Treats skin conditions
A dermatologist is a physician who specializes in conditions of the skin, hair, and nails.
They diagnose and treat acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer, and other disorders: My dermatologist recommended a stronger sunscreen.
Some dermatologists also perform cosmetic procedures like Botox injections or chemical peels.
