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.
Derm Summit is an annual scientific symposium organized by Diagnostiskt Centrum Hud. The meeting is aimed at those working in dermatology as well as future dermatologists. For the fifth time we present a solid program that includes different parts of the dermatological field.
We are very keen to pass on our knowledge and education in dermatology. We annually award two scholarships of SEK 25,000 each to young, promising dermatologists to enable further research and training at their clinics.
The training days will be held in Stockholm on 29-30 September 2023.
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.
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
