Key massage to society as a dermatologist
“Your skin is not just your outer appearance — it’s the largest organ of your body and a mirror of your overall health. Protect it, respect it, and care for it with the same attention you give to your heart or your diet. Early consultation with a dermatologist can prevent many skin diseases, detect cancers in time, and improve confidence and quality of life. Healthy skin is not about beauty — it’s about well-being.
