The study of the skin, disorders and treatments of the skin and general skin conditions (i.e. acne, eczema, rashes).

It is the study of Skin and skin care. It is usually practiced by Doctors and people go there for face and body problems

Dermatology is the study of the skin I believe and they help people with problems relating to the skin. I'd still go on yahoo's answer page to double check that, ok.

Dermatology is the study of skin. So a Dermatologist is a doctor of skin, for example he checks for skin cancer and if you have acne problems you go to him for medicine. To become a Dermatologist, you would go to medical school.

Study of the epidermis (skin)

n. doctor who specializes in dermatology (study and treatment of skin and skin disorders)

Well, I'm not a dermatologist but I've been to a few. Dermatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of skincare as well as hair and nails. They basically are trained to help patients keep your skin healthy and treat any problems. Depending on where the doctor practices, there may be a difference in requirements but generally you can expect to spend approximately 6 years in medical school and another 6 years or so in internship and further specialized training. All doctors continue training in order to keep up on the latest advances and techniques.
