What is Dermatology?

The branch of medicine that deals with diseases concerning the skin, nails, and hair, is known as dermatology. It has sub-specialities such as Mohs surgery, Paediatric dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, dermatopathology, immune dermatology, tele dermatology and dermato epidemiology. There are various therapies covered under dermatology including laser therapy, tumescent liposuction, vitiligo surgery, hair transplant, hair removal, tattoo removal, phototherapy, allergy testing etc. And as the name suggests, a doctor specialised in dermatology is known as a dermatologist.

What Does A Dermatologist Do?

A Dermatologist i.e. a Skin Doctor, is a physician who helps you find a cure and treats various problems associated with your skin condition, nails, and hair. In some cases, skin specialists -dermatologists- even handle cosmetic issues such as revitalizing the skin, severe acne or hair loss, dandruff,and critical diseases like skin cancer, dermatitis, mole surveillance and eczema. A dermatologist performs surgical procedures or cosmetic procedures- if needed- like laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, mole removal, keloid surgery, fillers etc.

When To Consult A Dermatologist?

A skin specialist doctor should be immediately consulted if the patient has severe acne or faces issues like skin ageing, skin damage etc. Apart from these, other reasons for which a dermatologist must be consulted can be scar treatments, eczema, skin cancer, inflammation on the skin and fungal infection.

Pigmentation -

The disturbances in the natural skin colour is known as Pigmentation. There are two types of pigmentation disorders noticed broadly. The first one is Hyperpigmentation which is the darkening of the skin and the other one known as Vitiligo in which the skin loses pigment and turns white. Online dermatologist consultation is required if you experience any difference in the colour of your skin and find the best cure for it.



Ringworm -

It is a fungal infection of the skin in which a circular itchy rash is caused by the infection. The initial signs of the infection include a scaly patch or a bump which itches and eventually it turns into a red circular or ring-shaped patch on the skin. It is highly contagious and it’s recommended to speak to a doctor or dermatologist to diagnose the infection and to get the right treatment plan in place in case you’re suffering from the infection.



Fungal Infection -

Just like bacteria, fungi also live on our skin. A fungal infection can occur due to several factors such as poor hygiene, or lowered immunity in the body. There are many types of fungal infections with common ones such as athlete‚ Aos foot, ringworm, jock‚ Aos itch and more. To know more about the symptoms and to get the right treatment consult a dermatologist online now.



Itching Rashes -

Several reasons such as sweat, fungal or yeast infections can cause itchy rashes. They can also occur due to dermatitis, dry skin, and unhygienic lifestyle. It is very common to get a rash but an itching rash should not be ignored as it can be a sign of any other underlying disease. You must consult a dermatologist immediately in such a case.



Face Tan -

Our skin is protected from the UV rays by Melanin, a skin pigment produced by the cells in our body. It absorbs the extra UV light from the sun which generally causes skin darkening, commonly known as tanning. The effect of tanning varies based on the amount of melanin present naturally in different skin types. And for the removal of tan or de-tanning the skin, you need the right guidance from a certified dermatologist and DocsApp provides you just that. Tan can be treated with the help of tan removal creams or even with certain home remedies but consulting a dermatologist will provide better results.



Genital Skin issues -

Genital skin problems are common but less talked about as they can be excruciating, depressing and embarrassing. Some commonly noticed skin issues related to the genitals are Lichen sclerosus, Intertrigo, Seborrheic dermatitis, Lichen simplex, Plasma cell balanitis, etc. Genital skin problems may or may not be contagious but must not be overseen and a dermatologist’s consultation is suggested.



Other Skin diseases -

Bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus, is the main cause of many skin diseases. Severe diseases like skin ulcer, hives, erythema, warts, and pustules must be treated as per the directions by a dermatologist. Some skin diseases can even lead to hair loss which is a bad experience. Usage of chemical peels can help in improving the skin’s appearance.
