Dermaordinologie
Dermaordinologie
Dermaordinologie (pronunciation: der-ma-or-di-no-lo-gie) is a specialized field of study within the broader discipline of Dermatology. It focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders using a combination of dermatological and endocrinological knowledge.
Etymology
The term "Dermaordinologie" is derived from three Greek words: "derma" meaning skin, "endo" meaning within, and "logia" meaning study. Thus, it can be interpreted as the study of internal skin conditions.
Overview
Dermaordinologie is a relatively new field that combines the expertise of dermatologists and endocrinologists to better understand and treat skin conditions that are influenced by hormonal changes in the body. This includes conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and certain types of skin cancer.
