What is cosmetic dermatology?
How is it different from regular dermatology? Can cosmetic dermatologists still treat skin conditions or only administer cosmetic enhancement?

Hello,
Dermatologists focus on medical issues related to the skin. Cosmetic dermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology that concentrates on aesthetic issues and the cosmetic applications of dermatology.
Thank you.

I have 3 spots on my forearm; I've had them over 5 years. In the interim,I had two blood tests for cancer, which have been negative. Two spots are light brown and the size of a pencil eraser. The one in the middle is not quite dime-sized, but it is brown to reddish brown on the outside. They are all flat. The larger one has bled before. Is this normal? Do liver spots ever bleed? Should I be concerned?
