Dermatology is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. The conditions it addresses span a wide spectrum, from common complaints such as eczema, acne, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis to infections, autoimmune skin Diseases, and skin cancers. Dermatologists employ clinical examination, diagnostic tests such as patch testing and biopsy, and a range of treatments including topical and systemic medications, phototherapy, laser therapy, and surgical procedures. Because the skin both reflects and influences general health, dermatology also intersects with allergy, occupational medicine, oncology, and cosmetic care. Within this journal's scope on Diseases, related research includes a multicentre survey of contact hypersensitivity to lavender oil, illustrating allergic contact dermatitis to a common natural ingredient, and a study on the use of delayed photographs of patch test reactions in professional ice hockey players, which examines the diagnosis of contact allergy. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to dermatology and the diagnosis and management of skin and related disorders.
