Department of Dermatology specializes and focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions related to the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. Our doctors specialize in dermatology and provide comprehensive care for patients of all ages. Here’s an overview of dermatology:

• Skin Conditions:
  Dermatologists diagnose and treat a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, rosacea, skin infections, allergies, warts, fungal infections, and autoimmune skin diseases. They also address conditions such as vitiligo, melasma, birthmarks, and pigmentation disorders.

• Skin Cancer:
  Dermatologists play a crucial role in the detection and treatment of skin cancer. They perform skin examinations to identify suspicious moles or growths and may conduct biopsies for further evaluation. Dermatologists can surgically remove skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. They may also provide guidance on sun protection and early detection methods.
• Cosmetic Dermatology:
  Cosmetic dermatology involves procedures that aim to improve the appearance of the skin, hair, and nails. Dermatologists offer treatments such as Botox injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapy, sclerotherapy for spider veins, and hair restoration procedures. They can also address concerns related to aging, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and scars.
• Dermatologic Surgery:
  Dermatologists are trained in various surgical procedures for the treatment of skin conditions. They perform skin biopsies, excisions of skin lesions, Mohs micrographic surgery (a precise technique for removing skin cancers while preserving healthy tissue), cryosurgery (using freezing techniques), and electrosurgery. These procedures are aimed at both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
• Dermatologists with expertise in pediatric dermatology address conditions such as eczema, diaper rash, birthmarks, genetic skin disorders, acne, and infectious diseases affecting the skin in children.
• Dermatopathology:
  Dermatopathology involves the microscopic examination of skin tissue samples to aid in the diagnosis of skin diseases. Some dermatologists specialize in dermatopathology and analyze skin biopsies and other samples to provide accurate diagnoses and guide treatment decisions.
• Allergies and Immunologic Disorders:
  Dermatologists also diagnose and manage conditions related to allergies and immunologic disorders that affect the skin. They may perform patch testing to identify specific allergens causing contact dermatitis and prescribe appropriate treatments.

Dermatology encompasses both medical and cosmetic aspects of skin care. Dermatologists are trained to diagnose complex skin conditions, provide medical treatments, perform surgical procedures, and offer advice on maintaining healthy skin. If you have concerns about your skin, hair, nails, or mucous membranes, it’s recommended to consult with a board-certified dermatologist who can provide an accurate diagnosis and develop a personalized treatment plan.
