Hawally, Kuwait - Dermatology is a highly competitive specialty, and for a good reason. Driven by the passion to help people with medical needs and improve their quality of life, Dr Abdulaziz Al Rashed, a consultant dermatologist at Dar Al Shifa Hospital in Kuwait, shares his journey in discovering and choosing dermatology as his specialty.

"As a medical student, I had a preconceived notion of what the practice of medicine entailed and what it meant to be a doctor. Dermatology is precisely what I envisioned medicine to be - visually diagnosing, confirming with a biopsy, seeing it on pathology, and watching the patient keep improving," says Dr Abdulaziz Al Rashed.

Fascinated by the intriguing nature of skin diseases and their significant impact on people's lives, Dr Abdulaziz Al Rashed discovered that the success of a dermatologist relies on essential hands-on skills such as keen attention to detail and an initial diagnosis through observation.

Dr Abdulaziz Al Rashed has gained expertise in accurately describing skin contusions, identifying the clinical manifestations of common skin diseases, and diagnostic procedures. He has also become well-versed in identifying the risk factors of skin cancer, basic epidemiology, and treatment options for common skin conditions.

According to Dr Adbulaziz Al Rashed, "the most satisfying part of treating a patient is seeing the improvement right in front of me rather than a hidden lab value." His expertise, passion, and aptitude for dermatology make him a perfect fit for the specialty, and he is looking forward to providing the best possible counselling, education, and treatment to his patients.

As Dr Abdulaziz Al Rashed says, "Your skin is your important organ, so it’s crucial that you take care of it. This sometimes requires consulting a dermatologist for specialised care." Whether you have skin problems or want to improve the appearance of your skin, a dermatologist can provide you with the cosmetic and medical treatments you require.

Dr Abdulaziz Al Rashed offers free treatment to people in financial need, driven by his desire to provide satisfaction to his patients by relieving pain, increasing self-esteem, and improving their quality of life. He lives by his favourite quote, "the best is yet to come," staying optimistic and having a positive outlook on life, has helped him get through the ups and downs of life and made him stronger.
