Welcome back. Dermatology, being one of the medical departments, comprises studies on the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes during their diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of diseases. Dermatology covers endless amounts of conditions from these common things like acne and eczema to such complex diseases as psoriasis, melanoma, and other forms of skin cancer.

Dermatology is the specialization of treating various conditions affecting the skin, including:

  • Skin infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal)
  • Acne and conditions related to the skin
  • Dermatitis and eczema
  • Psoriasis and autoimmune skin diseases
  • Malignant neoplasm of the skin (melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma)
  • Hair loss disorders
  • Nail conditions (fungal infections, nail diseases)
  • Diverse aesthetic concerns (anti-aging treatments, cosmetic dermatology)

Dermatology includes the study and research of the skin regarding its function, structure, and relation to health. It is important because the skin is the largest organ of protection against outside threats.
