If you don't protect your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays via the sun or tanning beds, you increase your risk of developing harmful or dangerous skin conditions. These include sun or hyperpigmentation spots that occur on the face, arms, hands, and legs when exposed to the sun for long periods. Because the sun dries out skin and depletes its elasticity, causing wrinkles and saggy skin, you may also notice your skin aging faster than it should. Excessive sun exposure can also lead to inflammation, scarring, and one too many sunburns. If you're searching for a dermatologist in Honolulu, HI, look no further than our doctors at Dawson Dermatology Dr. Kevin Dawson, Dr. Douglas Chun, Dr. Sarah Grekin, and Dr. Erin Fuller.
Benefits of Having a Dermatologist
Our dermatologist can provide comprehensive skin care for your entire family. During each visit to our office, we'll evaluate your skin from scalp to toe and address any suspicious moles bothering your mind. Our dermatologist evaluates and updates your medical history, keeps a record of your symptoms, analyzes information about skin conditions, prescribes appropriate topicals or antibiotics, and informs you about available treatment options, which may include Mohs Surgery in moderate cases. The goal of treatment is to educate you about sun safety and always protect you from skin cancer, the world's most dangerous cancer type.
