After Summer Skin Damage – Tips from Dr. Mark

Red in the face from not wearing SPF this summer? You should be! Luckily, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs Skin Cancer Surgeon, Dr. Kenneth Mark can tell you the signs of real damage to your skin from the summer sun.

Dr. Mark is a credible expert with four prestigious practices including two in the Hamptons one in Aspen and one in NYC and is also a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology at New York University.

Below are a few tips from Dr. Mark of what to look for after the summer and how to treat it:

  • Learn Your ABCs: Signs of skin cancer: Dr. Mark can educate your readers on what problem signs to look for in moles – the A, B, C, D rule:

o   Asymmetry

o   Border Irregularity

o   Color change or dark or multicolor

o   Diameter greater than 5-6 mm’s

  • Don’t hack it:  If you do find a troublesome spot, visiting an unqualified dermatologist can be just dangerous as a mole.  Your skin is your body’s largest organ and should be treated with both the finest cosmetic and medical care.  Dr. Mark can talk about what to look for when choosing a dermatologist—whether for medical or cosmetic procedures, and why it’s so crucial to choose wisely.
  • Treating Skin Cancer – What is Mohs Surgery: Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the most advanced and effective treatment procedure for skin cancer available today.  With the Mohs technique, physicians are able to see beyond the visible disease, to precisely identify and remove the entire tumor layer by layer while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue intact and unharmed. As the most exact and precise method of tumor removal, it minimizes the chance of re-growth and lessens the potential for scarring or disfigurement. The Mohs technique is also the treatment of choice for cancers of the face and other sensitive areas as it relies on the accuracy of a microscopic surgical procedure to trace the edges of the cancer and ensure complete removal of all tumors down to the roots during the initial surgery.
  • Downtime:  Local anesthesia is administered around the area of the tumor so the patient is awake during the entire procedure.
  • Shedding the light on Skin cancer: As an expert in Moh’s skin cancer surgery, Dr. Mark can advise readers on how to avoid the risks through various lifestyle choices and how to treat different stages with the most effective and least invasive procedures.

Ways to Protect Your Head and Eyes from the Sun

It’s important for you to protect your head when spending time in the sun. You don’t have to wear an ugly floppy hat to the beach. Instead, top off your look with a cool fedora or cap. These classic hats look good with anything in your wardrobe.

Many celebrities have been seen with a fedora on their head. This list includes Justin Timberlake, Kate Hudson and Lindsay Lohan. If you’re interested in picking one up, know that you do not have to pay a lot of money.

Retailers like Walmart and Target have been carrying these hats for some time now. You can also check stores like the Icing or Claire’s. If you don’t mind paying extra, Bailey of Hollywood has a line from $48 to $148. They come in many styles and colors for you to choose from.

As you know, a pair of shades are also important to have for the summertime. You no longer have to go with the bug-eyed sunglasses. Many frames and shapes are in from the avatar style to the classic Rayban look. Don’t always buy a pair of shades because they’re trendy. Look for the UVA/UVB sign, which means that they’ll protect your eyes from the sun.

Experiment with sunglasses and hats when shopping around. Do not go for the first thing you see just because it’s on trend, it’s on sale, or you like it. Try on them on to see if they flatter your face, skin color and eyes. Think of which items the hat or sunglasses will go with in your closet. Never waste money on an accessory that you’ll never wear! With these tips in mind, you’ll look hot and stay protected in the summer sun.
