Dermatology may be a specialization that focuses on studying, researching, diagnosing and managing the health of the skin, scalp, hair and nails. The skin is the largest organ within the body, and as a result, dermatology seeks to make sure that everything literally “skin deep” continues to function properly and normally. Although many consider dermatology a field that focuses solely on the treatment of acne, this is often simply not the case. Given the vast number of issues which will arise on the most important organ of the body, dermatology has considerable extent and depth so as to satisfy the great variety of patient needs.
