About the department
The Department of Dermatology and Allergology at the Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch provides all diagnostic tests and therapeutic measures for the treatment of skin diseases and allergic reactions. The priority area of the department's work is the treatment of malignant skin neoplasms (certification as a Skin Cancer Center of the German Cancer Society). Each patient receives an individual treatment regimen for skin pathology or allergies, which includes the most effective and sparing therapeutic methods. The department is headed by Dr. med. Kerstin Lommel.
In the field of dermatological oncology, the main focus is on the treatment of spinaloma, basal cell carcinoma and melanoma. The first stage of the diagnostics is staging of the disease. When examining for melanoma, a doctor performs a sentinel lymph node biopsy, which allows for the elimination of the spread of tumor cells (metastasis) into the lymph nodes. In many cases, lymph node ultrasound scanning can be performed as well. As a rule, the tumor is removed surgically. If necessary, subsequent reconstructive procedures (flap surgery, skin grafts from other parts of the patient’s body, etc.) will be performed. As an addition to surgical treatment, there can be used techniques, such as electrochemotherapy, extracorporeal photopheresis, systemic drug therapy, cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy and others. The patients are also provided with psycho-oncological support.
The competence of the department’s doctors includes the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory skin diseases. The treatment plan is also developed individually, taking into account the specific clinical indications of the patient. The most common diagnoses in this area include atopic eczema and psoriasis.
The specialists in the field of allergology are responsible for the prevention, diagnostics and treatment of various types of allergies. In the process of diagnosing allergic reactions, prick tests, intracutaneous, epicutaneous and provocative tests can be carried out. The treatment is mostly based on hyposensitization and drug therapy.
