When most people think of dermatologists, they think about skin cancer and acne but dermatologists can help with so much more.
1. Eczema
Eczema is a chronic skin condition where you have itchy, dry, and flaky patches of skin. If you can’t seem to get it under control, seeing a dermatologist is the right thing to do. Dermatologists can help discover what triggers you have and create a personal skincare routine just for you. 
2. Dandruff
Although most mild dandruff can be treated with over-the-counter shampoo, if you continue to experience dandruff after trying those shampoos, it is time to see a dermatologist. They can help determine the cause of your dandruff and come up with the proper treatment plan.
3. Hair Loss
If you start to notice your hair thinning or bald patches, it could be a sign of something more serious. To find the cause of the hair loss, a dermatologist can run tests and come up with options of how to move forward.
4. Acne
If you are experiencing acne that isn’t responding to over-the-counter treatments, seeing a dermatologist is the best thing you can do. If you don’t properly treat acne, scarring can occur. Dermatologists can prescribe products that will help clear your skin.
5. Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that usually appears on the nose, cheeks, and chin. People with rosacea normally look flushed and red. Dermatologists can help determine what causes your flare-ups and come up with a treatment plan for you.
6. Scars
If you have any scarring, especially from acne, seeing a dermatologist is the right choice. They can provide products, chemical peels, and laser treatments. It’s important to go to a board-certified dermatologist to get these treatments to ensure you are getting the best care.
7. Cold Sores
If you commonly get cold sores or have a weakened immune system, you might want to schedule a visit with your dermatologist. Dermatologists can prescribe you medication to help treat your cold sores and speed up the healing time.
8. Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes red, scaly itchy skin that can be painful. There is no cure for psoriasis but it can be managed by a dermatologist. By understanding your routine and the stressors in your life, they can work out a plan to calm inflammation and strike a balance between your skin, your schedule and you. 
9. Rashes
Rashes are annoying and sometimes tricky to figure out what caused them. Dermatologists can help identify the cause, whether it is sensitivity to a product or skin condition, and come up with a solution to treat it.
10. Warts
Warts are benign growths caused by an infection of the top layer of skin. While some go away on their own, many remain for months or even years, and can easily spread. Although they aren’t usually noticeable, warts can cause pain and it is best to get them removed or treated by a dermatologist.
11. Excessive Sweating
Sweating is perfectly normal and our bodies way of cooling down. If you are out in the heat, exercising, or in a particularly stressful situation, there is nothing to worry about when it comes to sweat. But, if you find yourself sweating for no reason and it is affecting your daily routine, a dermatologist can help.
12. Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, but is one of the most treatable if caught early, which is why seeing a dermatologist is so important. Melanoma can become deadly if left untreated. If you see any skin growths that have changed in size, shape, color, thickness or texture, make an appointment with your dermatologist.
13. Nail Issues
If your nail ever separates from your nail bed, it could be related to a skin disease, an infection, or an injury. Dermatologists can help determine the cause and recommend the right treatment option. Additionally, if you have ridges or pits in your nails, it could be a sign of nail psoriasis which can also be treated by a dermatologist. 
14. Cosmetic Services
Whether it’s botox, laser treatment, microneedling, filler, or hair removal, seeing a dermatologist for these procedures is the smartest choice. A board-certified dermatologist has the proper education and experience to do these procedures in the safest and most natural manner.
15. Infections
Skin infections caused by yeast, fungus, viruses, or bacteria need treatment from a dermatologist. Whether it’s athlete’s foot, cellulitis, shingles, or lice, a dermatologist can diagnose the source of the infection and determine the best treatment option. 
It is best to be cautious. If you notice anything out of the ordinary with your skin, hair, or nails be sure to schedule an appointment with your dermatologist.
