Then you must do a year long internship and then apply for a 3 year residency in dermatology which, along with radiology, opthalmology and anaesthesiology, is incredibly difficult to get.
But i can honestly say it takes up to 10 years or so. You will have to complete a Bachelor degree--Biology, Bio-Chemistry or Bio-Physics would make the most sense. Then you will have to take the MCAT and score well to get into med school. So far your looking at 8 years. After med school you will be a doc but you have to do a residency this is 2-3 years and then you have to specialize in dermatology. So bet on about 12 years at least before the paychecks start rolling in. I know that it takes a very long time and some may think it isn't worth the time,money and hard work.
