Dermatologist consultation
Skin conditions are always a sensitive matter. Typically, patients try to address them on their own, following home remedies and internet advice. It's only when nothing works that they eventually visit a dermatologist. These illnesses aren't commonly discussed; there's a sense of embarrassment, but the problem won't disappear on its own.
If you experience symptoms of an illness, please consult a doctor.
If you need a dermatologist consultation in Lviv, we're waiting for you at "LeoDerm," where you'll receive professional assistance from specialists. Our doctors have access to modern medical equipment for diagnosing and treating dermatological issues and use only high-quality certified medical and cosmetic products.
What does a dermatologist treat?
The scope of work for a qualified dermatologist is quite broad and includes the following areas:
- Skin and nail conditions caused by fungal influence.
- Infectious and viral lesions (ringworm, herpes, papillomas, etc.).
- Neurodermatitis.
- Skin rashes resulting from medication, certain foods, or exposure to chemicals.
- Urticaria.
- Autoimmune skin conditions, including psoriasis, eczema, lupus, and others.
- Skin lesions caused by parasites.
- Skin conditions arising from internal organ and system diseases.
- Acne and other eruptions common in adolescence.
- Somatic and inflammatory diseases of glands (sebaceous, sweat).
- Excessive or insufficient pigmentation.
An important focus for a dermatologist is the diagnosis of moles, which helps prevent the development of melanoma in the future. At the "LeoDerm" clinic, a digital dermatoscope is used for examination, allowing the identification of all potentially dangerous moles. If necessary, the doctor removes the mole and sends its fragments for laboratory analysis.
When should you see a dermatologist?
Generally, any suspicious changes in the skin condition or existing discomfort are reasons to schedule a consultation with a dermatologist:
- Rashes, areas of the skin showing clear signs of inflammation.
- Redness, dryness, itching of the face or body.
- Unpleasant odor.
- Yellowing or peeling of the nail plate.
- Appearance of new formations on the skin.
- Changes in the appearance of moles: changes in color, shape, size, as well as any mechanical damage to them.
Dermatologist Consultation at LeoDerm Medical Center, Lviv
An appointment with a dermatologist always begins with discussing the patient's complaints and visually examining the issue. To obtain a more comprehensive clinical picture, the doctor may prescribe additional examinations:
- Laboratory testing of samples.
- Digital dermatoscopy.
Accurate differential diagnosis is important for establishing a diagnosis. Skin rashes or irritations can occur in various dermatological conditions or may be a secondary symptom of internal organ pathology.
Based on the established diagnosis - determining the disease, its stage, and severity, the dermatologist prescribes appropriate treatment. If necessary, they may involve allied specialists: endocrinologists, oncologists, allergists, immunologists, and surgeons.
