What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails. This type of doctor has completed specialised training in dermatology and is qualified to provide medical care for people with conditions such as acne, eczema, and skin cancer.

In addition to diagnosing and treating these conditions, a dermatologist may provide preventative care and advice to help their patients maintain healthy skin, hair, and nails.

Some of the specific tasks that a dermatologist performs may include:

  • Performing physical examinations and ordering tests, such as biopsies and imaging studies, to diagnose skin conditions
  • Developing and implementing treatment plans for patients with skin conditions
  • Prescribing medication to manage symptoms and treat skin conditions
  • Advising patients on lifestyle changes that can help improve their skin health, such as changes to their diet and skincare routine
  • Referring patients to other medical specialists or surgeons if necessary
  • Performing surgical procedures, such as skin biopsies and Mohs surgery, to diagnose and treat skin conditions.

Overall, the primary role of a dermatologist is to provide expert care for patients with skin, hair, and nail conditions and to help them maintain healthy skin, hair, and nails.

Common procedures performed by a Dermatologist

Dermatologists are trained to perform a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some of the most common procedures performed by a dermatologist include:

  • Skin biopsy: This is a procedure in which a dermatologist removes a small sample of skin tissue for examination under a microscope. A skin biopsy can diagnose conditions such as skin cancer and psoriasis.
  • Mohs surgery: This is a surgical procedure in which a dermatologist removes layers of skin one at a time and examines each layer under a microscope to ensure that all of the cancerous tissue has been removed. Mohs surgery is typically used to treat skin cancer.
  • Cryotherapy: This is a procedure in which a dermatologist uses liquid nitrogen or another freezing agent to destroy abnormal skin cells, such as precancerous or cancerous cells. Cryotherapy can treat conditions such as warts and actinic keratosis (precancerous patches on the skin).
  • Laser therapy: This is a procedure in which a dermatologist uses a laser to remove or destroy abnormal skin cells, such as precancerous or cancerous cells. Laser therapy can be used to treat conditions such as birthmarks and tattoos.
  • Chemical peel: This is a procedure in which a dermatologist applies a chemical solution to the skin to remove the top layers of dead skin cells.
