Yes, they treat both.
Good luck
Yes they usually are, as both these specialties i-e dermatology and venereology are dealt by dermatologist.
Venereology is a branch of medicine dealing with the study and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. The name derives from Roman goddess Venus, associated with love, beauty and fertility. A medical doctor specializing in venereology is called a venereologist. The specialty is sometimes combined with dermatology.
Usually Dermatologists study Venerology (STD) also because both are interlinked
for your doubts to get clarified
see a doctor who is a STD specialist or Infectious diseases specialist.
1. Dermatologist: A doctor who specializes in the physiology and pathology of the skin
2. Veneralogist: A doctor who specializes in the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment of venereal disease.
