Who should get a dermatological consultation?

A dermatological visit is indicated for those who wish to monitor skin health, prevent and treat skin conditions, check suspicious moles and spots, treat acne, rosacea, dermatitis or psoriasis, address hair loss problems, and improve skin appearance with anti-aging treatments.

How often should one get a dermatological check-up?

It's recommended to have a dermatological visit at least once a year for prevention and mole monitoring. In case of specific issues (acne, dermatitis, hair loss), the dermatologist will evaluate the most suitable frequency.

When is it important to check a mole or other signs of a skin problem?

It's essential to check a mole if it shows changes in shape, color, size, or borders, if it causes itching, bleeds spontaneously, or shows unusual evolution. Similarly, other skin signs such as spots that change appearance, persistent redness, scaling, excessive hair loss, fragile or altered nails may indicate dermatological issues requiring specialist examination. In all these cases, it's advised to promptly consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.

Is the dermatological visit covered by insurance?

It depends on your insurance policy. We recommend checking with your insurance company if specialist dermatological visits are included in the coverage.

Dermatological Visit: Why It's Important for Skin Health

A dermatological visit is fundamental for the prevention and care of skin, hair, and nails. Regularly monitoring moles, spots, and skin abnormalities allows identifying potential problems before they become serious. Trusting a specialist helps protect skin from premature aging and common dermatological diseases.

Self-check: the ABCDE rule and the “ugly duckling” sign

Learn to recognise the early warning signs:

A – Asymmetry: one half of the mole does not match the other.

B – Borders: irregular, blurred or uneven edges.

C – Colour: uneven pigmentation with multiple shades (brown, black, red, blue).

D – Diameter: larger than 6 mm or showing recent growth.

E – Evolution: any change in shape, colour or thickness.

Care of Skin, Hair, and Nails

Acne, rosacea, dermatitis, psoriasis, and other skin conditions can affect appearance and general well-being. A dermatological visit helps treat skin problems with personalized therapies, improving quality of life. Hair and nail health is also important: hair loss or nail abnormalities can be symptoms of imbalances or nutritional deficiencies.
