Dermatology Hair Nails and Skin Diseases Information
What is Dermatology?
Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin and its diseases. A dermatologist takes care of diseases and cancers of the skin, scalp, hair, and nails.
Dermatosis (plural dermatoses), is defined as any disease of the skin, and, while thousands of skin disorders have been described, only a small number account for most visits to the doctor.
Immunodermatology - This is a specialist who specializes in the treatment of immune mediated skin diseases such as lupus, bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris, and other immune mediated skin disorders. Specialists in this field often run their own immunopathology labs.
Research shows that a majority of skin diseases are caused by nutrient imbalances within the human body.
Skin disease usually entails specialized diagnostic processes linked to skin conditions, treatments and preventions of various skin diseases, and may involve treatments such as injected, externally applied, and internal medications, a variety of dermatologic surgical procedures, or cosmetic procedures like chemical peels, micro-dermabrasion, and sclerotherapy for conditions such as varicose veins.
Our dermatology categories on the right offer information on eczema, skin cancer, psoriasis, acne, impetigo, melanoma, and other skin disease causes and treatments.
