Skin

The skin protects us from harmful external influences, regulates our body temperature, is immunologically active and is very important for our external appearance. Skin diseases are diverse and can have symptoms such as redness, itching, burning, scaling, blistering, purulent pustules and abscesses, tissue loss with open skin wounds and excessive scarring. Due to strong exposure to UV light chronic photodamage with skin pigmentation, benign and malignant tumours can occur. Environmental influences often lead to allergic reactions. Many common skin diseases such as neurodermatitis, acne and psoriasis burden and stigmatize those affected. Chronic skin diseases significantly reduce the quality of life. Modern dermatology has a wide range of examination and treatment options to help patients with skin problems.
