Dermatologists
are physicians who specialize and train in the management of
skin diseases like dermatitis and other infectious conditions,
cancers, melanomas, moles, and other tumors of the skin; nail
disorders and diseases like nail bacteria, fungi, yeast and
virus, paronychia, psoriasis, and nail injuries; and hair disorders
like alopecia, excess hair, hair loss, and head lice.
Some
medical conditions can easily be cured by general practitioners,
but there are others for which you must see a dermatologist.
You
should see a dermatologist when you have
-
Common
skin diseases such as acne, eczema, or rosacea
-
Moles
that have grown, bleed, or look unusual
-
Herpes
-
Facial
flushing
-
Hair
disorders like alopecia, hair loss, or head lice
-
Nail
infections like fungus, nail injuries, or ingrown nails
-
A
suspicious lesion of the skin (which could be skin cancer)
Skin
cancer is curable if detected early. It is thus important to
see a dermatologist just as soon as you discover a lesion that
looks suspicious to you. There are certain risk factors that
you should be aware of as they increase the likelihood of developing
skin cancer. These risk factors are:
-
Family
history of skin cancer
-
History
of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, tanning
beds, or sun lamps
-
Sun-sensitive,
tend to sunburn in the sun, rather than tan
-
Severe
blistering sunburns
-
Fair
skin with blond hair and blue, green, or gray eyes
-
Large
unusual moles
-
History
of x-ray treatments for acne
Too
much exposure to the sun and sunburn is a major risk factor
in the development of skin cancer. A visitor to Oahu should
consider this factor seriously as a lot of time is spent out
in the sun - whether it's on the beaches, or hikes on the mountains.
Sunburns are literally burns from the sun's ultra-violet (UV)
rays. In minor cases, there is redness and irritation in the
skin. In severe cases there is severe skin burning and blistering.
If the skin is not treated immediately, there is an increased
risk of skin cancer developing. The best thing is always prevention,
and to prevent sunburns, it is essential that you use sunscreen
prior to going out in the sun. This protects the skin from the
harmful rays of the sun. But in case you do get sunburns, especially
if they are severe with blisters and extreme pain, you must
immediately see a dermatologist.
You
must also see a dermatologist if you have any of the other conditions
mentioned above. It becomes even more important if one or more
of the risk factors are involved.
To
make finding a dermatologist easy for you during your trip to
Oahu, Oahu.us has listed all the dermatologists under their
respective areas. You can get in touch with any one of the dermatologists
depending on the area of Oahu that you are in.
