The branch of healthcare that aims to deal with such cases is Dermatology. A dermatologist specialises in skin-related infections / disorders, and technically manages and cures cosmetic abnormalities in an individual. A skin specialist in Dubai here at Aster Hospital is here to provide you a comprehensive consultation on your dermatology issues.
