Integrated Dermatology

Many people might be surprised to learn that the largest organ in their bodies is the skin. Your skin makes up over 16% of your total body mass and is vital to protecting the other 84%. Taking great care of your skin is more than choosing the right cleanser or moisturizer — it also means getting regular skin checks. Dr. Barry Kuttner and Dr. Kathleen Herne of Integrated Dermatology of West Palm Beach, FL, provides dermatologist services including skin checks, which are an important preventative health procedure. 

Taking Care of the Skin You're In

Your skin performs many important functions for your body. It not only protects your body and internal organs from the sun but can also help keep germs and environmental pollutants from getting inside. Your skin delivers important sensory information, regulates body temperature, and stores one of your body's most vital resources — water. Wearing sunscreen when you expose your skin to the sun's radiation is a simple and effective way to protect your skin every day. 

Regular Skin Checks 

There are a variety of conditions and skin concerns that can be assessed as part of a regular skin check. Establishing a relationship with dermatologists like Dr. Kuttner and Dr. Herne at Integrated Dermatology of West Palm Beach, FL, will help determine a baseline of your skin's condition and monitor any changes. It is the changes in many skin conditions that may help diagnose early skin cancers or other skin issues. 

Moles, skin tags, freckles, and other blemishes can be examined and documented over time to determine when a biopsy is indicated. The earlier any concerning changes are found, the sooner any cancers may be diagnosed — leading to better treatment options and better odds for beating them.

A regular skin check is a simple office procedure. Your dermatologist will ask questions about any noticeable changes in your skin, document areas of concern, and, in turn, you can ask any questions about how to better care for your body's largest organ.

Contact Dr. Herne and Dr. Kuttner at Integrated Dermatology of West Palm Beach, in West Palm Beach, FL to learn more and schedule a dermatologist exam. Call (561) 964-6664 and make your skin a health priority.
