Dermatology

Dermatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin, hair, and nail disorders. It encompasses a wide range of conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin infections, and skin cancer, among others. Dermatologists are specialized medical doctors who have undergone extensive training in understanding the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the skin and its related structures. Their practice may involve various therapeutic techniques, including medication, surgical procedures, dermatopathology, and cosmetic interventions. Dermatology plays a crucial role in promoting skin health and managing conditions that impact not only physical appearance but also psychological well-being.
