常見錯誤

❌I went to see dermatologist for my rash.
✅I went to see a dermatologist for my rash.
💡'dermatologist' is a countable noun and needs a determiner (a / the / my).
❌My dermatologist doctor gave me some cream.
✅My dermatologist gave me some cream.
💡'dermatologist' already means 'doctor', so adding 'doctor' is redundant.
