Read MoreWhen the health problem is related to a specific part or organ of the body like skin, approaching a specialist substantially reduces the time taken from identification to the start of treatment, which often can be quite critical. MD or DNB specialists like dermatologists undergo intense training and education for 3 more years studying dermatology and venereology after they have passed their MBBS exam. During this period they work with senior specialists and help with treatment of thousands of patients suffering from a variety of conditions. This gives them the ability to quickly diagnose ailments and treat them far more effectively than a general physician can.
This learning does not end at qualifying as an MD, it is actually a continuous process where they participate in conferences and clinical meets to discuss and understand the latest developments in their field. This benefits the patients substantially as they are able to prescribe the latest and most effective line of treatments.
Dermatologists see hundreds of patients on a daily basis with a variety of conditions ranging from simple skin and cosmetic conditions to very rare and complex skin conditions making it a lot easier and quicker for dermatologists to diagnose and treat such conditions.
Neonatal Skin (new born baby’s skin) is similar in structure to adult skin but is not as functional. A newborn’s skin as compared to an adult’s skin has a very thin upper layer.

Ageing results in decline of normal functioning in all organ systems including skin. Two types of skin ageing exist. These are intrinsic ageing, which includes those changes that are due to normal maturity and occur in all individuals and extrinsic ageing, produced by extrinsic factors such as ultraviolet light exposure, smoking, and environmental pollutants. Ageing also causes changes at cellular level. There is a decline in collagen and elastin which causes, wrinkles and loose skin. There is decrease in sweat and oil glands activity also.
Roughened or Dry Skin: Due to loss of moisture, skin becomes extremely dry and cracked leading to xerotic eczema.
Prevention: Keep the skin moisturized by applying hydrating creams or lotions regularly, especially after bathing.
Treatment: For severe cases, a dermatologist might prescribe topical steroids or other medicated creams to manage symptoms.
Benign Growths such as seborrheic keratosis, cherry angiomas, skin tags etc. These harmless growths are associated with ageing.

Prevention: Protecting skin from the sun by using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding smoking can help maintain skin’s elasticity.
Treatment: Treatments like laser resurfacing, dermal fillers, or radiofrequency therapy can help tighten loose skin, under the supervision of a dermatologist.
Transparent or Thinned Skin leading to easy bruising: Due to decreased elastin and skin thickness skin gets bruised easily.
Prevention: Avoiding excessive sun exposure and using protective measures like wearing long sleeves can help prevent further thinning of the skin.
Treatment: While thinning skin is a natural aging process, addressing any contributing factors like poor nutrition or steroid use with the help of a dermatologist can be beneficial.
Increased susceptibility to infections (due to low immunity): Fungal and bacterial infections are commonly seen. Also, bedsores are common in bedridden patients.
Prevention: Maintaining good hygiene, keeping skin dry, and turning bedridden patients frequently to prevent bedsores are crucial preventive measures.
Treatment: Infections may be treated with topical or oral antibiotics or antifungals, and bedsores may require specialized wound care under a healthcare provider’s supervision.
Skin Cancer: Certain types of skin cancer are seen with ageing.
Prevention: Regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, avoiding tanning beds, and undergoing routine skin checks can help in early detection and prevention of skin cancer.
Treatment: Treatment options can range from surgical removal, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, to immunotherapy, depending on the type and stage of skin cancer, under the guidance of an oncologist or dermatologist.
Skin care is important for older adults because as we age, our skin becomes thinner, drier, and more fragile. This can increase the risk of skin damage, infections, and other skin problems.
