A board-certified dermatologist has extensive training, which allows them to accurately diagnose and properly treat more than 3,000 diseases of the skin, hair, and nails as well as cosmetic concerns.

If you were to watch a dermatologist at work on any given day, you might see them:

• Treat a baby’s prominent birthmark that threatens the child’s eyesight.

• Remove a mother’s deadly melanoma at its earliest, most treatable stage.

• Offer relief for a student whose chronic eczema makes sleep nearly impossible.

• Diagnose the life-threatening liver condition causing a grandfather’s unbearable itching.

• Treat the hair loss of a young woman, helping her gain the confidence to search for a job.

Your dermatologist knows the difference between something small and something major.

Dermatologists also understand that a skin condition can have a serious impact on your health and well-being. Sometimes, a skin condition is a sign of a serious underlying health issue, and your dermatologist may be the first one to notice it. For example, signs of diabetes and heart disease can show up on the skin.

Your dermatologist knows that a skin condition doesn’t have to be life-threatening to reduce a person’s quality of life. A skin condition can cause sleep loss, poor self-image, serious depression, or lost productivity. Eczema (aka atopic dermatitis), hair loss that causes scarring, and psoriasis are some conditions that can do this.
