Dermatology

Dermatology is a branch of medicine that deals with disorders of skin, hair and nail. This is the branch that deals with the largest organ of our body, the skin. Since ancient times men and women have been obsessed with looking good, of which good skin forms a fundamental requirement. Other than looking good, a healthy skin has been considered as an integral part of good health.

Skin because of its location is at an interface between the internal & external environment, peforming several important function in maintaining normal body functions including temperature regulation, maintaining water & electrolyte balance, defense against physical & chemical agents..................to name just a few of many. And not to forget the role it plays in psychosocial well-being of humans.

Becasue of it being exposed, any skin problem is associated with lots of stress & anxiety. Even a minor skin problem causes lots of anxiety among patients because of its visibility. But as they say every problem has a solution, similarly every skin problem has a solution too. Thats where the role of dermatologist comes.
