Dermatology, defined as the science of the skin, is a medical discipline that deals with skin diseases and their treatment. In this field of study, every type of skin disorder, affecting the vital organ of the human body, is examined and treated. Commonly known as "dermatology" among the public, this discipline plays an effective role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases not only on the skin but also in skin appendages (hair, nails, sweat glands), mucous membrane areas such as the mouth, and the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases.
Specialized physicians in dermatology study the general structure, functions, maintenance, and health of the skin. They focus on various aspects, including allergic skin diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, infectious diseases, hair and nail disorders, neoplastic diseases, and skin manifestations of some metabolic-systemic conditions. With the knowledge and skills they acquire, these experts work for public health.
Dermatologists, well-equipped in all areas from common skin diseases to rare types, aim to collaborate with other specialties in necessary cases to restore the health of patients. Playing an effective role in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases observed at every age, from infancy to adulthood, dermatologists employ personalized healing methods.
