About us

Dermatology is a medical science which deals with the skin, the largest organ of human body. It covers a wide range of diseases including allergic, inflammatory, infectious and hereditary diseases, and benign and malignant tumors. In addition to clinical aspect, basic and clinical research is also important and attractive, since skin symptom is visible and accessible, therefore, it is less invasive to obtain the specimens. This is a great advantage to dermatology.
