Your skin is the first line of defence that you
have against the world. As a result, though,
this protective outer lining is also the first to
get affected by a number of issues, conditions
and disorders, that can range from minor issues
like rashes or pimples to major ones like skin
cancer. To tackle any disorder that may arise,
it is important to get the help of a specialist,
who is trained and experienced in managing the
different problems that your skin can suffer
from. This specialized branch of medicine, called
dermatology, deals with the care and treatment
of the skin, nails, and hair.
