Who Should See a Dermatologist?
When it comes to your skin, there are a variety of different conditions one may develop. For example, many babies and children struggle with eczema and dry skin. Teenagers often battle acne and oily skin. Even adults can face a variety of skin conditions especially as the skin ages. With this being said, there are no restrictions on who should see a dermatologist. In fact, we recommend that everyone should see a dermatologist at some point in their lives. Regular skin check-ups can often catch early signs of any severe skin conditions including skin cancer. If you are experiencing symptoms such as redness, itching, pus, or pain, it is also a good idea to have your condition diagnosed by a professional dermatologist.
