WE CAN HELP YOU

DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS?

Moles, warts and skin formations

Problems with moles, such as pigment nevus, warts, haemangiomas and skin formations, are associated with unusual changes on the skin. Moles, small dark or brown spots, should be monitored as some can be potentially dangerous, especially if they change in colour, shape or growth. Especially after their removal, they must be sent for histology to rule out melanoma. Warts are uncomfortable and can appear on the hands, feet and face. There are various methods to treat warts. Skin formations, such as lipomas, fibromas, and keratoses, are usually harmless but may be unaesthetic or uncomfortable.

Chronic – non-healing wounds

A chronic wound is a wound that does not heal for more than 6 weeks, when the normal repair healing process is disturbed and the acute wound becomes a chronic wound. Chronic wounds include ulcus cruris (leg ulcer), pressure ulcer, and diabetic foot. The cause may be an infection of the primary wound on the shin, plus associated diseases or the underlying condition of the patient. A chronic wound heals in 3 phases and requires a complex approach to treatment and, most importantly, diagnosis and treatment of the underlying disease.

Leg ulcers – ulcus cruris

Leg ulcers, or ulcus cruris, are actually chronic skin wounds localised to the lower leg. The causes are various. • vascular cause: arterial ulcus and venous ulcus cruris in reflux • neuropathic cause in polyneuropathy • diabetic foot is a complex of changes on the skin of the feet starting from the toes, where there are so-called pressure ulcers, when the blood vessels are damaged by diabetes – microangiopathy. Patients often do not feel these changes because they also have polyneuropathy, i.e. nerve damage • infectious ulcers, e.g. in erysipelas • chronic wounds after injuries Treatment of leg ulcers depends on their cause and may include antibiotics, surgical interventions to remove dead tissue, compression bandages and other therapeutic measures and, above all, always treatment the underlying disease. In ulcus cruris, a vascular examination with Doppler ultrasound should be done first. For more information, read our blog.

Ingrown toenails and nail beds

Onychocryptosis, or ingrown toenail, is a painful process, often on the big toe, caused by improper trimming, tight shoes, hereditary factors or nail fungal infection. Treatment includes surgical treatment and an emphasis on prevention, proper trimming and shaping of the nails. In the case of ingrown toenails, it is important to rule out fungal infection, psoriasis and possible cancers. Problems with nail beds, such as inflammation, bleeding and blisters, require individual treatment depending on the cause and severity, often with topical care, medication or surgery.

Tendons – a trigger finger

A trigger finger, or pollux saltans, is a problem with the tendon in the hand that can cause painful finger movements. In this condition, the tendon that allows the fingers to bend and straighten becomes strained or inflamed. This results in the finger being able to get stuck in a bent or straightened position, accompanied by characteristic "trigger" movements when trying to move. A trigger finger can be caused by a variety of factors, including repetitive stress on the tendon, inflammation, or tendon-related diseases. Treatment may include rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications or, in some cases, surgery to release tension in the tendon.

Gynaecomastia

Gynaecomastia is a condition characterised by excessive enlargement of the male breasts. This problem can be caused by an imbalance of hormones, especially an excessive amount of oestrogen in the body relative to testosterone. Gynaecomastia can occur in men in different age groups and can be temporary or permanent. In addition to hormonal changes, it can also be the result of taking certain medications, obesity, genetic factors or other health problems. Treatment depends on the cause and severity of gynaecomastia and may include monitoring, lifestyle modifications, medication or surgery, such as liposuction or removal of excess tissue.

Lipomas , atheromas , gangliomas – skin tumours

Non-malignant formations, such as lipomas, atheromas and gangliomas, occur in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. These formations are removed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia and are sent for histology, if needed.

Dupytren's contracture

Dupuytren's contracture is common in men around the age of 50. It is a chronic hand disease characterised by the formation of knots and bands of tissue in the palm and on the fingers, leading to permanent bending of the fingers. It is divided into different types according to joint involvement and clinical course. The causes of the disease are not fully known, but it appears to have a hereditary predisposition. Treatment is often surgical under local anaesthesia by removing the fibrous bands.
