Dermatology

Dermatology is a field of clinical medicine that studies the functions and structure of the skin in health and disease, and the relationship between skin diseases and other pathological conditions of the body.

Dermatology is closely related to other fields of clinical medicine: venereology, pediatrics, infectious and internal diseases, endocrinology, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, neuropathology, ophthalmology, psychiatry, etc.

Dermatology is often combined with venereology – the study of venereal diseases. Thus there is a combined medical specialty – dermatovenereology, and a doctor who treats such diseases is a dermatovenereologist.
