What does a Dermatologist do?

Dermatologists are specialists in skin health, and there are even further specializations within the field of dermatology, such as pediatric dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, and dermatopathology. They are responsible for the treatment of skin conditions from start to finish, from the first consultation and diagnosis right through the treatment plan, reviewing progress and adjusting as necessary. They can advise on treatments and prescribe medication as needed, and some conduct non-invasive surgical procedures.
