Dermatology

Dermatology is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes (such as inside the mouth and nose). Dermatologists apply medical, surgical and cosmetic methods to maintain and improve skin health.

Scope of Dermatology:
Skin Diseases: Treatment of conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, vitiligo.
Skin Cancer: Diagnosis and treatment of melanoma and other skin cancers.
Allergic Reactions: Management of allergic skin problems such as contact dermatitis.
Cosmetic Dermatology: Laser treatments, chemical peels, botox, fillers, spot treatment and skin rejuvenation.
Hair and Nail Health: Treatment of problems such as hair loss, alopecia, nail fungus.
Dermatology addresses both health and aesthetic concerns. Dermatologists work with methods such as skin biopsy, cryotherapy, laser applications and create patient-specific treatment plans. Regular check-ups and early diagnosis are of great importance for skin health.
