DERMATOLOGY
Dermatology is the specialisation of medicine which covers the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the skin, hair, and nails. It covers both facets of medical and surgical aspects, managing a wide range of conditions affecting these areas. These conditions can include common issues like acne and eczema, besides more complex diseases including skin cancers. Besides, Dermatology also encompasses cosmetic concerns related to the skin, hair, and nails, like hair loss, wrinkles, and pigmentary changes. Dermatology is thus a crucial specialisation as the skin is the body’s largest organ and is an indicator of overall health as skin conditions significantly impact individuals due to itching, pain, disfigurement, and psychological effects.
