How Does Dermatology Work?

Skin is the largest organ of our body and plays a crucial role in covering and protecting everything which is inside our body. It acts as the first line of defense against diseases and infections, and helps with temperature regulation, vitamin production, and muscle movement.

Many factors like poor diet, lack of sleep, excessive alcohol, smoking, irritants, hormonal changes, sun exposure, weakened immune system, and genetics can negatively impact our skin health. While minor conditions like acne, dryness, sunburn, blisters, warts, and hives can be treated by a primary care doctor and managed by medications or topical creams, some signs and symptoms can appear due to an underlying health issue which need to be evaluated.

A dermatologist can help recognize such signs, and treat many conditions including eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, dermatitis, skin cancer, and skin infections.
