In addition, many dermatologists also provide treatments to improve the health and appearance of the skin through clinical and cosmetic dermatology procedures. 

When should I see a dermatologist? 
You should consider seeing a dermatologist if you notice skin problems such as persistent acne, unusual spots, itching, redness, excessive hair loss, changes in moles, or skin lesions that do not heal. It is also recommended to visit a dermatologist if you want to evaluate your skin health, prevent skin diseases, or receive professional advice about treatments to improve the appearance and care of your skin.

This usually includes a clinical examination, diagnosis of the condition, treatment recommendations, and guidance on proper skin care. In some cases, minor procedures, mole evaluations using dermoscopy, or personalized dermatological treatment plans may also be recommended.
