  Dr. Alexa B. Kimball, an associate professor of dermatology at the Harvard Medical School said a simple explanation might be that the demand for medical dermatologists outstrips the supply.
  
  At a time of increased awareness about skin diseases like melanoma and psoriasis, more people seek medical appointments with dermatologists, Dr. Kimball said.Meanwhile, a wider array of doctors like plastic surgeons and even some internists offer Botox shots, she said.
