Question: How much will a dermatologist charge for removing small flat moles? I have one small half-inch dark-brown flat mole on the corner of my face near my eye.How much will a dermatologist charge to remove it?And how old do you have to be to get them removed?

Answer: To remove a mole surgically will easily cost $75 and above depending on the size and type of the mole. Most surgery method leaves behind an unsightly scar that is more prominent than the mole itself. You better think twice. Usually laser treatment is more favorable to treat small flat moles. But the downside of it is the associated high cost. You will need a minimum of 3 sessions to remove a single mole. Why not try natural alternative. I got mine removed with baking soda and castor oil. You can easily get hold of these ingredients in your kitchen, plus it is painless. Most of my moles drop between 7 to 10 days, leave no scar! Hope you find this method works for you too!

Question: 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

Answer: 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.

Question: 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?

Answer: 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.

Question: 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?

Answer: 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.

Question: 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.

Answer: 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. =)

Question: 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?

Answer: 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.

Question: 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?

Answer: 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.

Question: 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.

Answer: 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.

Question: 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?

Answer: 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!
