Dermatology

Dermatology is the specialty dedicated to the study of one of the most important organs of the human body due to its complexity and extension: the skin.

Dermatologists can recognize at least 3,000 abnormal conditions, many of which require specialized care.

When to see a dermatologist

Your skin, nails and hair may be undergoing important changes. These novelties occur at any time in life; in newborns, young people, and adults, as a result of external or internal factors. Therefore, it is convenient to consult a dermatologist when:

• You notice a mole that is changing shape or color.
• You have a pimple that hurts.
• You have acne.
• You feel dry, irritated skin for several days.
• You see scaly areas on your skin.
• You’re losing hair on your head.
• You have light or dark spots.
• Your nails break easily or are yellowish
• You want to improve the appearance of your skin.

Some procedures that dermatologists perform regularly include:

• Biopsies

In the Clínica del Campestre Dermatology Unit you’ll find all the facilities required to carry out these treatments: rooms for minor dermatology procedures, a laser room and operating rooms to perform dermatological surgical procedures.

Here you can consult with specialists in:

General dermatology

A general dermatologist will diagnose and treat all abnormal conditions affecting your skin. They will also recognize the signs of other diseases that may be altering your skin, nails or hair. They can perform minor procedures, such as removing moles, warts, and doing biopsies.

Surgical dermatology

You’ll be able to take advantage of the knowledge and experience of a clinical dermatologist who specializes in more extensive surgeries to remove, for example, a benign cyst or malignant tumor (basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, squamous cell). Likewise, they can perform acne surgeries and nail surgeries.

Cosmetic dermatology

Cosmetic dermatologists will help you with skin problems that affect your appearance, including hair loss, dark spots, or wrinkles. They will use the most innovative treatments such as fillers, chemical peels and lasers.

You can improve many skin conditions with laser treatments, such as skin damage caused by the sun, facial and neck tone and texture loss, facial redness, rosacea, some types of blemishes, acne scars, stretch marks and tattoos.

Pediatric dermatology

Pediatric patients frequently present skin problems such as warts, mollusks, atopic dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis. These may require biopsies, cryotherapy and resections, which are considered minor dermatological procedures. These conditions require a different personalized assessment than adults. Dealing with these may involve a very high safety profile, which is essential for pediatric patients.
