Who is a Dermatologist? What type of treatments do they offer?
A Dermatologist is a doctor who has received education in, and has experience in treating conditions related to skin, hair and nails. The primary domain of a dermatologist is treating skin-related issues, minor as well as critical. However, you will find that many dermatologists also have experience in treating problems related to hair too, which is the primary domain of a trichologist. But you shouldn’t worry about getting your hair issues treated from an expert dermatologist with experience in dealing with hair problems. You can find an expert dermatologist in Ahmedabad from the above list and be assured of getting effective treatments, be it skin or hair.
Why is it necessary to visit a Dermatologist instead of a general doctor or using over-the-counter (OTC) products by yourself?
As mentioned above, a dermatologist has expertise in diagnosing and treating skin and hair-related problems. While a general physician may give you advise and medication to treat very minor problems, treating severe issues or controlling your minor problems from becoming worse is beyond their expertise. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you find an expert dermatologist in Ahmedabad as soon as you notice any skin or hair problem.
Similarly, buying OTC products isn’t a wise choice either. You may look at a problem and think that an OTC product, like a cream or shampoo, can help you treat it. However, you can never correctly identify the severity of an issue just by looking at it. But an expert dermatologist can do that. So, to prevent minor problems from becoming critical, visit a dermatologist at the first instance of noticing a problem.
Can home-made or natural remedies be trusted? Are they a better alternative to visiting a dermatologist?
It’s a common tendency among patients to follow home-made or natural remedies suggested by their friends and family when they notice a skin or hair problem. However, you should know that such remedies are questionable when it comes to results. They may show results in some people, whereas others’ conditions could unaffected. What’s more, you never know if a remedy is suitable for your skin or hair type or not. If you are allergic to a particular remedy, things may only get worse for you.
Another fact about such treatments is that they produce slow results, if at all. Because of which, they are good as precautionary measures, but not as treatments!
Dermatologists often get patients who had followed home-made remedies but didn’t see any results. But by that time, their condition had even worsened.
So visiting a dermatologist is the right thing to do when you notice a problem. It would save your time, efforts and your skin/hair.
