Dermatology is the clinical department for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. The skin is the largest organ of the human body, directly exposed to the external environment; allergies, infections, immune abnormalities and endocrine changes can all cause skin problems. Skin diseases are numerous in type with complex manifestations; the department emphasizes precise diagnosis, standardized treatment and skin health management. Scope of Services and Common Conditions The department's main clinical scope includes: allergic skin diseases such as eczema, dermatitis and urticaria; acne and rosacea; psoriasis and vitiligo; fungal infections (tinea of the hands and feet, tinea corporis), viral infections (herpes zoster, common warts) and bacterial infections (folliculitis); seborrheic dermatitis and hair loss; and screening of skin tumors. For symptoms including rashes, itching, scaling, blisters, pigmentary abnormalities and skin masses, the department provides systematic diagnosis and treatment. Specialized Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques Dermatology routinely performs dermoscopy, which allows non-invasive observation of the microscopic structure of skin lesions, improving the diagnostic accuracy of pigmented skin diseases and skin tumors. The department performs allergen testing, fungal microscopy and skin pathology biopsy to identify the cause. Treatment options include topical medications, systemic medications, phototherapy (narrowband UVB) and laser treatment, with long-term standardized management of chronic skin diseases such as acne and psoriasis. Who Should Visit and Clinic Guide Individuals with rashes, itching, hair loss, pigmentary changes or skin masses may visit Dermatology. When visiting, avoid self-applying hormonal ointments that mask skin lesions, and try to keep the lesions in their original state so the physician can make an accurate judgment. Patients with chronic skin diseases should take medication regularly as prescribed, pay attention to moisturizing and sun protection, and reduce recurrence. Clinic Notes Seek timely medical care when rashes are accompanied by fever or systemic symptoms, or when skin masses enlarge markedly, ulcerate or change color in a short period. Herpes zoster should receive early standardized antiviral treatment to effectively reduce postherpetic neuralgia. Avoid scratching when itching is significant to prevent secondary infection.
