Dermatology

The Dermatology Department specializes in diagnosing and treating various skin, hair, and nail disorders, addressing common ailments such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne. Eczema presents with dry, itchy patches, while psoriasis is characterized by thick, red patches covered in silvery scales. Acne involves clogged pores leading to pimples and cysts, and rosacea manifests as persistent facial redness and visible blood vessels. Dermatitis can result in inflamed, itchy skin, while warts are benign growths caused by the human papillomavirus. Fungal infections, like ringworm, lead to red, scaly patches, and skin cancer symptoms include new growths or changes in existing moles. Vitiligo results in loss of skin pigment, creating white patches, and alopecia areata causes sudden hair loss in round patches. Understanding these conditions can empower individuals to seek timely medical attention for effective management.
