Dermatologist

Dermatologists are physicians who treat conditions related to the skin, though they may also treat disorders to the hair and nails. Dermatologists undergo additional specialized training beyond receiving a medical degree to become experts in skincare, and they must also obtain a license to practice. Some dermatologists choose to further specialize in the field by concentrating their work in pediatric dermatology, dermatopathology or procedural dermatology. While precise responsibilities are contingent upon the subspecialty of dermatology, most dermatologists have similar duties. A huge part of a dermatologist's job is educating their patients on the treatment and prevention of skin conditions. For instance, using the correct sunscreen, facial cleansers, and shampoos can help treat and prevent many of the diseases that dermatologists encounter.
