Quality signals to look for

Look for dermatologists who maintain transparent communication about diagnosis and treatment options, provide written documentation of any biopsies or procedures, and explain costs clearly before you commit. A provider should be willing to discuss your medical history and answer questions about why a particular treatment is recommended.
