A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions.

• They are trained to evaluate and treat a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer, and more.
• Dermatologists also treat conditions related to hair and nails, such as hair loss and fungal nail infections.
• They may also provide cosmetic services such as Botox injections, laser hair removal, and chemical peels.

There are many reasons why someone may want to consult a dermatologist. Some common reasons include:

• Changes in the skin, such as new moles, growths, or discolorations
• Persistent skin conditions that do not respond to over-the-counter treatments, such as eczema, psoriasis, or acne
• Suspected or confirmed skin cancer
• Hair or nail conditions, such as hair loss, fungal infections, or brittle nails
• Pre-existing skin conditions that require ongoing management, such as vitiligo or lupus
• Cosmetics, such as fillers, Botox, and laser treatment

It is important to see a dermatologist if you have any concerns about your skin, hair, or nails. They will be able to examine you, diagnose any issues, and recommend the best course of treatment for you.

Dermatologists treat several medical conditions that affect your skin, hair, and nails. Some of the known health conditions include:

1. Skin Cancer: Cancerous lesions on the skin can arise anywhere in the body. A dermatologist may eradicate cancer cells and observe further to ensure that they don't reoccur.
2. Skin Infections: Infections caused by fungi, viruses, parasites, and bacteria may find their way into skin tissue and cause numerous skin infections. A dermatologist can help to detect the primary causes of diseases and specify a course of treatment.
3. Acne: based on the seriousness of your acne, a dermatologist may treat the condition with modern treatments; from lasers, medications, and other light therapies, to eradicating large cysts and chemical peels.

Cancer surgery, also called oncologic surgery, is a type of surgery that is used to diagnose, stage, and treat cancer. There are several types of cancer surgery, including:

3. Sentinel lymph node biopsy - a procedure that is used to determine whether cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the area of the tumor.
4. Lymph node dissection - a procedure that removes lymph nodes from an area of the body that may contain cancer.
5. Prostatectomy - a procedure that removes all or part of the prostate gland.
6. Cystectomy - a procedure that removes all or part of the bladder.
