What does
Dermatology deal with?
The skin is the largest organ of the human body, covering approximately two square meters of an average-sized person. This layer, only a few millimeters thick, performs a variety of important functions. Its primary role is to physically protect the body, but it also plays a vital role in fighting pathogens, filtering harmful UV radiation, and regulating body temperature, making it the first line of defense in maintaining the body’s internal order. Due to the various external influences, this organ frequently becomes diseased. One of the most important disease groups requiring attention is cancerous skin conditions. In the case of dermatological tumors (as with any other type of cancer), early detection through regular screenings offers the best chance of recovery. The most significant cause of skin cancer is excessive UV radiation, as the skin can only handle harmful sun exposure to a certain extent. During the summer, always use high-SPF sunscreen, avoid sunburn, and consult a doctor immediately if you notice any suspicious skin changes.
When should you visit a dermatologist?
How does a dermatological examination proceed?
Our specialist will inquire in detail about your previous known illnesses, medications, and past surgeries. The affected area is then examined with the naked eye and a dermatoscope (a handheld device equipped with a lamp and magnifier). The examination takes a few minutes and is completely painless. To identify the condition, a biopsy may be required. Moles, warts, and other skin lesions are often excised by a surgeon. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which may cause mild discomfort only during the anesthesia process. All removed skin lesions are sent for histological examination.
If necessary, our dermatologist may also recommend laboratory tests or further internal medicine examinations.
Treatment of Excessive Sweating with Injections
Injection treatment for excessive sweating is an ideal solution for those who wish to stop sweating, avoid uncomfortable situations, and easily handle the warmer months. The treatment is a quick, simple, and reliable non-surgical procedure.
Advantages of the Treatment
The active ingredient only inhibits the function of sweat-responsible muscles by attaching to nerve endings and chemically blocking nerve conduction. However, its effect is only temporary, and muscle function later returns to normal. If you are deemed suitable for treatment following a preliminary dermatological assessment, our specialist can perform the procedure immediately after consultation, which is done under topical anesthesia. You should expect 15-20 needle insertions per area.
After the injection, minimal skin redness, sensitivity, or bruising may occur, but these symptoms disappear shortly. The early results of the treatment can be felt within 1-3 days after the procedure, while the final effect takes about 10-14 days to achieve. It’s important to note that hair removal is required before treatment, and deodorant use is prohibited 24 hours prior. After treatment, activities that cause warming of the treated areas are not recommended as they may weaken the effect (e.g., sunbathing, sauna, sports).
Like all treatments, this one can have side effects. These include local swelling, bruising, numbness, nausea, and headache.

During childhood, numerous skin conditions can cause unpleasant symptoms. Even a harmless rash can bother a child, as it may itch, become sore, or cause a burning sensation. In such cases, it is always advisable to consult a specialist!
How does a pediatric dermatological examination proceed?
The pediatric dermatological examination begins with taking the child’s medical history. The dermatologist will ask the parent and the child in detail about the observed symptoms, focusing on the skin but also covering any previous illnesses. The pediatric dermatologist will then proceed by examining the affected area of the skin. If necessary, the skin and dermal structures will be examined more closely using a magnifying glass or a specialized device with internal lighting and magnification, known as a dermatoscope.
