Skin Diseases

Skin diseases are often accompanied by itching or pain, which can be physically painful and make it difficult to continue social life because they occur in exposed areas.

Because skin diseases can occur one at a time or in combination, it is important for an experienced dermatologist to carefully assess and treat the patient’s skin condition.

Not only the skin, but also the mind can be treated.

‘Geudae Goun’ Dermatology Clinic meticulously analyzes skin conditions using advanced equipment for accurate diagnosis.

Vitiligo is a chronic intractable skin disease characterized by the appearance of white spots of various shapes and sizes due to the loss of melanin pigment in the skin.

Because the cause, treatment results, and prognosis vary depending on the type, the treatment goal is different for each patient, and systematic treatment and consistent management are required.

We provide systematic treatment tailored to each individual using NBUVB, excimer laser, medication, and surgery (micro-punch grafting).

Onychomycosis refers to a superficial infection of the skin caused by a fungus called dermatophyte.

We provide treatment tailored to each individual, considering the location, shape, extent, and duration of the lesion, using Lunula laser, which treats with two wavelengths (635nm, 405nm) approved by the US FDA, laser that uses a 1064nm wavelength to destroy fungi deep in the skin beyond the nails, topical treatments, and oral medication.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease accompanied by itching that occurs as a result of complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors.

It usually begins in infancy and shows various natural courses. It is important to accurately diagnose and select the appropriate treatment at the early stage of the disease.

Atopic dermatitis can also improve with treatment.

Psoriasis is a polygenic immune inflammatory disease characterized by skin inflammation and epidermal proliferation, with erythematous papules and plaques accompanied by silvery scales being typical skin findings.

Recently, various research results have been reported that it is a systemic disease accompanied by inflammation in the cardiovascular system and other organs, and it is recommended to treat it together, considering the association with systemic diseases.

Corn

A corn is a disease in which the skin of the hands and feet is continuously subjected to mechanical stimulation, forming a cone-shaped hyperkeratotic central core inside the skin, causing pain or inflammation.

It is important to remove the physical pressure that causes it, and cryotherapy and laser treatment are used. Surgical removal can be considered in cases that are resistant to all conservative treatments.

Warts

Warts are a viral disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which causes excessive proliferation of the epidermis.

The choice of treatment may vary depending on the location, size, number of warts, presence of secondary bacterial infection, age, and immune status. We perform cryotherapy, laser treatment, intralesional drug injection, surgical excision, and electrocautery.

Herpes zoster is a skin disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, characterized by the appearance of blisters in a band shape and accompanied by pain

The varicella-zoster virus remains dormant in the ganglia of people who have had chickenpox or have been vaccinated against chickenpox, and reactivates when immunity is weakened.

The goals of treatment are to suppress pain, suppress the spread of the virus and secondary bacterial infection, and prevent and minimize complications such as postherpetic neuralgia.

Burns are caused by the application of heat to the body. The depth and extent of the burn are determined by the intensity of the heat applied, the duration of contact, and the thermal conductivity of the biological tissue in contact.

Because there is a high risk of infection and scars may remain after treatment, it is recommended to receive early treatment.
