Medical dermatology overview

Medical dermatologyCharlotte dermatology

medical dermatology is the care for patients with diseases of the skin, hair, nails, mouth, and genitals. Logically, the focus for a medical dermatologist; is based on issues with the skin, but their duties encompass so much more. A top medical dermatologist is board-certified, with extensive experience and education for diagnosing and evaluating diseases of the skin, hair, nails, lips and mucous membranes to improve our overall health. They say that, “beauty is only skin deep,” that may be true, but certain skin conditions involve much more than skin. Medical dermatologists must be capable of identifying skin problems that are symptoms of other diseases. It is pretty much unheard of, that a doctor is exclusively a medical dermatologist. Most dermatologist practice medical dermatology, surgical dermatology, and cosmetic dermatology. Usually, a primary care physician refers patients to dermatologists when they diagnose conditions of the skin.

Board-certified dermatologists treat patients of any age; from infants and toddlers to the very old. Some dermatologists have an additional expertise within their scope of a dermatology practice. They may specialize in specific disciplines such as:

  • Pediatric dermatology
  • Dermatologic surgery
  • Broadband light therapy
  • Cosmetic dermatology
  • Mohs micrographic surgery

Very simply, skin conditions can be grouped into those primarily seen in the pediatric patient group, and those conditions that are primarily seen in the adult age group. Medical dermatologists are also trained in the diagnosis and treatment of problems associated with hair and nails. They regularly perform full-body mole checks and skin cancer screening on patients of all ages.
