Our clinics
Apoteket Hjärtat and Apoteket AB stop advanced skin care for teenagers. The decision is welcomed by dermatologists and specialists who see an increasing number of injuries.
- "It's common to exfoliate the skin a lot to get a glow," says dermatologist Petra Kjellman.
Acne affects both children and adults and can cause great suffering. Despite this, many people are reluctant to seek help for their problems - which can make the inflammation worse.
- "I think you can definitely try self-care, but if you can't overcome it, you should get help from a doctor," says Petra Verga Kjellman, dermatologist, in Nyhetsmorgon.
Pigmentation is one of our most common skin problems. But it can be both avoided and eliminated. Our specialist Cristina Oprica gives tips in Aftonbladet on how to prevent and treat pigmentation spots.
Did you know that psoriasis can appear at any time of life? Our experienced operations manager and skin specialist Petra Verga Kjellman teaches us more about the skin disease in a recent article in Expressen Hälsoliv.
The Christmas and New Year holidays are just around the corner and we would like to send you a Christmas greeting from us at Diagnostiskt Centrum Hud!
Since 2016, we at Diagnostiskt Centrum Hud are involved in Girls Education Program Sweden Malawi (GEPSM), a small non-profit organization in Sweden and Norway that since 2013 works to support girls from the most vulnerable areas in Malawi and give them an opportunity to get the best quality education. Over the years, we at Diagnostiskt Centrum Hud have managed to break the pattern for a number of girls, had staff on site and built a well in the village. The girls who have come furthest have recently completed secondary education - the key to an independent life. It's great to be able to follow the girls' progress and personal development. In addition to education, GEPSM provides clothing, school uniforms, community activities and transport. During the pandemic, GEPSM has ensured that the girls have received extra support and remedial education as they have been sent home to their villages at times.
This year, as in previous years, Diagnostiskt Centrum Hud is donating money to GEPSM. The money will be used in full for the girls' education. This year we are needed more than ever as costs in Malawi have risen significantly.
With this greeting, we wish that more people get involved and contribute with us so that GEPSM's intention to provide girls with education, the best of opportunities to earn a living and become role models for their fellow sisters and daughters, can be fulfilled.15 000 SEK will provide a girl's school education for one year in Malawi. A first step to break the pattern and give the girls a dignified life. Please also follow the girls on Facebook, The Dowa Girls

Listen to skin specialist Petra Kjellman on News Morning 2022-05-24 on how to relieve your Rosacea and Perioral Dermatitis.
The incidence of Rosacea is increasing and the condition is more common in women than in men. In the most common form, papulopustuless rosacea, acne-like rashes are often found on the nose and cheeks, but can also appear on the forehead and chin. Sometimes a number of ruptured blood vessels (telangiektasias) appear on the nose and cheeks. Another variant, erythematous rosacea, gives a more widespread, almost constant redness of the face. The cause is a genetic propensity but different factors play a role in triggering or worsening rosacea. The most common factors are sun, stress, alcohol and heat, amongst others that cause the vessels on the face to widen and the skin to turn red.
In the condition perioral dermatitis, related to rosacea, there are small rashes around the chin and mouth, which often itch or sting. These are also sometimes on the nostrils or around the eyes. This condition is strongly linked to stress but even excessive facial care can also lead to imbalance and perioral dermatitis.
We have a great track record of treating rosacea and perioral dermatitis with both local treatment (creams) and various forms of tablets, and the treatments are adapted individually.
