Dermatologists
Dermatologists have expertise in the care of normal skin and in the prevention and treatment of skin diseases and skin cancers. Dermatologists perform many specialized diagnostic procedures including microscopic examination of skin biopsies, patch tests, potassium hydroxide preparations, fungus cultures and other microbiologic examination of the skin. Treatment methods used by dermatologists include topical, oral, and injected medications, selected x-ray and ultraviolet light therapy, and a wide range of dermatologic surgical procedures. The training and experience of dermatologists in skin surgery include electrosurgery, cryosurgery with the use of freezing skin lesions, laser surgery, nail surgery, biopsy techniques and excisional surgery with appropriate closures, including flaps and grafts. Among some of the techniques used by dermatologists for cosmetic purposes are dermabrasion, chemical peels, botulinum toxin for relaxing facial muscles, injections of filler materials into the skin for wrinkles and scar revision, sclerotherapy for spider veins, and many different laser therapies. Patients seeking a dermatologist may come directly or may be referred by another physician. This definition and additional information regarding dermatology as a specialty can be viewed on the American Academy of Dermatology web site: http://www.aad.org.

Board Certified
To be certified as a dermatologist, a physician must have had at least four years of post-graduate training accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The first broad-based general clinical year is followed by three years of intensive training in dermatology including dermatopathology and dermatologic surgery. In addition to the successful completion of the four years of required training, the certification process includes a comprehensive examination administered by the American Board of Dermatology. With this background and knowledge, dermatologists are singularly qualified to diagnose and treat the wide variety of dermatologic conditions as well as benign and malignant skin tumors.
