What Is a Dermatologist?

If you are concerned with the health of your skin, then Dr. Heather Layher is the Boise Dermatologist to turn to. A dermatologist is a physician that specializes in a wide variety of conditions affecting the health of your skin, hair and nails. Below is just a brief look at what Dr. Layher and her team at Idaho Dermatology Mohs Collective can treat.

Skin Conditions

From acne to eczema, rosacea to psoriasis, moles to warts and cysts, a dermatologist has extensive training in the management of all skin conditions. While a skin biopsy may be needed to confirm the diagnosis in some cases, most often a dermatologist can provide a diagnosis and treatment plan simply by thoroughly looking at the skin.

Skin Cancer

Dermatologists are also the experts at managing skin cancers through destructive, chemical, or most common surgical methods. The three most common skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Fortunately, with early detection, most skin cancers can be cured without the need for more extensive measures like radiation or chemotherapy. Once yearly full-body skin checks with a trained dermatology provider will give you the best chances of early detection should you develop a skin cancer.
