In addition to treating general skin diseases for inpatients and outpatients through diagnosis , we are doing skin biopsies, fungal tests, patch tests, optical tests, and immunohistochemical tests, clinical care operates several special clinics such as laser, vitiligo, and hair clinics.

Major Diseases

• Pigmentation diseases - vitiligo, moles, freckles, blemishes
• Skin pathology and skin tumors - benign and malignant epidermal tumors, tumors of skin appendages, tumors of fibrous tissue, tumors of vascular tissue, benign melanocytic tumors and malignant. Melanoma, metastatic skin cancer
• Hair loss diseases - telogen effluvium, anagen alopecia, alopecia areata
• Contact dermatitis and skin allergies - contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, urticaria, atopic dermatitis, eczema
• Acne - comedonal, papular, inflammatory, cystic acne, acne scars
• Infectious skin diseases - bacterial and mycobacterial diseases, dermatomycosis (tinea pedis, tinea nails), viral diseases (warts, shingles), insect and parasitic diseases
• Papular scaly skin diseases - psoriasis, psoriasis psoriasis, lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, pityriasis erythroderma pilaris
• Skin vascular diseases - hemangioma, nevus flamingo, facial flushing, vasculitis, purpura
• Bullous skin diseases - pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid, acquired epidermolysis bullosa

Major Procedures

• Phototherapy - Used to treat various skin diseases including vitiligo, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and alopecia areata through ultraviolet ray therapy and excimer laser.
• Skin surgical surgery - Various birthmarks and benign or malignant tumors that occur on the skin are excised and restored using methods such as local flap surgery and skin grafting. Epidermal grafting for the treatment of vitiligo and liposuction for the treatment of bromhidrosis are being performed.
• Laser treatment - Various lasers such as CO2, Nd-YAG, Fraxel laser, and Ruby laser are used to treat various skin diseases such as pigmentary diseases, scars, and keloids, as well as skin aging such as skin wrinkles, elasticity improvement, and skin regeneration.
• Skin care - beauty treatments using chemical peels, botox injections, and fillers
• Intralesional injection - A treatment method that involves directly injecting steroid preparations into various dermatological lesions, including keloids.
• Cryotherapy - A destructive method used to treat various skin diseases, including warts and actinic keratosis, by rapidly freezing the skin using liquid nitrogen.

Major Investigations

• Skin biopsy - If it is difficult to determine with the naked eye, a part of the skin is removed and checked under a microscope.
• Immunohistochemical test - Performed when it is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis using conventional staining of tissue removed through skin biopsy, allowing for a more precise test.
• Fungal test - If candida or fungal infection is suspected, a test to check for infection by scraping off part of the dead skin, dropping KOH solution and observing under a microscope.
• Bacterial and skin parasite testing - To determine the cause of infectious skin diseases, smear tests and culture tests are performed.
• Patch test - To find the causative substances that cause skin allergies, it is a test to determine whether allergic reactions occur by directly contacting the patient's skin with substances suspected of causing skin allergies, including the most common causative substances and cosmetics. test
• Phototest - A method of testing hypersensitivity after intentionally exposing yourself to strong ultraviolet rays.
• Wood lamp test - By illuminating the lesion in a dark room with light through which only rays of 320 to 400 nm pass due to the wood lamp filter and checking the color change, it is possible to easily differentially diagnose diseases such as tinea capitis, tinea versicolor, erythroderma, and vitiligo.
• Tzank test - When it is difficult to determine whether a viral infection exists based on clinical features alone, a test is performed to determine whether a viral infection is obtained by scraping the bottom of the blister at the lesion site and examining it under a microscope.
