Dermatopathology

Dr. Hure is double board certified in Dermatopathology and Anatomic Pathology.  As a dermatopathologist, she is an expert in the pathology of the skin.

Request a Consultation Today

It is vital to have a board-certified dermatopathologist interpret skin biopsies, as even routine cases can be misdiagnosed by other providers.  Dr. Hure interprets all skin biopsies done at OC SkinLab and routinely accepts outside specimens for processing and diagnosis.  In addition, consultations on slides previously read by another provider are happily accepted.  Dr. Hure believes everyone deserves to understand their pathology reports and will personally review them with patients and referring clinicians.

For Patients

If a biopsy is taken, you can expect to have a result within five business days depending on the complexity of the case.  Once the biopsy is taken it is processed and placed on a glass slide.  Dr. Hure will interpret the slide and determine if additional studies, such as special staining techniques, need to be done.  Once a diagnosis is reached, Dr. Hure will contact you with the results and follow-up instructions.

For Providers

For those clinicians who routinely take skin biopsies of their patients, it is important to know what happens to your specimens once they leave your office.  Specimens sent to large national pathology labs are routinely interpreted by junior general pathologists, usually unavailable for direct contact.   Your specimens can, instead, be sent directly to OC SkinLab for processing and interpretation.  You will have the peace of mind that your patient will have an expert board-certified dermatopathologist handling the specimen and reviewing the case.  In addition, referring clinicians have direct access to communicate with Dr. Hure regarding their cases.  All critical diagnoses, such as a new melanoma diagnosis, will be personally relayed by Dr. Hure.

All healthcare providers, from dentists to podiatrists, have the potential to offer some level of skin cancer detection to their patients.  For providers who wish to integrate skin biopsy into their practice, Dr. Hure is available to meet with you and your staff to provide both training in appropriate biopsy techniques and recognition of common skin lesions.

Happy Mother's day to EVERY kind of mom! 🥂👑💐💖

It isn't an easy journey, especially being in medicine, but it's been beautiful nonetheless.  Messy, difficult yet rewarding. 

Hope you have a wonderful day with family or taking some "me time" alone without the mom guilt.

Rosacea Rescue!🚨🆘️ During Rosacea awarene Rosacea Rescue!🚨🆘️

During Rosacea awareness month we’ve discussed causes and triggers and will finish out with treatment...not just what your derm can prescribe, but what you can do on your own!

🚩Knowing and avoiding your triggers is huge! Modifying your daily habits, while at times not fun, can lead to fewer flares and daily symptoms of rosacea. Avoiding those long, hot and steamy showers is a start! Applying (and reapplying) your mineral-based sunscreen every single day is also a must.

🚩Knowing what skincare is appropriate for your skin and not being overly aggressive with new or “active” ingredients are crucial to keeping your skin barrier intact and decreasing symptoms. Swipe for some of my favorites.

🚩Make sure you see your physician for prescription medications if indicated for your rosacea. While there is no definitive cure for rosacea, we can manage it through prescription topical and/or oral medications and possibly procedures like laser, IPL or microneedled neuromodulator (Botox, Dysport, etc).

What are some treatments or lifestyle changes that help your rosacea? 👇👇
Happy 108th @ucdavis Picnic Day!! 💙🐄💛 Ev Happy 108th @ucdavis Picnic Day!! 💙🐄💛

Every year my alma mater opens the campus for everyone to experience the richness and diversity of their research, teaching, service and campus life. This was the first year they've been back in person since the start of the pandemic, but they still offered online participation by starting out the morning with the traditional pancake breakfast and live stream parade!
Nothing beats being there in person though!

This year's theme: "Rediscovering Tomorrow"
I love that. We've all had the opportunity to rediscover our strengths and interests during the pandemic and can now look ahead to what the future holds for us.
Loved that the Parade Marshal was a @ucdavishealth #pathologist 🔬💕💪

Anyone been to #picnicday or have traditions you love from your alma mater?
