What does a dermatologist do?
Dermatologists diagnose and treat conditions of the skin, hair, and nails — acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer screening, suspicious moles, rashes, hair loss, and more. Many also offer cosmetic procedures (laser, fillers, chemical peels), though insurance typically only covers medical visits.
Most adults should have a baseline skin check at some point, especially if they have fair skin, a family history of skin cancer, or significant sun exposure. A dermatologist can spot early-stage skin cancers when they're still treatable in-office.
When to see a dermatologist vs. your primary-care provider
Routine rashes, mild acne, and common skin irritation can usually be handled by your primary-care provider. Reach for a dermatologist when a skin issue is persistent, painful, spreading, or visibly changing — and any time you notice a new or growing mole, a sore that won't heal, or asymmetric skin lesions.
Many insurance plans allow direct self-referral to a dermatologist, but some HMOs require a primary-care referral first. The provider profiles below list accepted insurance so you can rule out mismatches before calling.

Frequently asked
Is a skin check covered by insurance?
Medically necessary skin exams (checking suspicious moles, evaluating a rash, screening at-risk patients) are typically covered. Purely cosmetic visits and elective procedures usually aren't. Confirm with the practice and your insurer before booking.
How often should I get a full-body skin check?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests annual checks for adults with risk factors (fair skin, family history of skin cancer, lots of sun exposure, prior atypical moles). Lower-risk adults can ask their primary-care provider when to start.
Can a dermatologist treat hair loss?
Yes — dermatologists evaluate the cause (genetic, hormonal, autoimmune, scarring vs. non-scarring) and discuss medical, topical, or in-office treatments. Some practices have a dedicated hair-loss clinic.
