Hi aspirant,

Yes ! MBBS is compulsory !You can do PG in MD/ MS in any subject only after the completion of 5.5 years of MBBS.

• In case of dermatologist, you need to first complete MBBS that is undergraduate course like any other speciality like cardiologist , neurologist etc.

• You can get the desired seat in private colleges as well but you need to pay around 5 lacs per annum. Or you can write NEET PG exam and score high marks to get a government seat. You will earn in these 3 years of PG

Hope that helps.
