A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating and taking care of skin, hair and nail. Dermatologists care for people of all ages, from newborns to elderly. After earning a medical degree (MBBS) and completing an internship, a dermatologist receives more years of specialty training, three years in MD/DNB or two years in DVD/DDVL. Under this training they learn about skin,hair, nail, STDs,dermatosurgery and lasers. It is important to know before visiting a doctor for skin, hair and cosmetic problems that he/she has proper dermatology training. Some practitioners in beauty clinics or some doctors from other fields take advantage of this ignorance and call themselves dermatologists but do not have the necessary accreditation. Always check for doctor's qualifications, a dermatologist will have MBBS plus any of these degrees MD/DNB/DVD/DDVL. If you see any of these degrees BDS,MDS,BHMS,BAMS,BUMS,BPT,PGDHM,PGDCC,DPD(UK),MD(A.M.) avoid visiting them for skin and hair issues. One more misconception among people now a days have is whom to visit for hair problems. A new term trichologist has been coined by some clinics to misguide people. There is no separate degree or doctor for hair problems. Dermatologist are trained under their curriculum in hair disorder. #knowyourdoctor #avoidfakedermatologists #stopquackery #beinformed #saveyourskin #avoidscams #skinfinetips (at Noida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7TtncjaGC/?igshid=suqjdgt3lug6
