Dermatology - Sexually
Transmitted Diseases
There are many STDs out
there, and the types of STD
treatment ares as varied as
their symptoms. Remember,
however, if you are diagnosed
with an STD, that the only
person who can tell you the
appropriate STD treatment is
your healthcare provider.
Treatment is decided on between
you and your doctor on an
individual basis in order to
adjust for any other issues that
may be affecting your overall
physical health.
Dermatology clinicians may
find themselves at the
forefront of diagnosis of STDs,
as the numbers of people
infected with herpes simplex
virus (HSV) and human papilloma
virus (HPV) continue to rise.
Adolescents represent a
population at particular risk
for acquiring STDs, so
dermatology practitioners must
be particularly aware of how
prevalent sexual activity is
among high school students.
