Ronald C. Knipe, MD Dermatology with Excellence
Orlando Dermatologist
We specialize in dermatological surgery, including the treatment of skin cancers,
and non-cancerous growths, as well as treating a wide range of general dermatological skin conditions. We’ll be glad to answer all questions and concerns when we meet you here in person. Doctor Knipe reminds you that an unusual appearing mole could be a MELANOMA, a dangerous form of skin cancer. Evaluating your moles every one to two months is an appropriate time frame to see if any have changed in size, color, shape or if any other irregularity has developed. The A-B-C-D-E's of MELANOMA are a good way of evaluating suspicious moles. "A" stands for Asymmetry, "B" stands for borders. "C" stands for color, "D" for diameter and "E" stands for evolution. Please keep these in mind when examining your moles. We can help with the removal of moles. Giving Back...Honduras Mission

The Sunshine State and Your Skin
Here in Florida, we enjoy an abundance of sunshine. Although the effects of the sun are often delayed 10 to 40 years, there are many precautions that can reduce sun damage. If you enjoy outdoor activities, consider doing them before 10 a.m. or after 3 p.m. when the ultraviolet rays are significantly less.
Wide-brimmed hats are also extremely useful in protecting the ears and face, and using a sunscreen with an S-P-F of at least 30 on a regular basis will significantly reduce your overall sun exposure.
Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before your sun exposure and reapplied every two hours. We will be happy to go over these and your other concerns when we see you.
