In addition to the fact that our skin contributes to our social judgement, it plays an extraordinarily important role in maintaining our health, since it separates us as an immune organ from the environment and offers protection against harmful influences of our environment.

Some of the changes that can take place on our skin are easy to recognize, with those you should contact a doctor as soon as possible. Nevertheless, there are also skin diseases that do not lead to symptoms or are located in a hidden area and thus, are not recognized for a long time. Exactly for this reason, we think it is important to participate in regular check-ups. In addition to the health of our skin, dermatology also deals with diseases of the hair and the nails.

The first step of a dermatological examination is to take an anamnesis, the questioning of the patient not only about the symptoms but also about taken medication, the lifestyle and illnesses that occur in the family. After that the physical examination takes place which can be expanded to the whole body surface. If necessary, also a mole screening can take place which is performed with a special tool, the dermatoscope.

After that, a therapy plan is formulated and if necessary other examinations take place, e.g. histology, laboratory examination, consultation in the field of internal medicine.
