Should Your Hairdresser Screen You for Skin Cancer? Fox News
Next time you get a haircut, you might end up with something you didn't expect: a referral to a dermatologist.
A survey of Texas hair salons out today found more than a third of stylists check at least half of their customers for suspicious moles on the scalp, and most have referred people to a doctor lest the mole turn out to be skin cancer .
What's more, half the hairdressers were keen to learn more about skin cancer to help extend the reach of doctors screening for the disease, according to findings in the Archives of Dermatology .
"What we would like to do in the next couple of years is to train as many hair professionals as possible," said Alan Geller, of Harvard's School of Public Health in Boston, who led the new work. "We think this holds a lot of promise."
He's not the only one hoping to spread the gospel of modern medicine through hair salons and barbershops, whose clientele might not otherwise see a health provider.
In 2008, for instance, a foundation sponsored by the Abbott Fund began offering free diabetes and high-blood pressure screening at black-owned barbershops in New York City.

dermatologist.?
I am planning on seeing dermatologist to find a sotution for my too much faicla hair and acne. I heard about hormonal Imbalance situation. I think I most likely have it because of alot of hair..and Pimples as well. Do u know how the proceder goes..whether do they make you take off clothes..or what? Do u know any dermatologist in lawrenceville georgia? thank you for ur help.
btw. i am only 18 and a male.
a dermat. can only treat you for acne you have to see a hair specialist you can call your local college and see if they have Liscence Electrologist there they treat the hair to make the roots weak and it isnt painful students out in california is 10 dollars and hour but a graduate is 20 dollars and hr. out here its called A.I.E
What can a dermatologist do to get rid of pimples?
I've tried everything to get rid of my pimples but I still break out about once a month. Could going to a dermatologist help?
Also, i probably won't outgrow it because my mom still gets the same acne and she's in her forty's
I'll answer your question with a question, if that's okay.
Do you think seeing a dermatologist could hurt you?
If you don't... well, neither do I.
(As for what a dermatologist can do for you: they
can prescribe something you might not be familiar
with.)
Best of health & good luck.
I finally discovered something that I believe has not been widely publicized because no company can patent it and make lots and lots of money off of people like you and me. It's called Pantothenic Acid - a fancy name for Vitamin B5. Go ahead and Google it...you will see a lot of references to curing acne. I was skeptical as with everything, but my skin has never been so soft and clear since I was probably 12 (I'm 26 now).
The one thing you have to remember when taking this vitamin supplement is that you must take it in high doses. You can buy it at any vitamin store, but only buy it in 1000mg (1gm) per pill strength. I found it online the cheapest.
To start, the recommended program starts you out with 3-5 grams a day for about 5 days. This helps your body get acclimated to the vitamin. You should start to notice a difference after 2 or 3 days, smaller pours, healed blemishes, and I even noticed increased energy. After 5 days increase your dosage to 10 grams a day. I know it sounds like a lot, to take 10 pills a day, but think about how much you want clear skin and that should get you past it. The recommended program has you taking 10 grams for 3 months before backing off to 3-5 for maintenance. I actually only took 10 grams for a month and now am just maintaining with 5-6 grams a day and its working just fine. I did miss a day of pills and immediately started to breakout again so this is one of those things you must be faithful with.
Expect to shell out about $25 a month on 1000mg Pantothenic Acid. A small, small price to pay when you think of all the money wasted on the products out there.
There are very little negative side effects. The only thing I would recommend is to take 3 pills with each meal, and one with a snack, otherwise you may get a little gas or slight diahrea. Nothing major though and by taking with meals it eliminates that problem.
If I help just one person with this recommendation, writing this would have been more than worth it. I know how frustrating it is to have acne, but it doesn't have to be for any one else out there who trys this simple yet effective treatment.
How does a dermatologist check whether a patient's hair follicle is alive?
A spot of my hair lost due to an injury of my scalp. It's been two years. A dermatologist said that stand of hair would grow back just juged by beholding. Do you think that conclusion could be accurate?
Yeah it could be but there are tests to be done on the scalp and hair around the bald spot to see if the hair could grow back or to see if the root is dead. the hair that grows out of the scalp is already dead all that is alive is the root its self.
How likely is it that a dermatologist and an anesthesiologist could open a private business together?
I'm going to dermatology and my friend is going for anesthesiology. Owning your own business makes a dermatologist about $400,000 a year as opposed to working in a hospital and getting $180,000. Same goes for any doctor. You make more if you own your own place. How would a dermatologist and an anesthesiologist go into business together? Is it possible? Is this a stupid idea?
The business of medicine is very complicated, especially for anesthesiologists, as we (usually) rely on other physicians to provide us with patients (surgeons, mostly). Unless you're doing pain management you'll most likely need to be affiliated with a hospital or surgery center.
Although you make more if you own your own business, you also have markedly increased expenses (rent, staff salaries and benefits, supply costs, etc) that an employed physician does not have. The only thing that matters is how much you get to take home in the end.
Unless you are close to finishing your residency, it's kinda silly to even think about such things. And if you ARE in residency, you'd know that your plan isn't really feasible.
How much does a dermatologist usually cost?
I know we live in different states, different insurance, different dermatologist, but how much do they cost normally?
And if it's a respectable price, can anyone help me convince my mom to get me to a dermatologist, she keeps on saying how expensive it is.
[Yes, the dermatologist I want to go to covers our insurance]
It's for face acne. Not Severe.
I went to see a dermatologist 2 months ago and she prescribed me some really good stuff doxyciline pills, and 2 creams for my face, all my acne is gone and it was all 20 dollars i live in the U.S. though,and i am on my dad's insurance he has really good insurance, if your trying to go see a derm. with no insurance then yea its a lot of money like maybe 50-100 dollars depending on how bad your acne is,like you said it depends on where you live. If you cant see a derm, just try my routine my derm. told me to do,wash your face twice a day, with warm water to clean out your pores,and rinse with cold to close your pores back up for there's no dirt going back in there to prevent more pimples,use a moisturizing soap like dove, and if you have really dry skin apply a lotion like coca butter,aveeno,baby lotion, DON'T PICK YOUR PIMPLES, i use to but now i don't and it really works they go away w/o leaving a scar,drink plenty of water a day,and eat your fruits and veggies,good luck, i hope i helped,if you have any more concerns please email me. =)
Who has been to a dermatologist for treating acne and had good results?
I have mild acne which I got a few months ago and i am scared it might worsen. I am considering going to a dermatologist. Is that a good idea?
I always felt like they were experimenting on me, like let's try this, OK, now let's try this! They seemed to love prescribing antibiotics, which I think is a terrible way to treat acne, because it makes the bacteria stronger. I have great, smooth skin now, but only because I took control, started being gentler to my skin, and learned how to treat it myself. Try this:
Don't touch your face. You'd be surprised how much your skin can improve just by doing something so simple.
The over-the-counter stuff worked way better for me than any antibiotics or expensive acne treatments. There are three steps:
1. Cleanse with a non-soap cleanser like Cetaphil or Purpose.
2. Apply a product with 1% or 2% salicylic acid to get rid of dead skin and oil buildup that can clog pores. A good and cheap one (around $10) is Neutrogena Rapid Clear. It says on the bottle that you'll see results in 8 hours, and it's true!
3. Now that you've got the salicylic acid working to unclog your pores, you need to apply a product that will kill the bacteria that's helping to cause pimples. A good one is the weakest concentration of benzoyl peroxide, because you need to be gentle to your skin. Neutrogena makes an acne spot treatment with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. You can use it sparingly all over your face.
Start out doing this once a day. It can be your nighttime routine or something. See how your skin takes to it. Depending on how well it works, you can either do every other day or go up to twice a day.
and it's now going away
only because i've stopped using any product
including soap
wash your face with (warm) water only [during your shower,etc]
constantly
it's the best way to get rid of acne
other products usually just make things worse
use water
and water only
and it'll improve in 2-4 weeks
=)
How would you find a good dermatologist?
How would you go about finding a good dermatologist in your area? Are there any online or any good resources?
As a rule your PCP (Primary Care Physician) has to refer you to a specialists to meet the requirements of your insurance company. If you don't have insurance then I would ask friends, family, co-workers, etc. Then once I got a few names I would Google them to check on lawsuits, disciplinary action, etc.
How much does accutane cost, and is it hard to find a dermatologist?
Does anyone know how much it costs to get Accutane? Mind you I don't have any insurance and am living on my own. I go to school part time and work part time. I was wondering if I might be able to afford it.
For those of you who have insurance, how much does the insurance company pay, and how much do you pay? Should I look into getting an insurance provider or would it cost about the same if I were to pay out of pocket?
Also, is it hard to find a dermatologist? How does one go about finding one? Maybe the dermatologist can help me find an insurance carrier that would help with the costs.
And are there other costs for being on this medicine? I'm pretty sure the visits to the dermatologist will cost money, and the cost of gas for getting to and from the office. Anything else?
Thanks for all your help.
Accutane cost alot. Determatologist are not hard to find and or not that expensive. You may not even Accutane, that's only for people with severe acne and who have tried everything else.
What exactly do dermatologist do? And how can they help with your skin problems like acne or blotchyness?
Like what do dermatologist do for you? And what goes on when you visit one? Is it benifical to go to a dermatologist for things like (not severe) acne?
I've been to a dematologist for problems such as psoriasis, but I wouldn't go for acne unless it was severe. Try ProActive Solutions. IT WORKS!!!!!!!! I had awful acne up until I started to use it! Hope this helped! Good luck!
How much is a visit to the Dermatologist without health insurance?
I've tried everything and I can't get rid of my acne. I don't have health insurance because I've turned 19 and I only have a part-time job and am a part-time student. How much would it cost to go to a dermatologist and get a prescription?
I live in Rochester MN with the Mayo Clinic so I will probably go there.
The dermatologist visit is usually around 60-100 dollars. A general practitioner can also prescribe acne medication, so if you have a health clinic on campus check out that option. If you dont have prescription insurance either, make sure that you ask for them to prescribe a medication that has a generic available. Brand name creams can easily be over $100 and only last about a month. A good one to ask for is Retin-A, its generic is Tretinoin.
