Brown spots on the skin could mean simply unsightly growths or life threatening lesions. Common but benign growths could be at least three kinds: sun freckles, flat patches of darkened skin called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and seborrheic keratoses. More dangerous growths could be pigmented skin cancers like pigmented basal cell carcinoma, or even early or mid-late malignant melanomas.
Contact dermatitis is a common cause for rashes in Florida. This skin condition is caused by an allergic reaction to a certain material that comes in contact with the skin. The reaction appears on the skin as a rash several hours or several days after contact has taken place.
It generally presents as a red, itchy, scaly rash and often results from contact with plants, soaps and cleansers, rubber, nickel, solvents, resins and a wide variety of chemicals and drugs.Dr. Kaminester realizes that most patients first want relief from their rash. Then, they want help to make the diagnosis of its cause so they do not get it back.

Eczema is a group of common skin conditions that affects up to one out of every ten people at some point in their lives, and tends to be especially common in infants and young children. These conditions often develop as a result of an immune system or allergic reaction, and involve irritation and inflammation of the skin on the face, neck, hands, ankles or anywhere else on the body.
Note: Patients may ask not to have such an exam and just concentrate on the specific problem that brings them to see Dr. Kaminester, but having one (at no extra charge) could save your life as it has for hundreds of Dr. Kaminester's patients! Dr. Kaminester was the first dermatologist, early in his career, to publish on the importance of having a dermatologist do a complete skin exam on his patients.

As a new Floridian, I was very lucky to get a referral to Dr. K! My wife and I visited his very friendly practice a few weeks ago and were treated as if we had been seeing him for 20 years. Great care by all of his staff was just the start of a wonderful and very professional experience! On my follow up visit, I had a growth removed in less than 5 seconds that I was told back in New York, would need plastic surgery. Certainly Dr Kaminester is a Jewel in the Palm Beaches!

Doctor Kaminster Dermatology of North Palm Beach is the best choice for most dermatology problems. I am very lucky to have found this office.
The doctor promised that my problems would be solved to my satisfaction. Every visit brought progress. The office and staff are very professional. I discovered that the doctor does not advertise and is relying on his reputation.

Nearly one year to the date, I saw Dr. Keminester for my first visit regarding a skin rash I developed that was only on the top of my right hand. He entered the patient room with two "assistants" and two tablet/laptops. I explained the onset of my skin condition and he quickly advised that I should STOP having my nails done, stop using whatever soaps, shampoos, lotions I had been using (to this date) and begin using a mild bar soap, no lotions, different laundry detergent and prescribed a steriod ointment for topical treatment. Then he walked me into his "consultation" room, opened a book up to

My husband and I have been Dr. Kaminester’s patients for over two years. We see him on a regular basis since we both suffer from extensive sun damage due to having lived in the tropics all our lives. It is always a pleasure to visit his office but we do not go there for a social visit but because he is such a highly competent dermotologist. He seems to have a sixth sense in spotting seemingly harmless blemishes & then removes them before one has a chance to blink and, lo & behold, a few days later the lab results always come back in line with his suspicions. On my first visit, I came for a routine

I seldomly leave reviews but I really wanted to share my experiences with Dr. K.
If you are looking for a dermatologist - this is your doctor! My experiences with Dr. K and his staff have been nothing short of superior. He is honest, knowledgeable and very kind. What really prompted me to leave this review today was the fact that he personally calls to let me know the results of every test he does for me. When do doctors nowadays actually do that? I can’t recall another doctor ever providing that level of care for me.

I saw Dr Kaminiester yesterday for my first office appointment. He is the BEST dermatologist I have ever visited. He listened to my concerns, addressed each, and then did a body scan where he found what he suspected to be a basal cell carcinoma on my shoulder. He removed it and phoned me this evening to confirm his diagnosis. I am so happy he found the cancer and so quickly removed it. His staff is top notch, and, as an added bonus, his artwork and collections on display make this the coolest doctor's office I have ever visited. If I could give Dr. Kaminester and his staff more stars I would.
