Department of Dermatology and STD
The history of dermatology is the history of mankind. Failure to care for the skin increases the risk of skin infections leading to mental distress and disability, and caring for the skin improves the chances of being perceived as being attractive to others thereby enhancing survival of an individual’s genes.
