Our Expertise

Dermatology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the health of the skin, nails, and hair. As the body's largest organ, the skin plays a critical role in our overall health, acting as a barrier against harmful environmental factors.

Our dermatologists are equipped to diagnose and treat a variety of skin conditions, including:

• Acne
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Rosacea
• Skin cancers
• Hair and nail disorders
• Autoimmune skin diseases
• Skin infections
• Pigmentation disorders
• Allergic skin reactions

When to See a Dermatologist?

Any changes or concerns with your skin, hair, or nails warrant a visit to a dermatologist. This includes persistent rashes, acne, unexplained hair loss, changes in the color or size of moles, or any new or unusual growths on the skin. Early detection is often the key to successful treatment, especially in the case of skin cancer.

Process of Dermatological Examination

The examination begins with the patient's medical history: the doctor thoroughly questions the patient about their symptoms and previous illnesses. Previous medical records and treatment notes can provide useful information to the treating physician, so it's important to bring these along to the consultation. This is followed by a physical examination of the affected skin area. The dermatoscope, a special microscope equipped with a magnifying glass and internal lighting, can be a useful tool for this examination. After a thorough examination, the dermatologist will suggest a treatment for the problem or, if necessary, recommend additional tests for the patient. It may also happen that skin symptoms indicate a problem originating from an internal organ, in such cases the dermatologist will help the patient decide which specialist to turn to.

Common Skin Change

• Fibroma: a small, skin-colored, usually soft growth that primarily occurs on the neck and in the armpit.
• Wart: a common type of wart is the common wart. This skin change can occur on the fingers, soles, and limbs. Another type is the running wart, which most often appears on the face or limbs and can spread extremely quickly. Swimming pool warts are viral alterations that can cause itching. Warts may also appear on the skin in older age. These are usually brownish in color, similar to moles, and appear on the torso, neck or hands. There are several methods available for the treatment and removal of viral warts, so it is best to consult a dermatologist with the complaint.
• Moles: their appearance, size, and color can vary. Some moles can develop into melanoma (malignant tumor), so it's important to check them regularly. If you notice any changes in your mole, it's advisable to see a doctor as soon as possible. Book a mole screening at our institution!
• Condyloma acuminatum: typically occurring on the genital, skin-colored or brownish, rice grain-sized skin growth.

Dermatological Treatment Options

The treatment of dermatological changes may vary depending on their type and size.

• Diathermy: a tissue removal procedure and hemostasis based on the concentrated heat effect of electric current.
• Skin lesion removal with Volkmann spoon: some skin lesions can be removed with a special sharp tool, a Volkmann spoon.
• Cryo treatment: cryo therapy is a freezing procedure in which the skin tissue to be removed is cooled to its freezing point with liquid nitrogen, causing it to die, allowing healthy, new skin to form in its place.

Further Dermatological Examinations

• Photo-documentation of skin changes: in certain skin changes, moles, it may be advisable to have them regularly checked and photo-documented. The images can be used to track the changes in the mole, thus potentially recognizing if it's a pathological change in time.
• Tissue sampling: to establish an accurate diagnosis, histological diagnosis may also be needed. This involves taking a sample from the affected tissue with an aspiration or biopsy needle, or in certain cases, through a surgical procedure.
