What is the modern dermatology?
Over the past few decades, a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of many dermatological conditions has led to the development of new treatments, such as biological agents for psoriasis, revolutionizing their therapeutic approach and management. The advancement of technology has led to the discovery and refinement of lasers for achieving a more youthful and desirable appearance. Thus, the modern dermatologist is a multifaceted scientist who should combine classical knowledge with modern technology.
Dermatologist and Acne
Acne is one of the skin conditions that afflicts a large percentage of the population, both men and women, especially between the ages of 16 and 20. Unfortunately, in recent years, acne can also appear in older ages, particularly in women. It is not uncommon for women who had clear skin during adolescence to develop acne at the age of 30 or 35, often for unknown or mostly unclear reasons.
Venereologist
Most sexually transmitted diseases generally respond well to specific antimicrobial treatments and are ultimately curable or manageable. However, due to their often high morbidity and complications, prevention is the most important way to address them. Protective measures during sexual intercourse and strict adherence to genital hygiene should always be followed.
Additionally, anyone who becomes infected should consult their doctor to learn how to protect people with whom they are in close contact.
