About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Dermatology, Allergology at the Charite University Hospital Berlin provides comprehensive consultations, high-precision diagnostics, and effective treatment of a full range of skin diseases and its appendages. The department's specialists are also competent in the treatment of allergic skin manifestations and sexually transmitted diseases. The department's team of doctors is particularly interested in providing qualified medical care in accordance with international medical standards for patients with benign and malignant skin tumors, general dermatological diseases, autoimmune dermatological diseases, acne, and chronic non-healing wounds. The medical facility has also formed a qualified team of pediatric dermatologists who specialize in the treatment of autoimmune skin diseases, rare hereditary skin diseases, neoplasms, and chronic inflammatory skin diseases in young patients. The department's services include a variety of aesthetic dermatology procedures such as wrinkle treatment with Botox, hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma injections, peels, laser procedures, microneedling, and photodynamic therapy. The physicians work according to current clinical protocols and standards of the German Dermatological Society (DDG). The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Kamran Ghoreschi.
The department houses a highly specialized Skin Cancer Center certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG). The center holds weekly tumor boards, where dermatologists, together with doctors of related specialties (oncologists, radiation therapists, and other experts), analyze each clinical case and develop an optimal treatment plan for the patient, taking into account the stage of the oncological process and the results of the preliminary diagnostic evaluation. The department's doctors have many years of experience in the treatment of malignant melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, cutaneous lymphoma, and rare skin tumors (Merkel cell carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma). In most cases, patients with skin cancer receive multimodal therapy, which combines surgery to remove the tumor, drug therapy, and local therapeutic procedures. The gold standard for surgical treatment of malignant skin tumors is Mohs micrographic surgery. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, often on an outpatient basis. The risk of recurrence after this surgery is virtually zero. Reconstructive plastic surgery can also be performed after resection of the malignant neoplasm, if needed. If clinically indicated, the treatment regimen may also include systemic therapies such as targeted therapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.
An important part of the department's daily work is the treatment of autoimmune skin diseases. Patients with psoriasis, collagenosis, vasculitis, bullous dermatoses, and lichen planus regularly seek medical attention here. If some of the above pathologies are suspected, a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is performed, including laboratory tests, histologic examination, direct and/or indirect immunofluorescence, and provocation tests. The attending physician will then begin to develop a treatment plan. Depending on the diagnosis and severity of the pathological process, local treatment with ointments, gels, or creams, systemic drug therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin infusions, extracorporeal photopheresis, and other therapeutic procedures are used.
The department provides qualified medical care for children and adolescents with skin diseases such as autoimmune dermatoses, rare hereditary skin diseases, benign and malignant skin tumors, and chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Young patients are treated in a specialized outpatient clinic. Pediatric dermatology also offers immunosuppressive therapy for graft-versus-host disease and immunodeficiency disorders. Children receive drug therapy, but if a skin neoplasm is found, surgical resection may be necessary.
Another important clinical specialty is allergology. The department's physicians have excellent expertise in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, food intolerance, drug allergy, allergic rhinitis, contact dermatitis, insect sting allergy, urticaria, mastocytosis, angioedema, and other allergic conditions. To treat allergic reactions, the department's specialists use various effective methods such as drug therapy (including biological drugs), phototherapy, diet therapy, and allergen-specific immunotherapy.
