Dermatology and Patient Care Approach
Dermatology involves distinguishing between conditions that may look similar but require very different treatments. Persistent rashes, changes in moles, hair shedding, scaling, or unusual skin growths may require a detailed history and physical examination before treatment is selected.
Depending on the concern, assessment can include dermoscopy, laboratory testing, fungal testing, or a skin biopsy. Treatment may involve topical medication, oral therapy, injections, phototherapy, or office-based procedures.
Dr. Duffy’s work also includes patient education about everyday skin care. Rochester Regional Health has featured her guidance on appropriate skin-care routines for children and teenagers, including avoiding unnecessary or irritating products.
For patients concerned about skin cancer, National Cancer Institute skin cancer information explains common forms, diagnosis, and established treatment options.
