Investigative Dermatology
Investigative dermatology is the branch of dermatology describing all aspects of cutaneous biology and skin disorder. It includes topics regarding organic chemistry, biophysics, carcinogenesis, cell regulation, development, skin structure, extracellular matrix, genetics, immunology, epidermal cell biology, biological science, molecular and cell biology, pathology, physiology, material medical, photobiology, transcutaneous absorption, clinical analysis, medical specialty and alternative population-based analysis.
Procedural Dermatology
Procedural Dermatology is the subspecialty within Dermatology that is concerned with the study, diagnosis, and surgical treatment of diseases of the skin and adjacent mucous membranes, cutaneous appendages, hair, nails, and subcutaneous tissue.
Skin Diseases and Infections
Skin diseases include common skin rashes to severe skin infections, which occur due to a range of things, such as infections, heat, allergens, system disorders and medications. Foremost common skin disorders are dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is associate with current (chronic) condition that causes restless, inflamed skin. Most frequently it seems as patches on the face, neck, trunk or limbs. It tends to flare up sporadically so subside for a time. Skin infections are caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses. The major skin infectious diseases are impetigo, Staph infections, cellulitis etc. Skin infections can lead to skin inflammations such as infectious dermatitis. It is also a cause of various skin diseases that can ultimately lead to leprosy.
Skin Lesion
A skin lesion is any change in the normal character of your skin. A skin lesion may occur on any part of your body and cover a tiny or large area. Skin lesions can be singular or multiple, confined to one specific area of your body or distributed widely. Skin lesions include rash, cysts, pus-filled sacs, blisters, swelling, discolorations, bumps, hardening, or any other change in or on your skin. Skin lesions may result from a wide range of causes, as harmless as a small scrape or as serious as skin cancer.
A normal skin mole is tan, brown, or black. Moles are usually round and less than 1/4 inch (6 mm) in diameter. Symptoms of a skin lesion include a new mole, and an old mole that has changed shape, color, or size. Additional symptoms of a skin lesion include skin lumps that increase in size, bleed, ooze, contain blood vessels, or become scaly or crusty.
Herbal Dermatology
Herbal Dermatology uses topical creams and lotions made of ingredients available in nature. Much of the recent literature reviews plant-derived ingredients, which may include herbs, roots, flowers and essential oils, but natural substances in skin care products include animal-derived products such as beeswax, and minerals. These substances may be combined with various carrier agents, preservatives, surfactants, humectants and emulsifiers.
Psychodermatology
Psychodermatology is an interesting domain of dermatology that overlaps with psychiatry. This arena in dermatology has received limited diligence, partly due to lack of training in this realm. Psychodermatology or psychocutaneous medicine encompasses disorders prevailing on the boundary between psychiatry and dermatology.
Dermoscopy
Dermoscopy or dermatoscopy refers to the examination of the skin using skin surface microscopy, and is also called ‘epiluminoscopy’ and ‘epiluminescent microscopy’. This traditionally consists of a magnifier (typically x10), a non-polarised light source, a transparent plate and a liquid medium between the instrument and the skin, and allows inspection of skin lesions unobstructed by skin surface reflections.
Acne
Acne is the common cause of spots. Most people with acne are aged between 12 and 25 but some older and younger people are affected. Boys are more commonly affected than girls. Acne usually affects the face but may also affect the back, neck and chest. The severity can range from mild to severe. About 8 in 10 teenagers develop some degree of acne. Often it is mild. However, it is estimated that about 3 in 10 teenagers have acne bad enough to need treatment to prevent scarring. Untreated acne usually lasts about 4-5 years before settling. Acne may be treated with a combination of remedies including over-the-counter skincare, acne medications, and chemical or laser procedures. Learn safe ways to banish blackheads, whiteheads, and cystic acne, and get the clear skin you want.
Trichology
Trichology is a specialized branch of medicine that deals with the scientific study of the health of hair and scalp and the diseases related to them. Problems may include baldness, scaling of the scalp, itching, scalp eczema and psoriasis, premature graying, hair loss, hair breakage, hair damage, hair thinning, seborrhea dermatitis, head lice, dandruff, dryness and oiliness. Derived from the Greek word 'Trikhos' which means 'hair', the disciplined area of Trichology originated in London, England in 1902. Since Trichology deals with the anatomy, growth and diseases of the hair, this field involves in-depth study of chemistry, biology, anatomy and physiology, and has gained much importance in recent years with the popularisation of paramedical sciences.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a common skin condition that changes the life cycle of skin cells. Psoriasis causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The extra skin cells form thick, silvery scales and itchy, dry, red patches that are sometimes painful. Psoriasis is a persistent, long-lasting (chronic) disease. There may be times when your psoriasis symptoms get better alternating with times your psoriasis worsens.
Dermatology
The skin is the largest and most visible organ of the body. It reflects the health of the body and acts as a barrier against injury and bacteria. Unfortunately, at one time or another, nearly everyone has some type of skin disease - infants, children, teenagers, adults and the elderly. Dermatology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the skin, hair, and nails, oral cavity and genitals. It also focuses on maintaining the health of your skin.
Skin
The skin is the largest organ of the body. The skin protects body from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. Skin has three layers: The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.
Cutaneous Biology
Human skin is the largest organ of the body. Together with various other components such as glands, fingernails, and hair, it comprises a complex system known as the integumentary system. Cutaneous biology is the study of the cellular and molecular biology of human skin and its associated diseases. Human skin performs a number of diverse functions critical to normal human health, including protection from environmental insults such as pathogens, physical damage, and radiation from the sun.
Dermatopathology
Dermatopathology is the medical subspecialty of pathology that includes surgical pathology, skin infections, skin pathology etc. The study focuses on connective tissue diseases at a microscopic and molecular level. It additionally encompasses analyses of the potential causes of skin diseases at a basic level. Dermatopathological cases may include various skin disorders including melanoma and many other immunologic, infectious and pediatric diseases of skin.
Pediatric Dermatology
Pediatric dermatology is the specialty of medicine for children (newborns-adolescents) with skin disorders. A pediatric dermatologist is a dermatologist who specializes in diagnosing and treating children, including newborns and infants. Many perform surgical procedures such as laser therapy and cutaneous surgery. Pediatric dermatologists diagnose a wide variety of skin disorders including birthmarks skin infections, dermatitis, melanocytic nevi (moles), genodermatoses, acneiform eruptions, rare forms of skin cancer, drug eruptions, viral exanthems, and collagen vascular disorders. Common skin diseases in children include Atopic dermatitis, birthmarks, including port-wine stains, contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, hives, warts, hemangiomas, birthmarks, and congenital skin disorders, etc.
Cutaneous Oncology
Cutaneous oncology is the medical specialty dealing with screening, diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers/melanomas. Cutaneous malignancies are major health issue that leads to mortality. This interdisciplinary field of dermatology and oncology plays an important role in evaluating and treating skin cancer patients.
Cutaneous Surgery/ Dermatosurgery
Dermatosurgery has been defined as the practice of dermatology that specializes in surgical procedures and minimally invasive treatments to improve the health, function and appearance of skin. Any surgical intervention is necessarily entwined with risk of complications, but the level of risk is low in case of dermatosurgery. Dermatosurgeries are performed under topical anesthesia or local anesthesia thereby reducing the risk involved in such surgeries. Most dermatologic interventions are performed through intact skin with only resident bacterial flora. Dermatologists do not perform aesthetic surgeries on the infected skin.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Cosmetic dermatology is a specialty of medicine involved to treat the skin, hair, or nails using a treatment that is meant to improve a patient's appearance rather than treat a disease. Examples of treatments dermatologists perform that fall into the area of cosmetic dermatology include surgery to diminish acne scars, injecting fillers and botulinum toxins to give an aging face a more youthful appearance, laser surgery to diminish or remove small veins, age spots, tattoos, or wrinkles.
