Dermatology Center

Dermatology is one of the priority areas of the EMC clinic. Our specialists have been receiving adults and children since the first days of life. Dermatologists from the EMC Department of Dermatovenerology in Moscow have achieved great success in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases of various origins: atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, chronic itching and many others. We employ highly qualified specialists who use advanced treatment methods approved by leading Russian and international medical organizations.

Areas of dermatology

General dermatology treats the following pathologies:

1. Skin diseases. Skin pathologies such as eczema, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea are most common. You may also need to consult a dermatologist for acne and post-acne, parasitic, bacterial, viral, and fungal lesions, rheumatological diseases, and connective tissue pathologies. Skin diseases are clearly visible to others, so they are often accompanied by psychological discomfort, impaired social functions, and the development of secondary mental pathology. Timely treatment by a qualified doctor will reduce the severity of symptoms and improve the quality of life.

2. Hair diseases. Trichology is a section of dermatology devoted to the study of hair and scalp pathologies. Modern diagnostic methods, including trichoscopy, make it possible to accurately determine the cause of hair loss: hormonal disorders, lack of vitamins or minerals, seborrheic or allergic dermatitis, fungal infection, psoriasis, etc. The latest techniques are used for treatment. If conservative treatment does not work, a hair transplant service is available at the EMC clinic.

3. Nail diseases. Pathology of the nail plates is noted in every fifth patient. Deformity of the nail plate can develop in response to injury or damage, lack of vitamins and minerals. Sometimes it is a symptom of a fungal lesion, or serious systemic diseases that require special treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of nail and foot skin pathologies at the EMC clinic is carried out by podiatrists with special specialization. Consultation with a dermatologist is indicated for any changes in the nail plates, especially in children, because in the absence of timely treatment, the consequences of pathology can persist for life.

Special areas of the EMC Dermatology Clinic include:

1. Dermatological surgery. Dermatological surgeons remove molluscum contagiosum, warts, papillomas, keratomas and other benign neoplasms by surgical or minimally invasive methods (using laser, electroexcision, cryodestruction). Removal of all types of neoplasms can be performed under local anesthesia.

2. Dermatooncology. The goal of a dermatologist-oncologist is to prevent and detect malignant skin pathologies. The diagnosis at the EMC Dermatology Center is carried out by non-invasive and invasive methods. Modern intelligent mole monitoring technology FotoFinder is used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. Invasive diagnostics and histological analysis are performed in our own laboratory. Removal of potentially dangerous moles is performed by an experienced surgeon according to the most modern international protocols under local anesthesia. Oncologists are involved in treatment if necessary, and complex cases are considered at medical consultations.

3. Mycology. The mycologists of the EMC clinic deal with fungal lesions of the skin, mucous membranes, hair and nails. To prescribe treatment and select the most effective drug, a microscopic examination is performed to determine the type of fungus.

4. Venereology. The focus of this section of dermatology is on sexually transmitted pathogenic microflora (syphilis, HPV, mycoplasmosis, chlamydia, gardnerellosis, gonorrhea, ureaplasmosis, herpes, trichomoniasis, HIV, and many others). Unfortunately, for many of these infections, a household contact method of transmission is also possible, so children are not protected from infection either. At the EMC clinic, work with diseases of this group is carried out with full respect for confidentiality and medical secrecy. We successfully identify the most complex pathologies, including HIV or the congenital form of syphilitic infection, and establish the degree of oncogenicity of the HPV virus.

5. Pediatric dermatology. The specifics of the work of a dermatologist working with young patients are related to the peculiarities of the child's skin: the skin of children is much more vulnerable and reacts to almost any pathologies that occur in the body. For high-quality treatment, it is necessary to correctly diagnose and select an individual treatment regimen with drugs suitable for sensitive children's skin. All doctors of our clinic have the appropriate certification and extensive experience working with children.

6. Aesthetic dermapigmentation. The range of applications ranges from masking scars and vitiligo spots to artistic imitation of the nipple areola after mastectomy. Dermapigmentation is considered one of the least traumatic methods of long-term concealment. The master injects the coloring agent with a special device equipped with a very thin sterile needle. It is programmed to introduce camouflage pigment to a well-defined depth, which helps to minimize the degree of injury and avoid unwanted complications. Dermapigmentation is an effective procedure that allows you to quickly and safely get rid of aesthetic defects. It literally merges with healthy skin and becomes almost invisible.
