Skin diseases

Dermatology (also known as dermatology) deals with diseases of the skin and mucous membranes.
The most common skin diseases include:

• Moles, benign and malignant skin tumours, epithelial tumours, melanomas, skin appendages (sebaceous, sebaceous gland, benign and malignant tumours of the hair)
• Acne, acne-prone skin
• Eczema (skin dryness, allergy)
• Psoriasis
• Rosacea
• Infectious diseases of the skin
• Viruses (warts)
• Fungal and bacterial infections
• Allergic skin conditions (hives, eczema, food and drug allergies)
• Autoimmune- other immunological diseases, blistering diseases
• Vascular diseases, skin haemorrhages, vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels)
• Skin symptoms of caries disorders, pigment disorders, metabolic/endocrinological disorders

The dermatologists at ProctoMed Center have a unique professional background in Hungary.
They have decades of experience and are qualified as dermatologists, cosmetologists and clinical oncologists.
They treat not only common skin diseases, but also special pathologies, difficult to diagnose cases, skin tumours, melanoma.

MOLE, MELANOMA, SKIN TUMOURS

In terms of skin diseases, this is the category where the population is most affected.
Moles are congenital skin tumours, classified as benign skin tumours, or lesions that appear later in life and differ in colour or texture from the skin. More about moles, melanoma, skin tumours here.

ACNE

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions today.
It occurs mostly in adolescence, but can also occur in (young) adults.
It is characterised by closed and open blackheads, acne, inflamed nodules, cysts, fistulas, and scars can form in their place.

In addition to hereditary predisposition, it can also be triggered by changes in the composition of sebum (overgrowth of bacteria), hormonal effects, increased immune response, sensitivity of hair follicles to certain substances and blockage of the sebaceous glands.

It can be treated locally or systemically depending on the severity of symptoms.

EXCELLENCE

There are several types of eczema, the most common symptom being dry, cracked, itchy skin.
It may start with tiny blisters (seropapules), followed by inflamed, scaly patches and redness.
The symptoms do not go away on their own, so it is always worth consulting a dermatologist.

There are several known causes of eczema.
It can be caused by allergies, hereditary predisposition, external irritation.
Stress can also play a role in the recurrence of eczema symptoms.

Treatment depends on the type of eczema, and can include topical and systemic agents.
It is also an increasingly common skin condition, even at a young age.
Therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is essential.

SKIN SYMPTOMS OF INTERNAL MEDICINE DISEASES

There are a long series of textbooks on the skin symptoms of intestinal diseases, and we would like to highlight the most important ones.

Many skin symptoms of diabetes and other hormonal diseases are also known.
The primary cause of skin diseases, caries disorders, is not always skin related, e.g. neurological problems, neuropathies, sensory disorders.
The situation is similar in the case of pigmentation disorders, where the pigment-producing cells of the skin are not the only ones abnormal.
Recognising all these is essential for successful treatment.

PICKLING MACHINE

Psoriasis (also known as psoriasis) is one of the most common skin conditions, characterised by increased scaling of the skin and waxy white, silvery, scaly, iron-like plaques.
The cause is not fully understood, but genetic predisposition and external, environmental factors play a role in provoking the symptoms of the disease.
It is important to know that in addition to the skin, the nails and joints may also be affected.
The current scientific view is that the disease can affect the whole body.

Psoriasis is not curable, with symptomatic and asymptomatic periods alternating throughout the patient’s life.
With appropriate treatment, the symptom-free periods can be prolonged.
This can be done with topical (topical ointments, light therapy, etc.) but mostly with internal, systemic medication.
These include, to a large extent, biological therapies given in centres.

ROSACEA

Rosacea is a skin condition affecting 5-10% of the population, initially associated with temporary redness and associated tingling and itching.
Later, it is characterised by increasingly frequent and then persistent redness, vasodilatation, rashes, “pimple-like”, crowded nodules and purulent symptoms.

There is no cure for rosacea, but with the right treatment, the progression of the disease can be slowed, the initial condition improved and the symptoms relieved.
Topical and systemic medications can be used, and in severe cases laser therapy and corrective surgery may be considered.
In all cases, an examination is also required, especially if there are digestive, reflux, gastric or intestinal, biliary or biliary symptoms.
Detection and treatment of these diseases will result in a symptom-free condition.

VIRAL WARTS

Perhaps the most unpleasant of all skin conditions is the wart, of which there are several types:

• flat warts
• warts growing on the soles of your feet.
• genital wart (Condyloma acuminatum)
• thread-like warts.
• common wart (Verruca Vulgaris)
• swimming pool mollusc (Mollusca contagiosa)

Infection is easy to catch, as they enter the body through tiny lesions in the skin.
Their appearance, duration and treatment depends largely on the type and location of the wart.

Be sure to seek the help of a dermatologist to treat and remove them!

The help of a dermatologist is essential to establish the diagnosis, because treating a mole that has been self-diagnosed as a wart, which has been treated with home-made, caustic products, can be fatal!
Even if the diagnosis is accurate, inappropriate treatment can result in millions of viruses being transferred to other areas of the skin, thus contributing to the increased spread of warts.

There are many other known viral skin infections that do not fall into any of the above types.
One of these is the herpes virus.

FUNGAL SKIN INFECTIONS

Cutaneous fungus is usually associated with redness, peeling and itching.
It is mainly caused by 3 types of fungi, and is also aggravated by vitamin deficiencies, weakened immunity, prolonged courses of antibiotics and a warm, dark, humid environment.
It most commonly occurs in the hairline, but can also appear on the scalp and nails.

During the dermatological examination, the specialist will examine the affected area of skin and in some cases may also take blood samples.
He or she may also perform microscopic and culture tests to determine the exact form of treatment, depending on the type of fungus and the area of skin affected.
With targeted therapy, the skin fungus can be eliminated in a short time.

BACTERIAL INFECTIONS

These infections occur most often when the skin’s natural defences are compromised and pathogenic bacteria multiply.
The pus-causing bacteria can cause a wide range of symptoms, from superficial redness to deep-seated pustules, mild dermatitis to deep abscesses.
Once professionally diagnosed, treatment is not a problem.

ALLERGIC SKIN DISEASES

The family of skin diseases also includes allergic skin diseases.
Among them, hives and eczema are the most common.

Dermatological screening and identification of the provoking factors, as well as the choice of appropriate therapy as soon as possible, are recommended in case of severe itching, oedema (watery swelling) or other unpleasant skin symptoms.

IMMUNOLOGICAL DISEASES

In many cases, blistering skin diseases can be differentiated by skin histology (immunofluorescence).
This often requires collaboration with a dermatopathologist.
Immunological and skin diseases can thus be more easily distinguished from each other.

VASCULAR DISEASES, HAEMORRHAGES

In many cases, the venous circulatory disorder causes skin symptoms that cannot be cured without knowing and treating the underlying disease.
In addition, the redness and the so-called.
hemorrhages may also indicate internal (not only haematological but also other internal) diseases.
They can often be the first sign of internal tumours!
A trained eye and histological background are needed to find this out.
