Like every other doctor, you need to go to medical school.

College (undergrad) will take about 4-5 years. Med school is another 4 years. Another 4 years of internship and residency before you become a dermatologist.
That amount is about right for a lot of types of doctors.

you need to go to medical school just like every other doctor. Then you concentrate during your residency in dermatology. You are looking at 8 years of school and then a 4 year residency, and then you can consider private practice.

Four years of college. Then four years of medical school. Then you need to get into a residency for dermatology -- which should take about another three years.
Eleven years all together.

You need to know all about the skin and if there are certain skin ailments that you cannot stand to see(certain types of scars or whatever)... it's prob not a good idea to get into dermatology.
You'll have to go to med school and to get into med school, gotta take MCATs

Good luck trying to get a dermatology residency. It goes to the top person in every medical school class... if s/he is LUCKY.
It is THE most competitive residency to get.
