What is a Dermatologist and How Can They Help You?
A dermatologist specializes in diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions. These physicians address both medical dermatology concerns and cosmetic enhancement procedures, including skin cancer detection and treatment.
Following medical school, dermatologists complete a one-year transitional or preliminary internship and a three-year dermatology residency. Some pursue additional fellowship training in dermatopathology, pediatric dermatology, or Mohs micrographic surgery.
A Dermatologist's practice activities include:
- Concentrates on cutaneous tissues, hair follicles, nail structures, and mucous membranes
- Performs cutaneous evaluations, tissue sampling, condition diagnosis, and medical or cosmetic interventions
- Treats inflammatory dermatoses, eczematous conditions, psoriatic disease, cutaneous malignancies, rosacea, viral lesions, and alopecia
- Employs topical therapies, systemic medications, laser technology, surgical excisions, micrographic surgery, and aesthetic procedures
- Alternative designations: dermatologic specialist, skin physician, MD, DO
