About the department
The Department of Dermatology and Allergology at the Nuremberg Hospital offers the full range of medical services in the fields of its competence and specializes in the treatment of skin diseases. The treatment of skin cancer and skin allergies is a priority in the department's clinical practice. The dermatologists at the medical facility successfully treat inflammatory and infectious skin diseases as well as chronic non-healing wounds. The department has three state-of-the-art operating rooms where over 2,500 surgical interventions are performed every year. A significant number of surgical interventions are performed to treat basalioma, squamous cell skin cancer, and melanoma. When planning surgery, the department's specialists strive to achieve a good therapeutic result while considering an aesthetic aspect. The department also has advanced laser systems and photodynamic therapy devices. The health of patients is in the safe hands of a large medical team, consisting of 19 highly specialized doctors and over 40 nursing staff members. The department admits more than 11,000 patients annually, with about 8,000 of these patients receiving medical care on an outpatient basis. All medical services comply with the requirements of professional medical associations and the standards of modern medicine. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Erwin Schultz.
The department has the status of being one of the best German medical facilities specializing in skin cancer treatment. Malignant skin tumors are treated at a specialized center certified according to the requirements of the German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe). All resources are available here for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of basaliomas, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanomas. If skin cancer is confirmed during the preliminary screening, the patient's case is considered during an interdisciplinary tumor board, after which an optimal treatment regimen is elaborated. The main treatment for skin tumors is their removal. Depending on the size of the tumor and the stage of the oncological process, the department's dermatologists may perform surgical tumor excision, electroexcision, laser destruction, or cryotherapy. Photodynamic therapy and laser procedures using a modern CO2 Fraxel device are successfully used in the department to remove superficial skin neoplasms and treat precancerous lesions. The department's dermatologists strive to achieve a satisfactory aesthetic result, so tumor removal surgery may be complemented by reconstructive surgery whenever required.
The department's team of dermatologists is highly professional in the treatment of chronic inflammatory skin diseases, the most common of which are neurodermatitis (atopic dermatitis) and psoriasis. In cases of mild forms of these diseases, the department's doctors prescribe anti-inflammatory ointments and creams for daily skin care. The second-line treatment involves the impact of ultraviolet radiation on the affected skin areas using special lamps. The intake of pills aimed at systemic suppression of the inflammatory process in the body is indicated for patients with a complex course of chronic inflammatory dermatosis.
Patients with infectious skin diseases can receive medical care in the medical facility. The department's doctors treat bacterial skin infections (rosacea, impetigo contagiosa, and Lyme disease), viral infections (herpes zoster and varicella), fungal skin infections, sexually transmitted infections, and tropical infections. Successful treatment of the above-mentioned diseases largely depends on precise microbiological diagnostics, for which the department has the necessary laboratory facilities. The department's doctors use topical ointments and creams, as well as various groups of drugs, to treat infectious skin lesions.
Allergology occupies an important place in the department's clinical practice as well. Allergies are treated in close cooperation with the Nuremberg Interdisciplinary Allergy Center (NIZA). The team of the department's doctors treats allergies to drugs and insect venom, food intolerances, contact dermatitis, hay fever, and occupational allergies. The department's specialists have a wide range of possibilities for detecting allergic reactions, including epicutaneous and intracutaneous tests, prick tests, photopatch tests, provocation tests, etc. The main method of allergy treatment in the department is allergen-specific immunotherapy (hyposensitization), which aims at reducing the immune response to the substances that cause the allergy.
