt, usually there are no stitches they may burn it a little to stop it from bleeding but you wont feel a thing.
Dermatologist or Surgeon...I cant't remember..I had one removed like 10 years ago








I need help too people!!! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
you definately need to go to your doctor who would refer you to a skin specialist if she or he believes there to be any concern. if you are wanting to remove if for looks then still go to your doctor and they will most probably suggest a surgeon
Your family doctor can do simple ones. Anything deeper or larger would need to be done by a dermatologist. However I believe you have to be referred by your family doctor so start there. You may walk out mole free on that same day!
i was advised by a plastic surgeon to do it with a plastic surgeon because they close up the area better than a dermatologist. i'm speaking about one on your face or some area you might be self-conscience about otherwise a dermatologist is fine. i would trust my dermatologist for removal.
i had a mole on my foot that i had removed..your gonna go to a* Dermatologist so he can acess it ,than they will decide if it needs to be removed..and they can do it usually in the medical clinic where they work . no worries
Go to a Good Dermatologist, first.. they will determine or help you to determine the best method.

How much it would cost to go see a dermatologist without insurance?

i have problems with sun spots on my face like redness from the sun and heat and stuff like that. and i have dark spots from pimples too. i dont think my insurance will cover it. so how much it would cost for a consultation? and how much for the products that they gonna give me? and how long would it take to get rid of it? i'm 14 by the way. thanks alot!How much it would cost to go see a dermatologist without insurance?
It really depends on a couple of things. If you have insurance, you should first check and see if an appointment will be covered. You may need a referral from your primary care physician. If not, different doctors charge different prices, especially if you're paying out of pocket. Derms are usually VERY expensive. There may be a larger price tag for your first appointment, and different prices for your follow ups. And last, what you pay will depend on the treatment the dermatologist prescribes for you. Any procedure done in the office (like using lasers, or peels) will cost more than a prescription. However, a prescription, like differin for example, will still run you around $150. Find a good doctor, and they may start you off with some samples!





Hope this helps!

    Can any dermatologist do a skin cancer screening?

    never had one before, can i just go to any derm?Can any dermatologist do a skin cancer screening?
    YES. You also can do one yourself in front of a full-length mirror...anything you see that you even THINK is suspicious should be reported to your dermatologist who will check it out and let you know.


    Can any dermatologist do a skin cancer screening?
    A dermatologist is a specialist in diseases of the skin and that includes skin cancer. You need to check with your insurance provider because some insurances need a referral from your family doctor before they will pay for this. Then, by all means - make an appointment.

    Will going to a dermatologist really work?

    I have really bad acne, all over my face. And sometimes is get unbelievable. So, i was wondering, instead of just using over the counter creams etc that don't work, will going to a dermatologist actually work? I'm really tired of acne. I can't remember the last time I had clean skin. I must have been in 8. I'm 16 now.





    :l





    Thanks :DWill going to a dermatologist really work?
    I'll tell you the truth. Don't go. dermatologists don't work. All they do is make you pay a lot of money for stuff that doesn't work. All they do is guess, even they don't know what causes acne. Will going to a dermatologist really work?
    A dermatologist is your best bet. I also have had bad acne and i used to try everything over the counter like proactive, clearsil, clean and clear... etc. Anyways my doctor prescribed me tazorac and a antibiotic minocyline. They have worked wonders. The antibiotic kills bacteria internally that causes acne. Tazorac can possibly make your acne worse at first because it is pulling out pimples from under your skin that have not reached the skin surface yet, but it they would have came out eventually anyways.


    So after those pimples heal ( which tazorac speeds up the healing process) you should not get anymore pimples.


    I would also advise making sure your face is clean using a good cleanser 2-3 times a day. I use neutrogena foam wash which works great !


    Hope this helps :)
    i went to the doctor and they prescribed me retin-a. now i don't have as much acne as before but i have markd left over which will fade over time and retin-a also helps with that.





    i aslo tried over the counter products and they didn't do much. so if i were you i would go to the doctor.
    Yes, going to a dermatologist will most definitely work. I used to waste money buying over-the-counter products, but when nothing worked. I headed over to a dermatologist and he was able to prescribe me a cream that actually works.





    Good luck! [:
    go to the doctor and ask for a Benza Clin prescription


    it's a benynzol peroxide gel that will really help clear up your acne
    Head there at the very least there are a few things they can try.


    It should help - especially if nothing over the counter helped.

    How much a dermatologist charges you for an inspection of genital warts?

    If you ask him nicely the dermatologist will show you his genital warts for nothing.How much a dermatologist charges you for an inspection of genital warts?
    depends on where you live, what an odd question!How much a dermatologist charges you for an inspection of genital warts?
    Well it was a rash on my arms but I think it would be the same thing. A dermatologist is a specialist so it depends on your insurance if you have any. I had to pay $80 with this crap and the co-pays going up.
    Why don't you go to your Personal Doctor. They will know and he/she is cheaper than a dermatologist. They will also know exactly how to treat them. Dermatologists are specialist, therefore, cost you more. Doctors know about things like that though, too.
    I hate to answer with a question, but how much would you pay to see and smell other complete stranger's genitals? Take that number and multiple it by 100, which is at least the number of times the doctor had to do the exam for free while in training for 10 years, and then you will come close to the dollar figure the dermatologist should charge.


    How much does your mechanic charge per hour? How about your plumber? Interesting that they went to vocational school. Your dermatologist had at least 8 years of training AFTER college. And what they do can save your life. It's not fair, but someone has to look at these problems and I, as a dermatologist have given my life to such a task. And you have the audacity to ask me what is a fair charge????

    It all depends on what insurance you have (if any) and how much that particular dermatologist charges. Going to a dermatologist has really helped me with my acne. Ever since I received prescription cream and occasional antibiotic, my acne has been virtually non-existent.

    How do you diagram/label the word dermatologist?

    dermatologist is a noun, so it put into a sentence diagram as a subject, direct object, or object of a preposition. It depends on the context.





    As a subject, ';My dermatologist is great.';





    As a direct object, ';You should see my dermatologist';





    As an object of a preposition, ';There's a good magazine at my dermatologist';How do you diagram/label the word dermatologist?
    greek ';derma'; means skin...How do you diagram/label the word dermatologist?
    Dermatologist is a noun describing a skin doctor. It depends on where in the sentence in falls as to how it's diagrammed. In a sentence such as ';The dermatologist agreed to see her';, the word is the simple subject and would be on the main line, separated from the verb ';agreed'; with a line between, and with ';the'; (adj) off it. In a sentence like ';She visited the dermatologist';, it's a direct object and should extend from the verb (visited).





    Not sure this is what you want; hope it helps.

    On ocassion, I take a orange and squeeze some of the juice onto my skin and let it dry. When I wash my face at night, it comes right off.





    It works wonders and you don't have to have any fancy productHow do i get rid of acne scars without going to a dermatologist?
    Two types of acne scars exist; the first type is usually a spot of skin that is brown, pink or purple in color indicating that a pimple has been in that area of your skin. The second type of acne is known as an “ice pick” scar and it is the small hole you sometimes see on your skin where the lesion used to occupy. Inflamed lesions, such as cysts, pustules, or nodules are the major culprits in causing acne scars.

    How often should you visit the dermatologist to have cleaning? (removing of blackheads, pimples, whiteheads)?

    Is cleaning by trained people in anyway bad?How often should you visit the dermatologist to have cleaning? (removing of blackheads, pimples, whiteheads)?
    If your constantly having a massive breakout and just cleaning of your skin regularly doesn't help. Then you might want to visit them. They could tell you better and possible make scheduled visits. If your still new to the breakout scene. Its nothing big, just mother natures way of saying welcome to becoming an adult. For the most part, acne and the such is stress related. The more stress in your life, the more likely your going to break out. The whole if you eat chocolate or to many sweets and your going to break out thing is just a myth. If it were true, I would of needed a mask on some days. Wash your face and if you got it. Put a little witch hazel in a cotton pad or ball and wipe your face down. Help keep the dirt and oils from clogging your pores. Granted, I am no dermatologist and I don't know how bad it is. So I am just going off of experience.

    Is there any way to reduce inflamatory acne without help from a dermatologist?

    Every where I read It says to go to a dermatologists....but I don't have any money?Is there any way to reduce inflamatory acne without help from a dermatologist?
    Inflammatory means that it is infected and you need antibiotics.


    However if you don't have money you can't get a prescription for very cheap.





    Anyway, you just have to get the over the counter stuff, Clearasil, use as directed... It isn't going to work as well as antibiotics (however the use of antibiotics is debated anyway)





    The over the counter stuff is the same as the prescription stuff, just not as TOUGH.. i mean it isn't as strong, doesn't have the same concentration. It will still dry out your skin but stick with it. Don't use any lotions on it. Your skin will adapt. It may also get worse before it gets better.


    If you've already tried the over the counter stuff, try another kind.. there are different kinds of main ingredients in them. Also make sure you are trying one for weeks, don't give up on one.

    How do you get moles off your back without going to a dermatologist?

    i have some big moles on my back and i was wondering how to get rid of them without going to a dermatologist?How do you get moles off your back without going to a dermatologist?
    I, as a MLT, nurse, and victim of skin cancer, implore you to see a dermatologist about mole removal. Allow a trained professional to remove your moles. They may be removed by a biopsy alone in some cases. ALWAYS have an unwanted mole biopsied before removal. It may be costly but it's well worth the cost. Something like Melanoma is very difficult to detect once a mole is removed w/o a biopsy. Melanoma is the most deadly of all skin cancers. But detected early the cure rate is usually 100%. Please take my advice. Best of luck to you.How do you get moles off your back without going to a dermatologist?

    This site would explain all!!
    I heard if you put duct tape on them for like a month and then pull it off, it peels like a banana. Or is that a wart (i dont remember) I haven't tried it though. Don't listen to the other guy though. Cutting it of you just scar your skin or make it worse. Plus you could have skin cancer i'd have a doctor check it out.
    believe it or not... my younger brother had one on his chest, he grabbed a can of EASY OFF oven spray... sprayed the area very well and left it sit. It scabbed over and has begun to heal and although it left a small scar it removed what he wanted it to.


    I dont think this is the wisest method .. but there you go...
    Unless you are a big fan of getting cancer on the largest organ on your body you can't. Shell out the copay and go to the doctor. If you don't have insurance apply for some and wait out the moles on your back until you have the insurance.
    id cut them off... but i heard they come back
    seriously... just get a knife and get to it. drink something intoxicating before hand and have some towels or paper for the blood. if you don't want to do that.... go to the dermatologist because moles can also be signs of skin cancer.
    I'm not sure you can...Don't moles have roots deep in the skin or something, so even if you get the top off it'll still be underneath.

    My brother was diagnosed with Melonoma about six years and i have been interested in dermatology ever since.How long do you have to go to school to become a dermatologist in Iowa? What schools in Iowa?
    I'm so sorry about your brother. I hope that he is doing ok. I had done a paper on skin cancer/melanoma back in high school and wrote about the seriousness of the disease and how tanning beds are even worse than getting a tan from the actual sun. In order to become a dermatologist, one must attend medical school. First one must take pre-med courses which are pretty heavy in the sciences including biology, chemistry, biochem, organic chemistry and math and other prerequisites and then (I believe after obtaining a bachelor's degree) applying to several medical schools since the application process is highly competitive. It's awesome how you have a personal interest in the field since you have dealt with it first-hand. Bless you!How long do you have to go to school to become a dermatologist in Iowa? What schools in Iowa?
    First you need to get a bachelors degree in biology or health science. This will take four years and you can go to almost any 4-year college in Iowa. Then you need to go to graduate/medical school and that should take you four years plus and internship after you finish. The best place to go to for that would the University of Iowa.
