Dermatology: the branch of medicine dealing with the skin, nails, hair and its diseases. It is a specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. The skin is the largest and most visible organ of the body. It reflects the health of the body and acts as a barrier against injury and bacteria. A dermatologist treats diseases and some cosmetic problems of the skin, scalp, hair, and nails.
