Dermatology

Dermatology is a branch of clinical medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the skin, its appendages (hair, nails), and mucous membranes.

According to data from Medical Statistics Centers, skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases affect every 20th person in the world. Each year, more new cases of dermatological conditions are registered, primarily influenced by external factors, including environmental conditions.

People of all genders and ages are susceptible to skin diseases, including infants. The most common skin conditions are atopic dermatitis (30%), eczema (40%), and psoriasis (22%). The birthmarks may also be considered as dangerous skin conditions because they may develop into melanoma (a malignant tumor).

Who should seek dermatological care?

Dermatological diseases are often not life-threatening (with the exception of melanoma), but they significantly reduce quality of life and cause discomfort. It is essential to consult a dermatologist if any of the following symptoms occur:

• Rashes, acne, scaling
• Itching of the skin
• Appearance of new moles, warts, papillomas, as well as changes in the shape, color, or size of existing ones
• Pustules, ulcers, erosions
• Acneiform eruptions
• Atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, neurodermatitis

What procedures are performed in global dermatology?

Modern methods for the removal of skin neoplasms used in international dermatology include:

• Cryodestruction — targeted application of low temperatures
• Radio wave excision — removal using high-frequency radio waves
• Electrocoagulation — removal using electric current (electrosurgical knife)
• Laser treatment — vaporization using a highly precise laser beam (applicable to any area of the body, including mucous membranes)

These procedures have several advantages: targeted impact, no scarring, no bleeding, and minimal trauma. The recovery process takes no more than an hour, and the risk of complications is minimized..

Artificial intelligence in dermatology

The world’s leading clinics employ the latest method of digital dermatoscopy with artificial intelligence. This technology allows for scanning the skin and creating a full-body map in just four minutes. Subsequent detection of neoplasms (BodyScan) is performed automatically. The method enables early detection of malignant tumors through computer analysis and access to an extensive image database.
