Dermatology is the medical field that specializes in skin issues and skin diseases. Dermatologists diagnose and treat problems such as eczema, acne, moles, psoriasis, and pimples.
Since human skin is the largest organ in the body, it can have many types of diseases. Skin disorders can cause unwanted cosmetic and aesthetic appearances. Moreover, bothersome physical appearances can lead to psychological issues. Some skin diseases can prevent people from moving comfortably in their daily lives.
Therefore, it is necessary to consult a dermatologist as soon as skin diseases are noticed. Dermatologists working in the dermatology department, also known as Skin and Venereal Diseases, receive four years of specialty training after six years of medical education.
