Dermatology

Dermatology is the branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. Dermatologists are medical doctors who specialize in addressing a wide range of skin issues, from common conditions like acne and eczema to more serious diseases such as skin cancer. Dermatologists employ various diagnostic techniques, including physical examinations, skin biopsies, and laboratory tests, to identify skin disorders accurately. Once a diagnosis is made, they develop customized treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific needs and medical history.
