Who is a Dermatologist?
Dermatologists are medical professionals who specialise in diagnosing and treating all skin conditions, including skin cancer. After medical school, they complete five years of intensive hospital-based specialist training focused solely on skin. They manage thousands of cases and are held to the highest professional standards, with rigorous exams, ongoing assessments and advanced expertise in both common and complex skin problems.
In contrast, skin cancer doctors are GPs who specialise in family medicine and then do courses in skin cancer. While they play a useful role in community care, they are not specialist dermatologists.
Dermatologists perform detailed skin checks, biopsies, and skin cancer removals to international gold standards. Their professional training enables them to detect even subtle changes and deliver accurate diagnoses and effective treatment.
