Make an appointment without a referral

At Diagnostiskt Centrum Hud you will meet a licensed specialist in dermatology with several years of experience. The consultation lasts about 20 minutes and begins with a review of your symptoms and medical history (anamnesis).

The doctor will then carry out an examination of the skin lesion or other problem and recommend the type of procedure/treatment. Some procedures can be carried out immediately after the consultation, but usually a new appointment is booked for the procedure. The choice of treatment depends on the type of skin change, where on the body the skin change is located and your own wishes.

A doctor's visit includes a prescription and clinical examination, which are needed to diagnose the problems. Additional procedures/treatments/tests will incur additional costs. It is advisable to check your skin changes once a year.

You can turn to Diagnostiskt Centrum Hud with all types of skin problems, no matter how big or small your problem is.

We can both investigate and treat problems such as:

• • Psoriasis
  • Acne
  • Rosacea
  • Suspected tumors
  • Eczema

  • Skin rash
  • scars
  • Skin changes

  
  

  (Please note that we do not treat venereal diseases in our clinics)

If a mole changes color, shape or grows, you should check it out. Similarly, if a new mole appears that does not look like the others you have. If it turns out to be skin cancer, it is important to have the change removed as soon as possible, then you have a very good chance of being completely healthy. At our prick clinic, we offer quick appointments for assessment and, if necessary, we can operate to remove the change.

Fortunately, it usually turns out that the changes you are looking for are benign, some people still want to remove them because they think they are disfiguring or impractical. We offer the removal of benign changes and are committed to a nice cosmetic result. See "treatment of disfiguring lesions".

General price control, without any particular change or growth, is also offered.

Assessment of all skin changes and examinations with a dermatoscope are included in the visit, but there are additional costs for any procedures. Most procedures can be done during the visit, except for major facial surgery.

For the removal of disfiguring lesions, see the section on Disfiguring lesions for more information.

Sometimes it is difficult to know if the red rashes on your face are acne or rosacea or perioral dermatitis. Our knowledgeable specialists can clarify this and give you a diagnosis, which is a prerequisite for proper and effective treatment.

For mild to moderate acne , the basis is local treatment with some form of cream or gel, many people find that it dries out the skin and that the skin becomes red. Unfortunately, all effective acne treatments are drying for the first few weeks, but this usually subsides after 3-4 weeks. These problems can be reduced by applying the cream every two to three days at first and gradually increasing the frequency. If this is not enough, tetralysal is often given in addition to the topical treatment. Tetralysal is taken for 3 months and helps if you have a red inflammatory rash. If you only have bumps/blackheads, tetralysal has no effect, then a dermatologist may be the best option. If the acne is very severe, or if it does not improve with topical treatment and tetralysal, isotretinoin is given. Isotretinoin cures virtually all acne but has some side effects and you have to follow blood tests.

In rosacea and perioral dermatitis with mild symptoms, local treatment is also given in the first instance, but with slightly different varieties than for acne. If the symptoms are pronounced or do not go away on local treatment, tetralysal can also be given here, tetralysal has an anti-inflammatory effect. Low-dose doxycycline may also be an option. In the case of stubborn or recurrent symptoms, low-dose isotretinoin can be tried. Unfortunately, if the main symptom of rosacea is facial redness, none of the above treatments are particularly helpful, so laser or IPL is needed.

Eczema is common, as is psoriasis. In mild cases, it can be difficult for the untrained eye to distinguish between the two conditions. Our experienced specialists can help make a diagnosis. The diagnosis is usually made by looking at the appearance and extent of the rash and by you, the patient, telling us how the rash usually behaves. Sometimes a tissue sample may need to be taken, but this is mostly to rule out any other diagnosis. Blood tests are rarely of any diagnostic value.

For both eczema and psoriasis, cortisone creams of various kinds are usually part of the treatment, but we know that lifestyle can also have an impact, so the whole picture needs to be considered. We can also refer you for phototherapy if necessary, and if you have severe, stubborn symptoms, our specialists have extensive experience of treatment with immunomodulatory systemic drugs (including biological drugs).

Sometimes you get a skin rash that you don't know what it is despite trying to find out, maybe googling it. It could be a variant of a common condition, as it doesn't always look "typical". Or it could be something more unusual that makes neither you nor your GP recognize the rash? Our specialists have seen many skin diseases and types of rashes over the years and are likely to be able to give you a diagnosis and treatment. Sometimes tissue samples may need to be taken to make a definite diagnosis.

There are many different types of skin changes that are completely harmless but can be perceived as disturbing, such as seborrheic keratoses, skin tags, benign bulging moles, connective tissue nodules (dermatofibroma) and others, and since these are harmless, they are not treated in publicly funded care.

We offer removal of benign changes with the best possible cosmetic results. There are different treatment methods for different lesions. Here are some examples of the most common procedures: Smaller skin changes that bulge up from the skin plane can be advantageously "planed" away (also called plane excision or "shave"), it leaves at most a small discreet mark where the change has been stuck in the skin, sometimes nothing.

Larger lesions may need to be surgically removed and stitched together, leaving the scar more like a straight line. Seborrheic keratoses/age warts are scraped off and rarely come back. Skin tags are advantageously cut away, then at the right level, so that they neither come back nor become scars.
 

Warts are common and treatment is mainly self-care. Sometimes it is difficult to remove warts despite careful self-care and we can help with treatment. Warts are not treated in publicly funded specialist health care. For wart treatment, our nurses help with bathing, filing and applying a stronger wart remedy than you can buy yourself. It often requires 5 treatments, sometimes more. Up to 5 warts can be treated at a time. Consultation with a doctor is required before treatment, to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment is then carried out by a nurse.
