Dermatology

Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin and its diseases, a unique specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. A dermatologist takes care of diseases, in the widest sense, and some cosmetic problems of the skin, scalp, hair, and nails.

The Vitaclinika offers a wide range of treatments for patients with skin problems, including the following conditions: acne, autoimmune and connective tissue disease, HIV-related skin disorders, mole, atpyical nevus, melanoma surveillance, disorders of cornification, pigmented disorders, environmental dermatitis, roscea, hair and nail disorders, wound and ulcer care and human papillomavirus (HPV).

Our physicians are experts in the diagnosis and advanced treatment of pediatric, adolescent and adult patients with serious as well as complex dermatologic problems.

The Vitaclinika employs total body mole mapping through MoleMax and SiaScopy to assist in the early detection of severely atypical moles and cutaneous melanoma. Most skin melanomas do not arise from a pre-existing mole, which adds to the advantage of total body photography for assessing new or changing pigmented lesions. Mole mapping is generally recommended for appropriate patients on a one-time basis, and individuals are encouraged to use the photos to assist with regular skin self-examinations.
