Find & Book a Dermatologist

Your skin, hair, and nails can signal everything from a stubborn breakout to an early melanoma, and telling a harmless mole from a dangerous one often takes a trained eye and a dermatoscope rather than a glance. A dermatologist diagnoses and treats more than 3,000 conditions, performs full-body skin cancer screenings, biopsies suspicious lesions, and handles procedures like cryotherapy, excisions, and prescription acne or eczema regimens that a general practitioner usually refers out. Some focus on medical dermatology, others on surgical (Mohs) or cosmetic work, so matching the specialty to your concern matters. OpenMyPro connects you with verified dermatologists and skin care doctors you can compare and book online.

What to look for in a dermatologist

• ✓Board certification by the American Board of Dermatology, and for skin cancer removal, fellowship training in Mohs micrographic surgery.
• ✓Experience with your specific concern, since medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology are distinct focus areas.
• ✓In-office biopsy and dermatoscopy so a suspicious mole or lesion can be evaluated and sampled the same visit.
• ✓Familiarity with your skin tone, since conditions like melasma, keloids, and skin cancer present differently across skin types.
• ✓Telehealth options for follow-ups, rash photos, and prescription refills between in-person exams.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see a dermatologist instead of my regular doctor?

See a dermatologist if you have a changing or new mole, acne that has not responded to over-the-counter products, persistent rashes or eczema, suspected skin infections, hair loss, or any growth you want evaluated for skin cancer. Dermatologists can biopsy and remove lesions in-office, which most primary care doctors refer out.

How often should I get a full-body skin check?

Most people benefit from a baseline full-body exam, then yearly screenings if they have fair skin, a history of sunburns or tanning, many or atypical moles, or a personal or family history of skin cancer. If you notice a spot that changes in size, shape, or color, or one that bleeds or will not heal, book sooner rather than waiting for your annual visit.

What happens during a first dermatology visit?

The dermatologist reviews your skin history and concerns, then examines the area or your whole body, often using a dermatoscope to magnify suspicious spots. If something looks concerning, they may take a quick biopsy in the office. For conditions like acne or eczema, you typically leave with a treatment plan and prescriptions; results from any biopsy usually follow within one to two weeks.

Do dermatologists handle cosmetic treatments too?

Many do, including Botox, fillers, laser treatments, chemical peels, and scar revision, but not every dermatologist offers them. If your goal is cosmetic, look for one who lists those services and has procedure experience; if your concern is medical, prioritize a doctor focused on medical or surgical dermatology.
