Dermatology

Overview

The most common problems include eczema, acne, psoriasis and various fungal infections, as well as screening for and treatment of benign and malignant skin tumours.

When should we see a dermatologist?

Changes in the skin are easy to see, so proper treatment of symptoms noticed in time guarantees faster healing and a more pleasing cosmetic result. See our specialist if you notice any of the following:

• Changes in moles: If a mole changes colour, shape or size, its edge becomes blurred, or it starts to itch or bleed (yearly screening is recommended even without symptoms!).
• Rashes and eczema: Recurring redness, or itchy, dry or weeping patches appearing anywhere on the body.
• Acne and inflammation: Persistent spots that do not improve with home treatment, or that heal with scarring.
• Fungal infections: Thickening or discolouration of the nails, or peeling and itching of the skin between the toes.
• Hair loss and scalp complaints: For patchy or increased hair loss, or stubborn dandruff and scalp irritation.
• Skin growths: Warts, skin tags, or any newly appeared wound that will not heal, or a lump.

The most common conditions treated in dermatology

Skin cancer screening (melanoma screening) The most important preventive examination, in which we check your moles with a dermatoscope. With skin cancers, early detection can save lives.

Inflammatory skin conditions Treatment of atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis and rosacea with modern topical products and systemic therapies.

Viral and bacterial infections Professional and discreet care of common and genital warts (HPV), shingles, herpes and various skin inflammations.

How a dermatology examination proceeds

With us, the examination is thorough and covers every detail. Our aim is to find the exact cause of the symptoms and to set out an effective treatment.

1. Medical history: A detailed discussion of when symptoms started, whether they run in the family, the cosmetics you use and the medicines you take.
2. Physical examination: Inspection of the whole skin surface in natural or special lighting.
3. Dermatoscopy: Examination of moles and growths with a special handheld microscope (a dermatoscope), which also allows the deeper structures of the skin to be analysed.
4. Additional tests: If needed, a sample for culture (fungi, bacteria), a biopsy (tissue sample) or an allergy test may be ordered.

How should you prepare for the examination?

Please come to the examination without make-up or nail varnish, as these can hide lesions. It is worth making a list of the skincare products and medicines you currently use, as these give the doctor important information.
