Dermatologists are skin doctors, and they help people recover from ailments, infections and diseases affecting their skin and surrounding areas of skin. Also, skin infections can be due to both specific and unspecific reasons related to poor hygiene, poor sanitation, and an epidemic or due to the weather conditions of the specific area.
Acne is just a small part of skin disease as it is related to pimples growing on face and other conditions of the human face. At times, reactions with certain compounds in daily items such as soap, detergent and some household chemicals can cause blisters on the human skin, particularly on hands and feet. People in general have limited views & knowledge of dermatology as they think of common things such as acne, eczema, warts, psoriasis etc. Dermatologists are trained to cure more than just that: they are trained to treat, cure and diagnose over 2000 diseases of the skin, nails and hair, from usual to the unusual.
People fear skin cancer a lot, and it can happen not only due to lack of vitamin D but also due to repeat sun exposure. Most Dermatologists recommend using sunscreen lotions because they are not only able to block harmful UV rays of the sun but also able to protect the skin from further discoloration. Skin cancer is always curable. However, what worries people more than skin cancer is a benign skin growth known as seborrheic keratosis and what are they? They are irregular, brown growth that are raised and can become large as well which causes people to worry about melanoma as well. How to spot if they are a mole, cancer or a benign growth? Only a dermatologist can tell with ease.
Are there things that most people are unable to diagnose? Sometimes even the slightest of red spots on the skin are taken for granted as a slight rash that can be easily removed by homemade remedies.
