A dermatologist is a skin doctor. If you had a rash, you would typically see your primary care provider first, who would be responsible for referring you to the dermatologist.

In general the US medical insurance system does not allow direct access to specialist doctors (e.g. dermatologists, psychiatrists, oncologists, allergists, cardiologists, surgeons, urologists) except by referrals.
