The plural form referring to multiple fields, branches, or approaches to the study and treatment of skin diseases.
From 'dermatology' (Greek 'derma' + 'logia') with the standard English plural '-ies'. The plural form reflects how dermatology has subdivided into specialized branches like surgical dermatology, pediatric dermatology, and cosmetic dermatology.
Modern dermatologies have branched into fascinating specialties: teledermatology lets people get skin diagnoses via video, cosmetic dermatology uses lasers and injectables, and surgical dermatology performs Mohs surgery that saves lives from melanoma.
