No, after BAMS you can't be dermatologist like in modern medical. For that you must do MBBS and then MD in Dermatology. BAMS doctors only learn Ayurveda way of treatment.
Still, they can do Ayurvedic dermatology and help with skin problem using herbs and natural method. But they are not allowed to do modern dermatology things like laser or advance allopathic treatment.

Yes, BAMS doctors are getting more and more demand now, because people like Ayurveda and other old style medicine. Many people like natural treatment and full body care, so they go to BAMS doctors in city and village both. They help in long sickness, prevention and for staying healthy.

Yes, BAMS doctor can also be drug inspector if they do right study and get the need qualification. But not everyone can do it just after finishing BAMS, they need extra step.
Mostly drug inspector job ask for degree in Pharmacy or something like that. Still BAMS student can take more training in medicine, pharmacology or pharma science and then apply. So it's not impossible, but little more work needed.

Choosing between the BDS course and BAMS depends largely on personal interests and career goals.
