Geriatric Dermatology

Geriatric Dermatology is a specialized field that focuses on skin issues commonly experienced by older adults. As we age, our skin undergoes various changes, becoming thinner, drier, and more susceptible to conditions like wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancers. Geriatric dermatologists assess and treat these skin problems while considering the unique health needs and medication interactions of older patients. Their goal is to enhance skin health, promote comfort, and maintain quality of life for aging individuals by addressing both medical and cosmetic concerns.
