Dermatology
Dermatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail disorders. Dermatologists manage a wide variety of conditions, ranging from cosmetic issues like acne and hair loss to serious diseases like melanoma, psoriasis, and autoimmune skin disorders.
Because the skin is the body's largest organ and serves as the first line of defense against environmental hazards, dermatologists play a critical role in maintaining overall health. Common conditions treated by dermatologists include eczema, rosacea, vitiligo, and skin infections. They also specialize in identifying and treating skin cancers, which are some of the most common forms of cancer.
Dermatologists perform a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including skin biopsies, excisions, and laser therapy. Cosmetic dermatology, which involves treatments like Botox, fillers, and chemical peels, has become an increasingly popular aspect of the specialty as more patients seek non-invasive ways to improve their appearance.
Dermatologists also work closely with other specialists, particularly oncologists, plastic surgeons, and allergists, in managing complex skin disorders. Dermatology residency training is highly competitive due to the breadth of conditions managed and the wide array of procedures performed in this specialty.
