If you have a reputable expert witness (dermatologist) who will testify that the treating dermatologist's treatment fell below the applicable standard of care, then you should be able to establish liability (assuming there are no other facts that would detract from your case). In terms of damages, that is hard to quantify. It is difficult to give a "chance of success" because of the variables involved.
