2^nd International Dermatologists Annual Meeting October 05-06, 2020 Auckland, Newzealand

 Dermatology procedures can improve the appearance of the skin by correcting skin flaws such as acne, scars, and wrinkles. Dermatologists can also treat skin conditions that may not necessarily be harmful but can affect or even disfigure the appearance. Here, you can find helpful information about cosmetic dermatology procedures and how they can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Dermatopathology is a joint subspecialty of dermatology and pathology and to a lesser extent of surgical pathology that focuses on the study of cutaneous diseases at a microscopic and molecular level. It also encompasses analyses of the potential causes of skin diseases at a basic level. Dermatopathologists work in close association with clinical dermatologists. In fact, most of them are trained primarily in dermatology themselves. Dermatologists are able to recognize most skin diseases based on their appearances, anatomic distributions, and behavior. Sometimes, however, those criteria do not allow a conclusive diagnosis to be made, and a skin biopsy is taken to be examined  under the microscope or are subject to other molecular tests. That process reveals the histology of the disease and results in a specific diagnostic interpretation. In some cases, additional specialized testing needs to be performed on biopsies, including immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, flow cytometry, and molecular-pathologic analysis.

Dermatoepidemiology is the study of skin disease at the population level. One aspect of dermatoepidemiology is the determination of the global burden of skin diseases from 1990 to 2013, skin disease constituted approximately 2% of total global disease disability as measured in disability adjusted life years (DALYS).

Clinical dermatology involves Common Skin Growths, Eczema / Atopic Dermatitis, Acne, Excessive Sweating, Itchy Skin, Pediatric Dermatology, Hair Problems, Hives, Psoriasis & Psoriatic Arthritis, Skin Cancer, Skin Infections, Skin Rashes, Rosacea, Scar Management

Pediatric dermatology is the speciality of medicine that deals with caring for children (newborns through adolescents) with skin disorders. Pediatric dermatologists treat children in the outpatient clinic setting but may also care for hospitalized patients. Many perform surgical procedures such as laser therapy and cutaneous surgery. Pediatric dermatologists diagnose a wide variety of skin disorders including birthmarks (vascular and pigmented), skin infections, dermatitis (atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis), melanocytic nevi (moles), genodermatoses (inherited skin disorders), acneiform eruptions, rare forms of skin cancer, drug eruptions, viral exanthems, and collagen vascular disorders.

Skin grafts are performed in a hospital. Most skin grafts are done using general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep throughout the procedure and won’t feel any pain.

Immuno dermatology is the study and treatment of the Immune-Mediated Skin Diseases such as psoriasis. Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE), Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) and Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) are some type of autoimmune diseases, in which our body immune system mistakenly acts against our own healthy cells or tissue or parts of the body. Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE) also known as lupus. In this case, most commonly face tissue will affect. The root cause is not entirely clear, it is believed to involve some hormones, environmental and genetic factors. There is no permanent cure for SLE, but corticosteroids, immunosuppressant, hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate will help to reduce the effects. Bullous Pemphigoid is a chronic autoimmune disorder, which will form the blisters (Bullae) at the space between the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. It comes under the Type II Hypersensitivity. Immunofluorescence study will help to diagnose this disease. Pemphigus Vulgaris is a rare chronic blistering (Oral blisters) skin disease. It also comes under Type II Hypersensitivity.

Skin cancers are cancers that arise from the skin. They are due to the development of abnormal cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. There are three main types of skin cancers: basal-cell skin cancer (BCC), squamous-cell skin cancer (SCC) and melanoma. The first two, along with several less common skin cancers, are known as nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC).  Basal-cell cancer grows slowly and can damage the tissue around it but is unlikely to spread to distant areas or result in death. It often appears as a painless raised area of skin, that may be shiny with small blood vessel running over it or may present as a raised area with an ulcer.[1] Squamous-cell skin cancer is more likely to spread. It usually presents as a hard lump with a scaly top but may also form an ulcer. Melanomas are the most aggressive. Signs include a mole that has changed in size, shape, color, has irregular edges, has more than one color, is itchy or bleeds.

Aesthetic medicine is an inclusive term for specialties that focus on improving cosmetic appearance through the treatment of conditions including scars, skin laxity, wrinkles, moles, liver spots, excess fat, cellulite, unwanted hair, skin discoloration, and spider veins. Traditionally, aesthetic medicine includes dermatology, reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery. Aesthetic medicine includes both surgical procedures (liposuction, facelifts, breast implants, Radio frequency ablation) and non-surgical procedures (radio frequency skin tightening, non-surgical liposuction, chemical peel, high-intensity focused electromagnetic field, radio frequency fat removal), and practitioners may utilize a combination of both. Although aesthetic medicine procedures are typically elective, they can significantly improve quality of life, psychological wellbeing and social engagement.

Mohs surgery is a precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. During Mohs surgery, layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. Mohs surgery is also known as Mohs micrographic surgery.

Common fungal skin infections are caused by yeasts (such as Candida or Malassezia furfur) or dermatophytes, such as Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton. Fungal infection occurs when the fungal spores come into contact with the skin or are inhaled.

Reconstructive surgery is often performed on cancer patients as well as on burn and accident victims. It may involve there building of severely fractured bones, as well as skin grafting. Reconstructive surgery includes such procedures as their attachment of an amputated finger or toe, or implanting a prosthesis.
