Dermatologists

These specialists focus on our biggest organ, the skin. Dermatologists treat issues with diseases such as skin allergies, moles, or even skin cancer.

Example

Dermatologists who see elastin problems in their patients' skin can now have the foresight to refer their patients to a cardiologist and an immunologist to see if the patient has AATD or may be having issues with blood vessels. Problems with the blood vessel's elasticity required for proper circulation can potentially be attributed to the same excess neutrophil elastase eating away at the elastin in their patients' skin.
