For skin problems, you should generally visit the dermatology department. Dermatology is a medical specialty responsible for diagnosing and treating various skin diseases, subcutaneous tissue disorders, and conditions affecting skin appendages such as hair and nails. Whether it's common skin conditions like eczema, urticaria, and acne, or sexually transmitted diseases such as genital warts and syphilis, dermatologists can provide professional diagnosis and treatment plans. Additionally, for cosmetic skin concerns, such as improving skin tone and reducing wrinkles, you may consult a dermatologist or visit a cosmetic dermatology clinic. Therefore, when experiencing any skin discomfort or having cosmetic concerns, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention from a dermatologist.
