DEAR PATIENTS,

The skin is the largest and possibly most sensitive human organ. It is also an organ which performs key functions. Skin texture and structure differ from person to person and they say a lot about how we have treated our body over the years. Little wonder that the skin is said to be the mirror of the soul. Our skin is directly exposed to environmental influences and we often have a genetic predisposition to certain problems such as allergies or vein disorders. That is why the medical field of dermatology is made up of several different areas of expertise, all of which are catered to by our surgery.

We are aware of approximately 3,000 different skin disorders. Some are widespread and harmless, others are extremely rare and can even be terminal. There has been an increase in the incidence of allergic and sun-related skin disorders over recent years. For example, surgery on skin cancer or pre-skin cancer is the most frequent type of surgery performed today on outpatients at medical specialist surgeries. Please do not hesitate to contact us for medical advice if you are concerned about a skin problem.
