Dermatology Zurich – Holistic approach to your skin health

Common dermatological diseases and treatments

Skin diseases can be diverse and have different causes. They range from inflammatory skin problems to cosmetic or life-threatening diseases such as skin cancer. Every skin condition requires an individual diagnosis and a tailor-made treatment plan. The most common skin diseases treated in our clinic include:

Acne
Acne is a common skin condition caused by clogged pores, inflammation, and bacteria, and usually occurs on the face and back. Treatment ranges from topical creams to antibiotics and laser therapy. The goal of acne treatment is to reduce inflammation and open pores.

Spider veins
Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that often appear on the legs and are visible as red or blue lines. They are usually harmless, but can be treated for cosmetic reasons, for example with laser therapy or sclerotherapy.

Varicose veins
Varicose veins are dilated, swollen veins that often shimmer bluish through the skin. There are various treatment options such as compression stockings, vein sclerotherapy or laser therapy.

Rosacea (couperose)
Rosacea, also known as couperose in the early stages, is a chronic skin disease that manifests itself as redness, visible veins and inflammatory pustules on the face. It often affects adults and can be exacerbated by factors such as external environmental influences or genetic predisposition. Targeted treatment with medication and laser therapy can alleviate symptoms and soothe the skin.

Eczema (dermatitis)
Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition that is accompanied by itching, redness and scaling. They can be triggered by allergies, skin irritation or genetic factors. Treatment usually includes topical creams to reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier.

Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease that manifests itself as scaly, red patches of skin. These skin changes can occur in different parts of the body and often cause itching or pain. The therapy includes anti-inflammatory drugs and special care products.

Neurodermatitis
Neurodermatitis, also known as atopic eczema, is a chronic skin disease that can occur mainly in children, but also in adults. It manifests itself through severely itchy, inflamed and dry areas of skin that occur in episodes. The treatment consists of moisturizing care products and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Warts
Warts are benign skin growths caused by viruses, usually human papillomaviruses (HPV). They occur in different parts of the body and can be removed with topical medications, cold treatments, or laser therapy.

Skin cancer
Skin cancer is caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of skin cells and can be life-threatening if not detected early. There are different forms of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (white skin cancer) and malignant melanoma (black skin cancer). Through regular skin cancer screening, skin cancer can be detected and treated quickly.

Skin tumors
Skin tumors can be benign or malignant and require an accurate diagnosis by dermatological examinations. Treatment varies depending on the type and stage of the tumor and may include surgery or medication and laser therapy.

Early detection of skin diseases

Early detection is of great importance for the successful treatment of skin diseases. If detected in time, many skin problems, especially skin cancer, can be treated well. Therefore, regular skin checks by a specialist are recommended.

Skin cancer screening
includes a thorough examination of the skin to detect changes that could indicate skin cancer at an early stage. Moles and other skin changes are closely examined. With the help of reflected light microscopy, digital follow-up and modern imaging techniques, such as the innovative VECTRA 3D full-body scanner for the detection of skin cancer at an early stage, we can detect even the smallest abnormalities and act immediately if necessary. The earlier skin cancer is detected, the greater the chances of recovery.

Skin analysis
A skin analysis is used to accurately assess the condition of the skin in order to identify individual skin problems and make appropriate treatment recommendations. With the help of modern technologies such as 3D imaging, we can examine the condition of the skin in detail and recommend a tailor-made treatment. A detailed skin analysis not only helps us to identify medical skin problems, but also to plan aesthetic measures such as anti-aging treatments in a targeted manner.
