About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Dermatology, Allergology and Phlebology at the University Hospital of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich offers all the options of modern medicine for diagnosing and treating skin diseases, allergies, and venereal pathologies. The focus of the department's dermatologists is on patients with various types of skin cancer, psoriasis, eczema, neurodermatitis, acne, venous diseases, and chronic non-healing leg ulcers. The medical facility also admits young patients, including those with rare and genetic skin diseases. The department has an excellent technical base, thanks to which modern laser treatment, light therapy, phototherapy, and advanced sparing surgical interventions are successfully performed here. Top-class medical care is provided by a highly professional team of 60 specialized doctors and 130 nurses, as well as medical and technical workers. About 90,000 patients undergo outpatient treatment, and more than 5,800 patients receive medical care on an inpatient basis annually. The hospital has 160 beds to accommodate patients. The department is thus one of the largest medical facilities of this kind in Germany. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Lars French.
The department's specialists provide top-class medical care to patients with skin cancer. The department treats basaliomas, melanomas, and rare skin tumors, such as angiosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, atypical fibroxanthoma, and others. The department is certified as a Skin Cancer Center by the German Cancer Society (DKG), which guarantees compliance with all current clinical protocols and treatment recommendations. The certificate is also a confirmation of the high treatment success rates. The department offers a wide variety of therapeutic methods for skin cancer, including surgical resection, classical chemotherapy, electrochemotherapy, cryotherapy, laser therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation therapy. An interdisciplinary tumor board selects the optimal complex of therapeutic procedures for each patient on an individual basis. A patient must follow the recommendations of dermatologists and regularly undergo follow-up examinations for the prevention or early detection of cancer recurrence after the completion of treatment.
An important focus for the department's doctors is the treatment of autoimmune dermatosis. More than 4,000 patients with this diagnosis are admitted to the medical facility every year. During a consultation, a dermatologist performs a clinical examination and prescribes the necessary tests. With the examination results in hand, a specialist prescribes the required treatment. Depending on the diagnosis and the stage of the pathological process, treatment may include conservative methods or a surgical procedure. In most cases, the department's doctors manage to achieve good results with the help of drug therapy with antibiotics and/or biological drugs.
The department also has laser treatment rooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Innovative laser systems such as ruby lasers for tattoo and pigmentation removal, diode lasers for unwanted body hair removal, and ablative CO2 and Erb:YAG lasers for scar revision, acne treatment, and skin rejuvenation are available here. Laser dermatologists have a wealth of experience and professional skills to provide patients with high-quality medical care.
In terms of pediatric dermatology, the department's therapeutic offerings include the treatment of skin diseases in children of all ages, including rare and genetic conditions. The most common pathologies include neurodermatitis, psoriasis, warts, nevi, fungal diseases, and benign and malignant skin neoplasms. A treatment regimen is developed individually and most often includes conservative methods. Nevi, warts, and skin tumors are removed using sparing laser techniques whenever possible.
The department's range of services also includes the treatment of allergic diseases such as anaphylactic shock, allergies to drugs, food, insect venom, as well as hay fever, rhinoconjunctivitis, bronchial asthma, mastocytosis, urticaria, and occupational dermatoses. To detect a particular type of allergy, the specialists conduct tests, such as prick tests, patch tests, in vitro provocation tests, etc. Patients with allergies are prescribed modern drugs, including biological products, and allergen-specific immunotherapy.
The department also provides medical care to patients with varicose veins, spider veins, leg ulcers, and superficial and deep vein thrombosis. In the early stages of the above-mentioned pathologies, compression and drug therapy are usually used. In complex cases, the department's doctors, in cooperation with vascular surgeons, perform surgical interventions.
