Dermatology is a diverse specialty encompassing disorders and diseases of the skin, mucous membrane, hair and nails and a number of sexually transmitted diseases.
The skin is the largest and most visible organ of the body. It reflects the health of the body and acts as a barrier against injury and bacteria. On average one in six (15%) of all visits to the GP involves a skin problem.
The most common skin disorders include:
- Acne
- Warts
- Fungal infections
- Skin cancer
- Dermatitis
- Psoriasis
- Hand dermatitis
The treatment ranges from performing a wide variety of surgical procedures (e.g., excisions, sclerotherapy, laser surgery, liposuction, hair transplants and tissue augmentation therapies) to the care of normal skin, prevention of skin diseases and cancers and treatment of photoaging skin.
