01

Acne and inflammatory conditions

Persistent acne, itchy patches and rosacea require different approaches. A consultation helps establish the diagnosis, its impact and the treatments already tried. Topical treatment, systemic medication or observation may be appropriate depending on the situation. Treatment and monitoring are tailored to the individual.

02

Moles and skin checks

Clinical examination, supported by dermoscopy when appropriate, helps assess lesions and plan monitoring. A changing lesion, bleeding or a wound that fails to heal warrants medical advice. This website and its administrative form cannot assess a photograph or determine urgency.

03

Psoriasis, vitiligo and ongoing care

Psoriasis and vitiligo may significantly affect everyday life even when the area involved is small. Options are discussed according to the sites affected, your history and your goals. For moderate-to-severe psoriasis, systemic treatments or biologics may be considered following assessment and under applicable prescribing conditions.

04

Preparing for a medical appointment

Bring your prescriptions, the names of treatments already tried and relevant existing test results. Do not stop prescribed treatment in preparation for the appointment without medical instructions. On Doctolib, select a dermatology consultation suited to your situation; the appointment types and availability actually displayed take precedence.
