About the department
The Department of Dermatology at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf provides highly accurate diagnostics and comprehensive treatment of the entire spectrum of skin diseases and its appendages. The central place in clinical practice is given to the treatment of skin tumors with a special emphasis on melanomas and lymphomas, inflammatory skin diseases, skin lesions due to autoimmune diseases, allergic manifestations on the skin, chronic non-healing wounds, and venous pathologies. The department's physicians have unique expertise in the treatment of rare dermatologic diseases. The medical facility also offers aesthetic dermatology services, the most popular of which is the treatment of wrinkles with Botox, hyaluronic acid, and filler injections. Most therapeutic and surgical procedures are performed on an outpatient basis without hospitalization. The healthcare facility performs about 2,500 surgical procedures each year. The department's specialists diagnose and treat more than 30,000 patients annually, 23,000 of whom receive outpatient medical care. Such high rates of seeking medical attention here indicate excellent quality of services and high competence of doctors.The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Schneider.
The department's physicians focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of skin tumors. Patients with such a diagnosis are treated in a specialized center certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG). Dermatologists, oncologists, radiation therapists, radiologists, plastic surgeons, and other specialists work hand in hand here. The center has an advanced operating room, phototherapy facilities, and an inhouse laboratory, allowing for comprehensive medical care using the latest treatments. The center has an excellent reputation in the national and international medical arena and annually treats more than 1,000 patients, many of whom come from abroad. The department successfully treats melanoma, including rare forms, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, cutaneous lymphoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma. Treatment is based on an individual approach to each patient and their clinical case, as well as the use of the latest and most sparing therapeutic methods in accordance with current clinical protocols. The treatment regimen is developed individually for each patient in weekly interdisciplinary tumor boards, after reviewing the patient's medical history and carefully studying the diagnostic data. The first-line treatment is surgical resection of the malignant skin tumor. In most cases, the operation is supplemented by conservative methods such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. After the completion of the basic course of treatment, the patient is recommended to undergo regular follow-up dermatological examinations to prevent recurrence.
The department's team of dermatologists has extensive experience in the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases, the most common of which are psoriasis, eczema, and acne inversa. Treatment of inflammatory skin lesions is a rather complex clinical task, so the doctors of the department carefully develop a treatment plan for each patient based on diagnostic data and the severity of the inflammatory process. As a rule, the treatment combines local therapy with ointments, creams, and lotions, treatment with pills, phototherapy, diet therapy, and other methods. To eliminate aesthetic defects on the face caused by acne, modern hardware cleansing techniques, peelings, and other cosmetic procedures are recommended.
The department also regularly treats patients with allergic diseases. The medical facility specializes in the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, allergic bronchial asthma, contact allergies, insect sting allergies, drug allergies, food intolerance, neurodermatitis, occupational dermatoses, and anaphylactic shock. Before starting treatment, the physicians of the department study the patient's medical history and perform tests to determine the cause of the allergic reaction. The diagnostic capabilities of the department include prick tests, stretch tests, epicutaneous and intracutaneous tests, photopatch tests, laboratory tests to determine immunoglobulin E (IgE), tryptase, and C1-esterase inhibitor levels, and provocation tests. The optimal course of treatment for the patient is prescribed based on the results of the preliminary diagnosis, the most important part of which in most cases is allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT).

- Diagnostics and treatment of skin cancer
- Diagnostics and treatment of melanoma
