Infectious Diseases Specialist vs Dermatologist?

Which seems to you like a better profession and why?


Also, why do dermatologist usually get paid more than ID specialists?Infectious Diseases Specialist vs Dermatologist?
This is strictly opinion. I agree with the above answers. Dermatologists can remove a skin tag or a mole and it gets billed as a minor surgery. The appearance to me is that most routine dermotology appointments are simple acne, psoriasis, mole screens,and cosmetic patients. An ID docs patients are probably more time consuming and complicated. However, I believe there is some overlap, both physician should have good knowledge of fungal infections, the derm in superficial infection, the ID doc in systemic infectionsInfectious Diseases Specialist vs Dermatologist?
Dermatology is a very difficult specialty to get into. But don't let that stop you from trying. Dermatology is a ';clean'; specialty dealing with the skin only, while infectious disease can get ';nasty'; at times and can involve other problems. I work in a derm office and we refer people to the ID when we can solve the problem. So it is highly rewarding to cure someones ongoing condition. Good luck to you and congratulations of choosing a noble profession.
Because there is more of a market for dermatologists. They offer laser peels and crap when no one has a mojor desease, and in big city's rich ladys will pay for it.





The market is not need based for a dermatologist. You can sell a desire that peopel percieve to be a need.





You will also be more popular if that matters if your a dermatologist.


Can you imagine going to a social event and certain clickish ladys wont want to ask what you did at work because its disgusting. Shallow but true.
