FYI. All doctors do 'grand rounds' their last year in medical school before choosing a specialty. While in these rounds, which take about a year, they experience every general specialty in medicine. This stretches from the ER, to OB/GYN, to intensive care and everything in between. I am not necessarily saying what this dermatologist said is 100% correct, but I am sure that they have seen their fair share and have enough experience to reference when diagnosing a basic skin condition. A Dermatologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases, this is a 3 year specialty beyond medical school. I am not saying they know more then anyone in here about shaving, but I am sure they know what is wrong with his skin and how to best treat it.
