Dermatologists in San Jose
6 dermatology practices are mapped within about nine miles of central San Jose. A shop can show you an ingredient list; it cannot look at a mole, a rash that will not settle or acne that scars. Those are a dermatologist's job, and the American Academy of Dermatology's rule of thumb is one skin check a year for adults.
San Jose is mild most of the year; the index mainly moves with summer UV and winter dryness. The hour-by-hour table shows when the UV is lowest if you want to be outside.
The 6 dermatology practices, closest first
Before you go
- Call and ask whether they take new patients, whether a referral is needed under your plan, and how far out the first appointment is; medical dermatology books weeks ahead in most US cities.
- Bring the products you use, or photos of the labels: a reaction is easier to trace with the ingredient list in hand.
- Photograph the spot or rash now, with a coin for scale; many things look different on the day.
What works
- A mole that is asymmetric, has an uneven border, more than one colour, is larger than a pencil eraser or is changing (the ABCDEs) is an appointment, not a product.
- Stop new products two weeks before an appointment for a reaction, so the doctor sees the skin and not the latest layer.
- Ask whether a prescription has an over-the-counter version; adapalene, for example, is sold without one in the US.
- Sunscreen advice from a dermatologist is specific to your skin; take it over anything a shop says, including us.
