What is dermatology?

Skin problems are particularly widespread around the world. In the UK alone, it is estimated that 60% of the population either have a skin condition or have previously suffered from one.

Skin conditions come in a variety of forms, from eczema, psoriasis and acne to more serious diseases like skin cancer. Skin issues also impact people at various stages of their lives, with eczema particularly prevalent in children.

As well as impacting the individual physically with a series of unsightly or uncomfortable symptoms, skin conditions leave lasting marks. The scarring that often remains can have a negative impact on self-esteem and confidence. Whatever the severity of your skin condition or your story so far however, you don’t have to suffer in silence…

An introduction to dermatology

Dermatology is an area of medicine that provides care and treatment for conditions that affect the skin. As your body’s largest organ, your skin is particularly complex, with the conditions that affect it often influencing your entire wellbeing. As a result, skin conditions regularly require specialist care from a dermatologist.

A dermatologist diagnoses, administers treatment and helps to prevent conditions that affect not just the skin but the hair and nails.
