May is skin cancer awareness month 🔍 and today is Melanoma Monday. We’re here to remind you to schedule your mole mapping appointment with your dermatologist, especially if you notice any changes in your moles or general skin lesions.

Mole mapping is a specialized method used by dermatologists to monitor and track moles on your skin over time. It involves taking high-resolution photographs of the skin’s surface, focusing specifically on moles or other potentially concerning spots. These images serve as a baseline reference for comparison during future appointments.

During mole mapping, dermatologists may use various imaging techniques such as a dermoscopy (a magnified view of the skin), or even advanced technologies like digital mole analysis software. By carefully documenting the appearance, size, shape, and any changes in moles, mole mapping helps identify any abnormalities or signs of skin cancer at an early stage.

Regular mole mapping sessions enable your dermatologist to detect subtle changes in moles that may indicate skin cancer development, facilitating timely intervention and treatment. It’s a proactive approach to skin health that empowers you to stay vigilant and address potential concerns promptly.

There is a good chance that you or someone who you know has rosacea ‼️ April is rosacea awareness month, to remind you that the first step to managing this tricky skin condition is a medical diagnosis 🩺❤️

Our dermatologists can help with a quick online consultation, that you can complete from anywhere at any time 🎯📲💻

Rosacea symptoms can often mimic other skin conditions or even allergies or acne, making it difficult to self-diagnose. A proper diagnosis from a dermatologist ensures an accurate treatment plan prescribed for your unique needs. Plus, it rules out more serious conditions that may share similar symptoms.

Don’t gamble with your skin health – seek expert advice for a calmer, healthier and happier skin! 💼💡

In such cases, our dermatologists may request an appointment at their rooms or recommend a referral to a local dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Great advice from Dr Vanessa Lapiner! 🫶🙌

We’ve perhaps all been there: you’re at the dermatologist, who asks you about your recent medical history and lifestyle. You walk them through your whole story and a couple of points are met with a raised eyebrow, a wary smile, or even a subdued sigh. You know they’re not entirely happy with what they’re hearing.

So, who doesn’t love a listicle? Dermatologist Dr Vanessa Lapiner (Root4 by Dr. Vanessa Lapiner) counts down her top 10 things that your Dermatologist wishes you wouldn’t do!🚫

This is not just a list of don'ts; it's a roadmap to safe and effective skincare. From the allure of quick fixes like mole removal at non-medical spas to the risks of DIY beauty treatments that can lead to severe health implications, Dr Lapiner's list is a must-read.
