Dermatologische

Dermatologische is a German adjective derived from Dermatologie, the branch of medicine that focuses on the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. In German-language medical literature and clinical practice, it is used to describe diseases, procedures, and topics associated with dermatology, such as dermatologische Erkrankungen, dermatologische Therapien, and dermatologische Untersuchungen. In English, the equivalent terms are dermatologic or dermatological.

Scope and common conditions: Dermatology encompasses a wide range of conditions from benign to malignant. Common dermatologische disorders include acne vulgaris, atopic dermatitis (eczema), contact dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, urticaria, fungal infections, and skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and melanoma. Diagnostic approaches include clinical examination, dermoscopy, skin biopsy, patch testing for allergies, and laboratory studies. Treatments range from topical therapies (corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, retinoids) to systemic medications (antibiotics, immunomodulators, biologics) and procedures such as excisions, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and phototherapy.

Education and practice: Dermatology is a medical specialty requiring medical degree followed by residency or training in dermatology. Specialists may also subspecialize in areas such as dermatopathology, pediatric dermatology, Mohs surgery, or cosmetic dermatology. Research in dermatologie covers pathophysiology, imaging, and novel therapies; patient care emphasizes lifelong management of chronic conditions and prevention of skin cancer through education and screening.
