Answer 2

You did not indicate at what level you are interested.
If you want to become a dermatologist, you would have to complete medical school and a residency or fellowship. You should be able to go to any Medical school website to obtain the requirements.
If you are interested in the aesthetics/skin care side, e.g., aestethician, you would be able to find out info from web sites for cosmetology career training.
If you are interested from a nursing point of view, it would depend on your experience and any dermatology practices in your area that may have openings and the requirements for filling the positions.

Answer 3

Here is a website for general career information including about physicians (derm is a skin [and hair and nails] dr): US Occupational Outlook Handbook www.bls.gov/oco and can type into search 'physicians and surgeons'.

Dermatologists may deal with patients with skin cancer, skin disorders such as acne, eczema (dry, itchy skin) or psoriasis, or moles and warts. I'm sure that one would first need to take their pre-med courses, get accepted into medical school and then eventually specialize in dermatology and do a residency in that area which can include surgery. Wishing you the best!
