What does a dermatologist do?

A dermatologist is a specialist who treats issues with the skin, nails, and hair. Dermatologists know that even non-life-threatening skin conditions can negatively impact a person's quality of life. Hence, encouraging good skin health is their most important responsibility. Additionally, dermatologists can treat more than 3,000 conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails. They also handle cosmetic issues.


You might see a dermatologist performing different types of surgeries and procedures. Some of them are:


  • Treating life-threatening birthmarks
  • Removing melanoma at the earliest stage
  • Offering relief for chronic eczema
  • Treating hair loss, unhealthy nails, and different skin conditions


Along with extensive training, becoming a dermatologist requires years of dedication and practice. The first step is to obtain a four-year bachelor's degree. Next, students must successfully finish four years of medical school. Then, they have to pursue an internship for an entire year. Finally, doctors enroll in a three-year dermatology residency program. It includes 12,000 to 16,000 hours of treating patients while assisting senior doctors. Some dermatologists may pursue fellowship training, which is additional advanced training in a particular sub-specialty. Some of the subspecialties in dermatology are:


  • Dermatopathology
  • Mohs surgery
  • Pediatric Dermatology


Being a board-certified dermatologist is the most rigorous qualification in this field. Board certification comes from one of the following organizations:


  • American Board of Dermatology
  • American Osteopathic Board of Dermatology
  • Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada


The board exam is challenging and tests a dermatologist's knowledge and skills acquired during their training years.


What types of procedures do dermatologists perform?

Dermatologists perform several simple to complex procedures. Here are some common ones:


  • Electrosurgery: It cuts or destroys tissue using the surgical application of high-frequency electric current.
  • Cryosurgery: It uses freezing temperatures during surgery to freeze and destroy tissue.
  • Laser surgery: It uses specialized laser/light beams during surgery.
  • Excision surgery: Here, the tissue is excised (removed by cutting) with a scalpel (sharp knife), following which the skin is closed correctly.
  • Mohs surgery: It involves surgically removing cancer cells from your skin layer by layer.
  • Mole removal: This includes the partial or complete removal of a mole from your body. Following removal, dermatologists inspect the mole for signs of cancer or other skin conditions.
  • Vein treatment: Dermatologists first analyze the veins for damage. Then, they treat them with sclerotherapy or laser procedures.


A dermatologist will first understand the nature of your problem following the diagnosis and, finally, offer you a customized treatment plan.


Why should you visit the best dermatologist near you?

Visiting a skin doctor occasionally is generally wise to ascertain excellent health. Besides, here are some common symptoms to see a dermatologist for:


  • A patch on the skin 
  • Sudden change in size, color, or shape of a mole
  • Severe or persistent acne
  • Rash
  • Hives
  • Scars
  • Eczema
  • Psoriasis
  • Rosacea
  • Dark spots on the face (hyperpigmentation)
  • Long-lasting skin irritation
  • Skin infections
  • Skin cancer


Visiting a dermatologist can never go wrong. Sometimes, minor symptoms can be underlying causes of chronic diseases. A dermatologist can assist you in avoiding future skin, nail, and hair-related issues. Nevertheless, finding a qualified dermatologist who fully understands your worries and welcomes your queries is crucial.


4 FAQs on what happens during initial dermatologist visits 

First-time consultations with specialists are always overwhelming, mainly because you do not know what to expect. If you are going for your first dermatologist visit, you probably have many queries, including the appointment duration and what you should carry. You'll likely find your answers in the following compilation of the most common questions by first-time dermatology patients: 


  • How long does the first dermatology consultation last? 

Initial dermatology appointments typically last 15-30 minutes, but they can be longer depending on the severity of your condition. 

What will the dermatologist ask me? 

Your dermatologist will ask you various questions regarding the reasons for your visit, symptoms, lifestyle, diet, medical history, medications, and family history. Alternatively, they may ask you to fill out a questionnaire before you meet them to improve the efficiency of the consultation. Hence, it would be best to prepare notes beforehand to be able to answer everything in detail. Here is what dermatologists commonly ask during first appointments: 


  • What are your symptoms, and how long have you had them?
  • Have you tried any treatments in the past? 
  • Have you identified any triggers? 
  • What products do you use? 
  • Do you currently have any other health conditions?
  • Does anyone in your family have the same dermatologic condition as you?
  • Can you share a list of your current medications, including prescription meds, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements? 
  • Do you get enough sleep at night? 
  • Do you smoke or drink alcohol? 
  • What do you typically eat every day? 
  • Will there be a physical exam? 


The dermatologist will conduct a thorough physical examination to get further information and accurately diagnose your condition. In many situations, besides inspecting the affected areas, they may also perform a full-body check. If they decide to do that, you will have to change into a medical gown. They will also use a hand-held microscopic device for detailed inspection. 

Afterward, they will discuss the findings with you and, if necessary, recommend further testing, such as blood tests, skin swabs, and biopsies. Do not wear makeup, nail polish, jewelry, perfumes, and hair products for a smooth and accurate physical examination. 


  • Will I receive a treatment plan during the first visit? 


If the dermatologist arrives at a diagnosis during the first appointment, they will discuss a personalized treatment plan, including medications, topical applications, and lifestyle recommendations. In some cases, they may also recommend dermatological procedures. Lastly, they will address your questions and schedule a follow-up appointment. 


Best practices for clear and healthy skin

Maintaining clear and healthy skin involves a combination of good skincare practices, a balanced diet, proper hydration, and lifestyle choices. Here are some of the best techniques for achieving clear skin:


  • Daily cleansing routine: Wash your face twice a day, in the morning and the evening, to remove oil, dirt, and pollutants. Use a gentle cleanser that is appropriate for the type of skin you have. Avoid harsh scrubbing and excessive washing as these can cause skin irritation.
  • Moisturize regularly: It is crucial to keep your skin moisturized. It helps maintain its health and prevents dryness, which can result in irritation and breakouts. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer suited for your skin type to lock in moisture without clogging the pores.
  • Sun protection: Wearing sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, daily, can protect your skin from hazardous UV rays. It also helps curb the risk of sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. Reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors. For added protection, you can also wear unique sun-protective clothing and accessories, like wide-brimmed hats, dark long-sleeved shirts, and sunglasses.
  • Stress management: Chronic stress can trigger hormonal imbalances, leading to skin issues like acne. Stress-reduction methods that promote clear skin include yoga, meditation, and spending time outdoors.
  • Regular exercise: Physical activity promotes healthy circulation and blood flow in the skin, which leads to a healthy complexion. After working out, don't forget to wash your face to get rid of perspiration and debris.


As individual results may vary, it is best to consult an expert for personalized advice and treatment options in case of specific skin concerns.


Which nutrients should you include in your diet for healthy skin?

A poor diet, stress, lack of sun protection, and other lifestyle choices, such as smoking excessively, can lead to complex skin problems. A healthy diet can help nourish skin from the inside out and maintain skin health throughout life. Here are some essential nutrients that provide skin and hair benefits: 


  • Vitamin C: A common antioxidant, vitamin C is necessary for protecting the skin from oxidative damage caused by the sun, which may lead to premature aging. Protection from free radicals may also potentially lower your risk of skin cancer. Vitamin C also creates collagen, which is the main structural protein that promotes healthy skin. A deficiency of vitamin C may cause scaly, rough, and dry skin. Low levels of this vitamin can also lead to easy bruising, bleeding gums, as well as slower-healing sores. Some foods containing vitamin C are- citrus fruits, bell peppers, broccoli, avocados, strawberries, and kiwis. 


  • Vitamin A: Also an antioxidant, vitamin A is a potent, multitasking, and highly beneficial nutrient when used/consumed the right way. It is required by the upper as well as inner layers of the skin. It may prevent sunburn or sun damage by interrupting the process that breaks down collagen. However, it cannot function as effectively as a sunscreen. Vitamin A also plays a role in other functions like vision, reproduction, immune system function, and the functioning of organs like the lungs, heart, and kidneys. Vitamin A or retinoids, also available in topical form, can be applied directly onto the skin in the form of serums, creams, or prescription acne treatment. Topical retinoids can help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Retinoids can improve skin elasticity, promote skin cell turnover, exfoliate the surface of the skin, tackle hyperpigmentation and sunspots, and prevent sagging by stimulating collagen production. Preformed Vitamin A or retinoids are generally found in dairy and animal products like beef, eggs, cod liver oil, and shrimp. It can also be found as provitamin A or carotenoids in carrots, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes. Both types are converted by the liver into retinol, which is stored in the liver and transported by the lymphatic system to the rest of the body. 


  • Zinc: This mineral primarily protects the immune system, helps the skin to heal after an injury, and is also one of the most studied forms of acne treatment. It may also act as an antioxidant to protect the skin from UV damage. Zinc is effective against bacteria formation and also has anti-inflammatory properties. This may help relieve the typical redness and irritation associated with moderate-to-severe acne. Zinc may even help reduce the appearance of acne scars and may be useful in managing skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, and melasma. Zinc can be consumed in the form of supplementation or food and can also be applied topically. The topical application typically carries lesser side effects but may not be as effective as oral consumption. Beans, dairy products, fortified cereals, oysters, red meat, and whole grains are some food sources of zinc. 


  • Omega-3 fatty acids: These nutrients are unsaturated fats that the body cannot efficiently produce but are necessary for functions like reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol levels. Fish oil, herring, salmon, mackerel, tuna, and anchovies are considered to be the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids. If you have dietary restrictions or do not eat fish, you can go for plant sources like canola oil, flaxseed, and walnuts, which contain alpha-linolenic acid or ALA, a form of omega-3 fatty acid.
