DERMATOLOGY OVERVIEW

Dermatology in Chennai is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, disorders, cosmetic and ageing conditions of the skin, hair, nails, and oral and genital membranes with different therapies and surgeries.
The human skin has three parts that include the outer epidermis, middle dermis and hypodermis that acts as a communication channel between the two layers.
The epidermis is a complex ‘brick wall’ that is made of keratinocytes, which produce a protein called keratin. It also contains melanocytes, pigment cells which produce melanin, Langerhans cells, presents antigens to the immune system, and Merkel cells, have a sensory function.
The dermis is the layer of the skin present beneath the epidermis of the skin that constitutes fats, fibres, blood vessels and collagen to make the skin flexible and strong.
The hypodermis is the lowermost layer of the skin which helps to prevent injuries.
Dermatology in Chennai is usually treated by Dermatologists who perform surgeries to prevent early control of disease, to improve the skin’s appearance by removing growths or discolorations.
