The human body is endowed with many shields that we do not perceive, except for one that we all see, our skin. Medicine classifies it among the human organs.
Our skin is the largest organ of the body, and it never ceases to amaze us with its marvelous design. It possesses extraordinary properties: it is waterproof, flexible, insulating, resilient, and impermeable to microbes. Its thickness ranges from 0.5 to 7 millimeters, enough to protect the body from infections and dryness. It shields us from harmful radiation (through melanin), cools the body (through sweat), and defends against external invaders (through immune cells). With its sensory receptors, it informs the brain of everything happening in the surrounding environment.
But the most remarkable fact is that it constantly changes and renews itself. For this reason, caring for the skin is a primary concern at LP CLINIC, and part of this care includes the diagnosis and treatment of dermatological and sexually transmitted conditions. The experienced doctors and nursing staff at LP CLINIC are at your disposal to provide information and answer any questions you may have.
Common Questions
How is the clinical examination and diagnosis performed?
The clinical examination is performed by an experienced dermatologist using dermatoscopy and a thorough clinical assessment. The patient’s full medical history is also recorded. If deemed necessary, a small skin sample may be taken for histological examination, along with blood tests and microbiological analyses, in collaboration with reputable laboratories. Finally, a personalized treatment plan is recommended based on your specific condition and the needs of your skin.
