Dermatology

Dermatology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the skin, hair, and nails. Dermatologists diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, rosacea, skin infections, hair loss, nail disorders, pigmentation disorders, and skin cancer. They utilize various diagnostic tests and procedures, such as skin examinations, skin biopsies, patch testing, and dermatopathology, to evaluate and treat patients. Dermatologists may prescribe medications, recommend topical treatments, perform surgical procedures and provide cosmetic procedures (such as botox injections and laser therapy) to improve patients' skin health and appearance.
