What is a dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical specialist who focuses on diagnosing, treating and preventing disorders of the skin, hair, nails and adjacent mucous membranes. Our dermatologists are experts in addressing various medical skin problems and are ready to help you with complaints such as:

• Chronic conditions such as eczema and psoriasis
• Suspicious or changing birthmarks
• Treatment and control of skin cancer
• Infections, allergies and other skin-related problems

At Medisch Centrum Wetering, you will always be seen by an experienced dermatologist who will take the time to thoroughly examine and treat your complaints.

Why consult a dermatologist?

Engaging a dermatologist is important when:

• Persistent skin problems that do not respond to regular treatments, such as acne
• Suspicious spots or changes to the skin, such as birthmarks that change shape or colour
• Chronic or recurrent skin conditions such as eczema, requiring specialist care
• Screening for skin cancer, especially if you have risk factors such as frequent sun exposure

Dermatologists are also trained in performing diagnostic tests, such as biopsies and allergy tests, to determine the exact cause of your symptoms.

Check by dermatologist

If you are not sure about whether you have a dermatologic issue or you would like some advice on your situation, you can let one of our dermatologists check you. We will take a look at your condition and we can establish what is going on. From here, if needed, we can set up treatment.
