Dermatology is a branch of medicine dealing with the skin and its appendages (hair, sweat glands, etc). A medical doctor
who specializes in dermatology is a dermatologist.
Dermatologists are physicians (Medical Doctors, M.D.) or
Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.) specializing in the diagnosis and
treatment of diseases and tumors of the skin and its appendages. There are medical and surgical sides to the
specialty. Dermatologic surgeons practice skin cancer surgery (including Mohs' micrographic surgery),
laser surgery, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and cosmetic procedures using botulinum toxin ('Botox'),
soft tissue fillers, sclerotherapy and liposuction. Dermatopathologists interpret tissue under the
microscope histopathology). Pediatric dermatologists specialize in the diagnoses and treatment of skin disease in children.
Immunodermatologists specialize in the diagnosis and management of skin diseases driven by an altered
immune system including blistering (bullous) diseases like pemphigus. In addition, there is a wide range of
congenital syndromes managed by San Diego dermatologists. |
