I agree with you on that, but I think the students that become interested in derm are interested because of the competitive nature of the field and then convince themselves that derm is why they went into medicine in the first place. In practice, they see mostly acne and skin cancer with the occasional atopic dermatitis and psoriasis to mix things up. The rest of the time they just biopsy it anyway. The sad thing is that the most difficult field, Internal Medicine, often does not get the best and brightest.
