Dermatolo-what?

A dermatologist is medical personnel with the knowledge and qualifications to treat and diagnose skin disorders of all types. They are typically divided into various subcategories which include cosmetic dermatology (i.e. lasers, botox, and fillers), medical dermatology (i.e. skin allergies, eczema, and acne) and pediatric dermatology (for children). Dermatologists may opt to open their own private practices or work for the government under hospitals or at the National Skin Centre.
