Dermatology Consultation & Dermatoscopy

A consultation with the clinic's dermatologist for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the skin, hair and nails, including a dermatoscopic mole check using magnified imaging. At Gabinety Tuwima both are offered for adults and children. It is the recommended starting point for any skin concern, a changing mole, or before cosmetic skin procedures such as laser lesion removal.

A dermatology consultation at Gabinety Tuwima is an appointment with the clinic's dermatologist, lek. Iwona Hardukiewicz-Felska, for the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails, as well as sexually transmitted infections. The doctor takes a history, examines the relevant areas and explains the diagnosis and the options, which may include topical or oral treatment, an in-clinic procedure, or referral for further investigation. The clinic also offers dermatoscopy — a skin and mole examination using a dermatoscope, which magnifies and illuminates a lesion so its structure can be assessed far more closely than with the naked eye. This is particularly valuable for evaluating moles and pigmented spots and for monitoring any that are new or changing, and is available for both adults and children. A dermatoscopic check is sensible before cosmetic removal of any skin lesion, so that anything suspicious is properly evaluated rather than simply removed. Either appointment is a useful first step for persistent rashes, acne, hair or nail problems, troublesome or changing moles, or for anyone wanting a professional skin review. Where a procedure or prescription is appropriate, the dermatologist will explain it; where watchful monitoring or referral is the safer course, that is advised instead.
