Course programme

Dermatology is the branch of medicine focused on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of skin, hair, nail, and related disorders, while skin anatomy explains the structure and function of the skin as the body’s largest organ. The skin is composed of three main layers: the epidermis, which provides a protective barrier and contains pigment-producing cells; the dermis, which supports the skin with blood vessels, nerves, glands, and connective tissue; and the hypodermis, which consists of fat and connective tissue for insulation, energy storage, and cushioning. Together, these layers protect the body from injury and infection, regulate temperature, enable sensation, and maintain overall health, making dermatology essential for understanding both normal skin function and skin diseases.
