11 Questions You Should Ask Your Dermatologist

This is a horrible article, FULL of misleading information! A good dermatologist cares about your HEALTH and wants to check your body for skin cancer, not talk about botox or how to make you LOOK better! If you want to talk about cosmetic concerns than make sure you see a COSMETIC dermatologist. Acne is NOT affected by your diet. And skin cancer can show up ANYWHERE on your body, it is NOT more common in new moles! It can show up even in places you don't have a mole, even in places that have never seen sun. I know this because I've worked for several dermatologists.

Helpful and important! I'd like to add that a lot of the foods we eat are devoid of important nutrients due to processing and cooking. Vitamin and mineral supplements are essential to good health.

if you have health insurance, i think you should take advantage of going to see a dermatologist, but sadly some dermatologist don't really care, they would just give you what you want rather than checking at your skin thoroughly

Great article!!!!!

Just because you do not burn does not necessarily mean that you have not done damage, particularly if you are fair skinned. Ten to twenty minutes of sun a day is all you need for you body to effectively interact with Vitamin D.

by bailey7 Friday, February 18, 2011 at 10:15AM Report as inappropriate

You only need 10 minutes of sun on your face and hands each day to produce all the Vitamin D your body needs. More than that is unnecessary, risking skin damage and cancer.

I am tired about hearing how EVIL the sun is too! You should get some sun on your skin every now & then. Just do not burn yourself!

Hmnph! This was the wrong article for me! "/

yep...Most women right now (in the real world) can't even afford to go to a dermatologist. And if they did....I believe skin CA would have top billing. Also rosacea and other Serious Problems! Most drs. I've been to barely have time to look at your problem areas and LISTEN! I have moles all over my body and one female "Dr?" years ago....didn't even look at my body or one mole! Not really funny...considering the possible outcomes of such negligence....Women's healthcare is sad. And I was a nurse at the time. Doesn't matter......

I agree... and saying that staying out of the sun will prevent skin cancer? Talk about zombies with vitiman D deficiencys...depression anyone?
