Dermatology is a medical science that is concerned with the cure and treatment of diseases related to skin, nails and hair. It is a specialty with both medical and surgical aspects.
Dermatology is a constantly evolving field that encompasses a broad array of conditions, treatments, and procedures spanning cosmetic, medical, and aesthetic dermatology. From diagnosing and treating skin cancer to laser treatments, Botox, body sculpting, anti-aging, rashes, and so much more, dermatologists must be experts in a great many conditions, disorders, and treatment options related to skin health. This, of course, requires staying abreast of the latest clinical research in the field, learning new therapies and treatment options, and knowing which products provide the best results for patients with different skin types.
Dermatologists are doctors with added training that allows them to diagnose and treat disease of the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. Dermatologists treat skin cancers, moles, warts, fungal infections, psoriasis, acne, dry skin, contact dermatitis and other skin conditions.
5 Most Common Skin Disorders
1. Acne :
Acne, which appears most often on the face, neck, shoulders, chest and back, can come in many forms. Whiteheads and blackheads are the most commonly known; nodular and cystic acne are more severe because they form deep in the skin and can cause scars.
2. Eczema :
Eczema is a “grab-bag term,” which Alexiades-Armenakas said comes from the Greek word for “boils over.”
There are three common forms of eczema:
1. Atopic dermatitis is the most common and is seen most often in children. One to three percent of adults compared to 10 to 20 percent of children have this long-term genetic disease, which causes itchy rashes in the crux of the elbows and behind the knees.
2. Allergic contact dermatitis begins to show in adulthood and is caused by environmental factors such as cosmetic agents, fragrances and the metals in jewelry.
3. Nummular dermatitis looks like red and flaky coin-shaped patches of skin and is due to dry skin. This can be very itchy.
3. Seborrheic Dermatitis :
Seborrheic dermatitis, which causes oily, waxy patches to develop on the scalp, is distinct from other forms of dermatitis. It can affect babies, typically in the first six months of their lives in the form of “cradle cap” — a flakey, dandruff-like condition on the scalp. After the symptoms clear up, it rarely appears again until puberty.
4. Skin Cancer :
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, one million people are diagnosed with skin cancer annually, and 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
5. Psoriasis :
Psoriasis is a chronic and disfiguring genetic disease. It is a buildup of excess skin tissue that looks red and thick and is covered with silvery scales. It first appears on the elbows and knees, but can spread to other parts of the limbs and even the trunk. Certain forms affect particular areas like the hands, scalp or the joints.
