The Departments of Dermatology and Venereology were initially started with a combined status called the Dermato - Venereology Department at the Andhra Medical College. Dr Govindan Nair was the first Head of the Department (HOD). In 1956, the two departments were bifurcated and Dr B.V. Satyanarayana took over the helm of the Department of Dermatology. The alumni of this Department are now heading most of the Dermatology departments in other Medical Colleges of the State.

Dermatology is taught as part of the subject Medicine. The Department has several papers and publications of its alumni to its credit.
