Almost everyone has unwanted hair that seems displeasing. A desire to do something about it requires a review of the available options. However, the choice remains far from simple.

Building on a body of knowledge developed over centuries, the field of dermatology continues to serve a critical need in society. Modern dermatology offers great possibilities far beyond the imagination of ancient Egyptian caregivers or the founders of the first school for dermatologists in 1801.
While it may seem difficult to imagine, ancient Egyptian physicians practiced dermatology. Even in 3500 B.C., they realized that skin issues mattered to patients.

However, confirming their identity with a dermatologist can provide peace of mind.
Innovative techniques developed by Dr. Frederick Mohs at the University of Wisconsin introduced life-saving procedures that dermatologists at Derick Dermatology implement for patients.
