Dermatology

What is Dermatology

The skin is the largest organ in the body and acts as the first barrier of defense against infections and injuries. It is also a barometer of your overall health, carrying telltale signs of internal distress or deficiencies. More importantly, skin health goes beyond skin-deep. Having skin problems is not only disturbing physically (itchy, peeling, discoloration, pigmentation or sores) but also affects confidence levels and self-esteem. Under the care of our experienced dermatologists, your skin will be managed in the best possible way.

Who is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair and nail disorders. They are trained to manage a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, eczema, skin cancer and other conditions that affect the skin’s appearance and function.

What Does a Dermatologist do?

Some of the specific tasks and responsibilities of a dermatologist may include:

  • Conducting skin exams to identify any abnormalities or signs of skin cancer.
  • Prescribing medications or treatments to manage skin conditions, such as topical creams, oral medications or light therapy.
  • Performing procedures such as skin biopsies, excisions and laser treatments for skin conditions or cosmetic purposes.
  • Advising patients on how to care for their skin, including recommending products and lifestyle changes that may benefit their skin health.
  • Working with other healthcare professionals to develop treatment plans for patients with complex medical conditions that may affect the skin, such as autoimmune diseases or diabetes.
