About Dermatology

According to the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC), a dermatologist specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases of the skin, hair, and nails, according to the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC). These doctors generally need about 12 years of schooling and education to earn their titles, adds AUC.

A dermatologist can treat more than 3,000 conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails, reports the AUC. Common dermatological procedures, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), include acne scar removal, dermabrasion, and laser surgery for skin conditions such as port-wine stains, warts, and scars.

Dermatology Resources

Treatments & Services

Dermatologists treat disorders of the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. There are many reasons why someone will seek care from a dermatologist, such as a skin tag, troublesome mole, or a chronic rash that just won’t go away. Dermatologists can also diagnose and treat conditions like eczema, rosacea, acne, and psoriasis. Additionally, they can check patients for skin cancer by performing biopsies on questionable patches of skin.

However, some patients go to the dermatologist purely for aesthetic reasons. Dermatologists can provide cosmetic services like dermal fillers, Botox, chemical peels, and laser surgery to remove wrinkles, scars, and unwanted hair. They can also perform certain kinds of facelifts and blepharoplasty to eliminate sagging eyelids.
