How Do I Know If I Have Sun Damage? (And What to Do About It)
Most of us love a little sunshine. Whether it’s lounging by the pool, gardening on the weekend, or just enjoying a walk outside, the sun has a way of lifting our mood. But while we’re soaking in the warmth, our skin might be soaking up a little more than we bargained for.

Dermatology Questions Patients Often Ask
Is adult acne a medical condition?
Yes. Adult acne can reflect hormonal influences, blocked pores, inflammation, or other underlying triggers. Landmark Dermatology treats acne across all ages, with personalized treatment plans and follow-ups to help reduce outbreaks, manage scars, and support long-term skin health.
What is sun damage and what does it look like?
Sun damage refers to skin changes caused by years of UV exposure, including dark spots, a rough or leathery texture, fine lines, and broken blood vessels. It often doesn't show up until years after the exposure happened, and in some cases can be an early warning sign worth having a dermatologist check. Read more about sun damage.
How often should I get a full skin exam?
For most adults, a yearly full skin exam is a good practice—especially if you have a history of sun exposure, atypical moles, fair skin, or prior skin cancers. Landmark Dermatology offers annual skin checks and mole evaluations as part of preventive care to catch early signs of skin cancer and other concerns.
What happens during a first dermatology appointment?
At your first visit to Landmark Dermatology, your dermatologist will review your medical history and concerns, perform a thorough skin exam, and discuss findings. You may receive a diagnosis, treatment plan, or be scheduled for further testing like a biopsy. Expect this to be collaborative, with time to ask questions and understand your options.
Is a skin biopsy painful?
Most skin biopsies are done with local anesthesia to numb the area, so discomfort is usually minimal. Landmark Dermatology performs biopsies in-office when a spot or growth needs further examination under a microscope to check for skin cancer or other conditions.
How long does it take to get biopsy results?
Biopsy processing typically takes about one to two weeks after the tissue is examined in a pathology lab. Timing can vary based on the lab’s workflow and the specifics of the sample being analyzed.
Can a dermatologist help with hair thinning or hair loss?
Yes. Conditions such as alopecia, which cause hair thinning or loss, fall within the scope of dermatological care. Landmark Dermatology evaluates scalp health, determines the cause, whether hormonal, inflammatory, or autoimmune, and then recommends a treatment plan that may include prescription therapies or procedural options.
Should I see a dermatologist for eczema flare-ups?
Persistent or severe eczema often needs more than over-the-counter care. Landmark Dermatology diagnoses the type of dermatitis you’re experiencing and prescribes treatments to reduce inflammation, itching, and the frequency of flare-ups, often with long-term management strategies.
What’s the difference between medical and cosmetic dermatology?
Medical dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin diseases (e.g., skin cancer, eczema, acne), while cosmetic dermatology addresses appearance-related concerns. Landmark Dermatology offers both medical care and select cosmetic services designed to gently and safely enhance your skin's appearance, including injectable treatments, peels, and rejuvenation procedures tailored to your goals.
