Patient information

General Dermatology Unit

Expert assessment of skin conditions and advanced dermatological diagnosis

The General Dermatology Unit at the Memorial Publio Cordón Hospital is a clinical department dedicated to the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes.

The unit addresses common and complex dermatological conditions, including chronic inflammatory processes, precancerous lesions and primary skin tumours without metastatic involvement, within a structured care model that combines expert medical judgement, advanced diagnostic technology and multidisciplinary hospital coordination.

Its approach is designed for patients requiring a specialist assessment of persistent lesions, recurrent flare-ups, suspected tumours or skin conditions that do not respond adequately to conventional treatments.

The unit provides a thorough and systematic dermatological assessment, aimed at establishing an accurate diagnosis and a well-founded treatment plan.

Specialist care in dermatological conditions

The unit routinely treats a wide range of skin conditions, always approaching each case from an individualised perspective.

Among the most common clinical conditions are:

  • Acne and rosacea

  • Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis

  • Alopecia and hair disorders

  • Warts and persistent viral lesions

  • Fungal skin infections

  • Pigmentation disorders

  • Precancerous skin lesions

  • Primary skin tumours without metastasis

  • Dermatological manifestations associated with systemic diseases

Each case is assessed by considering the patient’s medical history, the course of the disease, associated factors and the various treatment options available.

Decision-making is based on sound clinical criteria and up-to-date scientific evidence.

Accurate assessment of the skin lesion Not all visible skin lesions have the same clinical significance. An expert examination makes it possible to distinguish between benign conditions and those requiring monitoring or specific treatment.

Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning

The assessment begins with a specialist dermatology consultation, during which a comprehensive and targeted examination is carried out.

Where necessary, high-precision diagnostic tools such as digital dermatoscopy, Wood’s light, microbiological tests and skin biopsies are used.

This approach allows us to refine the diagnosis and avoid unnecessary interventions.

The treatment plan is established following a comprehensive analysis of the case, assessing risks, benefits and reasonable expectations of response.

Where required, the unit works in coordination with other hospital departments to ensure a multidisciplinary approach.

Advanced treatments tailored to individual needs

The therapeutic approach includes state-of-the-art topical and systemic therapies, tailored to the severity and characteristics of each condition.

The options available include biologics, immunotherapy, immunoglobulins and immunomodulatory treatments for chronic inflammatory diseases.

The unit also carries out specific procedures such as intralesional corticosteroid injections, botulinum toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis, or the application of bleomycin to resistant warts, in coordination with the Day Hospital when the patient’s management requires it.

Each intervention is indicated exclusively where there is a reasonable clinical benefit and an appropriate risk-benefit ratio.

Monitoring the progression of chronic dermatological conditions In the case of chronic or recurrent conditions, regular monitoring enables treatment to be adjusted and potential relapses to be anticipated in a planned manner.

A specialist team and a coordinated care model

The medical team comprises dermatologists with extensive experience in complex skin conditions who keep up to date with emerging treatments.

Clinical practice is underpinned by structured protocols, case discussions where necessary, and coordination with the relevant medical and surgical specialities.

The care model at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital prioritises the time devoted to clinical information, the clear explanation of treatment options and supporting the patient throughout all stages of the diagnostic and treatment process.

This approach combines scientific rigour, personalised planning and clinical compassion – essential elements for delivering advanced, safe dermatological care based on evidence-informed medical decisions.

Specialist dermatological assessment

A specialist assessment enables a diagnosis to be made or confirmed and the most appropriate treatment strategy to be determined. It provides clarity and facilitates medical planning that is consistent with the clinical situation.
