Looking for a skin doctor, hair fall doctor or acne specialist? A dermatologist is the medical term for a skin doctor who treats skin, hair and nail conditions including acne, dark spots, hair loss, dandruff, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, vitiligo and skin allergies. Many patients also see a skin doctor for cosmetic concerns like pigmentation, laser treatment and anti-ageing. In India, a qualified skin doctor holds MBBS followed by MD (Dermatology). For medical skin conditions like psoriasis or vitiligo, choose a dermatologist with strong clinical experience. For cosmetic treatments, a qualified dermatologist is a medical doctor, unlike a general practitioner offering aesthetic services.
