Dermatology is the branch of medical science that deals with diseases and conditions of the skin, hair, nails, and their related structures. A Dermatologist is a medical professional who is an expert in medical, surgical, or both treatments of dermatological problems. Subspecialties include dermatopathology, immuno-dermatology, and pediatric dermatology.
Dermatologists work to improve the quality of life for patients by relieving them of dermatological issues causing any pain, frustration, or potential embarrassment. Patients are also educated on how to protect themselves from sun exposure to prevent skin cancer, how to care for their nails, and hairstyles that actively cause hair loss. This ensures that all patients undergoing medical treatments, aesthetic and dermato-surgery procedures are supported by a sound after-care plan to speed up their recovery

The Department of Dermatology is known for its values of innovative and compassionate patient care across all clinical, therapeutic, and academic activities. Our dermatologists use integrative techniques and internal medicine to diagnose a range of dermatological conditions including acne, alopecia, autoimmune diseases, blistering disorders, cutaneous infections, dermatitis or eczematous conditions, psoriasis, and skin cancer. It enables them to better understand the mechanisms of skin disorders and to effectively diagnose underlying physiological, psychological, or emotional health issues contributing to the problem.

The department’s dermatological aesthetics unit provides a concise range of minor cosmetic procedures such as cysts and wart removal using a local anesthetic or non-invasive techniques. Our team also has expertise in treating a range of pediatric skin conditions and uses advanced diagnostic procedures such as skin biopsy and fungal/bacterial specimen collection for effective treatment.
