Dermatology
- Dermatology
Dermatology is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails. The skin is the largest organ of the body and plays a vital role in protecting against infections, regulating body temperature, and maintaining overall health. Dermatology covers a wide spectrum of issues — from common skin rashes and acne to complex autoimmune skin disorders and skin cancer.
- Who Are Dermatologists?
Dermatologists are medical specialists trained to manage over 3,000 conditions related to skin, hair, and nails. They not only treat diseases but also help patients maintain healthy, glowing skin and address cosmetic concerns. Using advanced diagnostic tools and treatment methods, dermatologists aim to restore skin health, enhance appearance, and prevent future problems.
