FAQ’s
What are cherry angiomas?
Cherry angiomas are common benign growths of blood vessels that occur on the surface of the skin. They are generally harmless and become more prevalent as individuals age. While they are mostly harmless and not a cause for concern, they can occasionally appear in larger numbers or sizes on babies, prompting further examinations. Cherry angiomas themselves are not associated with cancer and typically do not pose any health risks.
What are DPN’s?
DPN’s, also Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra, are a benign skin condition that is more common in Blacks and Hispanics, but it can occur in anyone! While the exact cause of DPNs is not entirely understood, they are believed to be related to genetics and tend to run in families. Factors such as sun exposure and aging might also contribute to their development.
Three Most common types of cysts
Dr. Moore discusses the three most common types of cysts: pilar cysts, sebaceous cysts, and digital mucus cysts. He explains the characteristics of each, including potential complications and the importance of professional treatment over at-home remedies. Highlighting procedures ranging from simple in-office removals to potential surgical interventions, Dr. Moore emphasizes the need for proper medical care.
Is Skin cancer common on black skin?
Dr. Moore tackles an important and often overlooked topic: the prevalence of skin cancer in black patients. Through his expertise, Dr. Moore clarifies a common misconception, revealing that while skin cancer is less common in people of color, with a lifetime risk of 1 in 1000 compared to 1 in 38 in the Caucasian population, the consequences can be more severe due to factors like late diagnosis.
What Is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a very common condition known for loss of pigmentation of the skin. It affects 1% of the population in the United States, which equals out to about one in a hundred. The exact cause of vitiligo is not fully understood, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic, autoimmune, and environmental factors. It can affect people of any age, gender, or ethnicity, but it often begins before the age of 20.
