Our qualified specialists will help you to cope with many skin pathologies and infections of the genital system. Most importantly, don't put off going to the doctor.

When is Needed the Consultation of the Dermatovenerologist?

A dermatovenerologist is a doctor who diagnoses, treats and prevents skin diseases and sexually transmitted infections through unprotected contact.

If dermatological diseases or STIs are suspected, he/she should be consulted. An urgent need for an examination by a dermatovenerologist occurs after having sex with an unknown partner without using a barrier contraceptive. This is to prevent STI infections. A dermato-venereological examination may also be necessary to obtain a health certificate.

Making an appointment to see a dermatovenerologist at CBS ensures that you receive expert care, a precise diagnosis and treatment according to the latest evidence-based protocols.

It is important to remember that the embarrassment many people feel about STD or STIs should not be a reason for putting off going to the doctor. When you see the dermatovenerologists at CBS, you will not feel embarrassed and you will be able to start timely treatment that will help you get rid of the pathology in a short time and minimise the risk of complications. Our doctors are very tactful and understanding when dealing with patients. All medical information is confidential.

Diagnostic Methods in Dermatovenereology

During the initial examination, the specialist carefully examines the patient's history and complaints, examines the skin or genitals and asks follow-up questions. Depending on the clinical case, techniques such as dermatoscopy (or dermatoscopy) are used to confirm a preliminary diagnosis in dermatovenerology:

• Dermatoscopy (or fluorescent microscopy).
  It is a safe and painless procedure that is performed with a special device called a dermatoscope. The device enables one to examine the skin under multiple magnifications with polarized or unpolarized light.
• Laboratory examination.
  The following tests are carried out: microscopy of scrapes, blood serum tests for total IgE levels, intra- and epicutaneous skin tests in allergies, immunogram, general blood tests, stool and urine tests, biochemical blood tests, urethral, vaginal and/or cervical smears, virology, bacteriology, mycology, serology in dermatological diseases, blood tests for syphilis and HIV.
• Cytology.
  Performed to study morphological abnormalities in cells in various neoplasms or non-tumoural lesions.
• Histological examination.
  Carried out in tumour processes to assess the extent and stage of pathology.
• Angiography for vascular disorders.
  Appointed in hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, pyogenic granulomas, flaming nevi.
• Biopsy.
  Necessary to obtain samples of pathologically changed tissues of non-tumoural and tumour formations. Special needles are used to reduce the trauma of the procedure.

In some cases, skin symptoms indicate the presence of pathologies of other organs and systems. In such cases, treatment by a dermatovenerologist is supplemented by appointments with an endocrinologist, oncologist, gynaecologist, urologist, allergist, surgeon, gastroenterologist, haematologist or another specialist (as indicated).

Treatment Methods in Dermatovenereology

The treatment tactics for dermatovenereological diseases are determined by the specific features of the clinical case. The patient may be recommended a course of drug therapy, laser therapy, physiotherapy, dressings, an individual skincare regime and a special diet. If necessary, control tests are carried out to assess the quality of treatment and the results help the dermatologist-venereologist to make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan or to monitor the cure of infectious diseases.
