When it comes to proper skincare well scheduled appointments with a professional skin doctor (dermatologist) are highly recommended. Reason being, a dermatologist will help you to follow a healthy skincare routine and to ensure that your skin performs efficiently at all time. In fact it is highly recommended that someone should see a dermatologist at least once a year for complete skincare examination. However that is never a fixed routine. It’s still okay to see a dermatologist whenever you want or feel like and here are some of the top five symptoms that could force you to make an appointment with your dermatologist right away.

If Your Moles Are Changing

The term mole is often used to refer to dark spots on the skin. When moles start changing in size, color, texture, and shape it’s often advisable to seek medical advice. This is because any form of mole irregularities can always mean an underlying health condition. For instance skin cancer can appear as dark spot with irregular borders, large moles, or shiny bumps. Seeing your skin doctor will help you to determine the truth. Some may also appear as red, purple, brown, or blue.

If Your  Product Backfires

We have different skin types. They include dry, oily, sensitive, and combination among the rest. Every skin type has specific types of skin care products that suits it best. However the sensitive skin is the most delicate of all. Irrespective of which skin type you’ve got, you could find certain skincare products backfiring on use. If this is the case with your Wrinkle Reducer for instance, don’t wait for another minute, rather step out there and seek the right medical advice from your dermatologist.

If You’ve Got Brown Patches

Brown patches on the face and the lips are known as malesma. They are commonly associated with pregnancy and can be quite irritating. Malesma is caused by hormonal changes and can be easily reversed. However if you are suing any over the counter product without any success you should call on your dermatologist immediately. Failure to do so, the patches could worsen and leave you looking pretty much ugly.

If Your Wound Doesn’t Heal

Under the right diet the body is able to produce its own defense mechanism. This applies to the skin too. When you’ve got a wound, it should clot and dry up to leave you with a smooth heal. But if your wound wouldn’t just go away or heal up you should be on red alert. This could as well be a sign of cancer. You should book an appointment immediately with your doctor and let the carry out a skin test to determine what it is.

If You’ve Got A Relentless Itch

Not far from a product that backfires is a product that your skin could be allergic to. John an employee with the dermactiv skin care products says that allergies are way too common than backfiring products and could form the basis of such unwanted skincare outcomes when not arrested on time. Because of this anyone who has an allergic reaction should see their skincare doctor immediately. 

It is really important to book in for at least one appointment with your dermatologist annually. But if any of these cases crop up, don’t wait until that appointment day as it could be too late. Instead see your skin doctor immediately.
