Dermatological issue
At the NIOS Clinic, we are able to diagnose and treat many dermatological symptoms without the immediate need for a consultation with a dermatologist. Redness, rashes, itching, or other discomforts can often be managed by our team before considering a specialized consultation. If the situation requires a dermatologist, our professionals will register you with the CRDS (Centre for Service Requests Distribution), which will place you on the waiting list for a dermatology consultation. We are here to help relieve your symptoms quickly and efficiently guide you to specialized care if necessary.
Several situations requiring our assistance
Skin infections are caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that invade the skin, with varying degrees of severity.
Impetigo: Contagious bacterial infection causing yellowish blisters or crusts, often around the nose, mouth, and hands.
Cellulitis: Deep bacterial infection leading to redness, swelling, pain, and sometimes fever. Requires prompt care to prevent spread.
Folliculitis: Infection of the hair follicles appearing as small red or white bumps around the hair.
Skin abscess: Accumulation of pus under the skin, often caused by Staphylococcus aureus, presenting as a warm, painful bump.
Herpes simplex: Viral infection causing painful blisters around the mouth (cold sores) or genital organs (genital herpes).
Warts: Skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), appearing on various parts of the body.
Ringworm (Tinea): Contagious fungal infection forming red ring-shaped patches on the skin or scalp.
Cutaneous Candidiasis: Fungal infection affecting skin folds, causing redness, itching, and cracks.
The treatments vary depending on the cause: antibiotics for bacterial infections, antifungals for fungal infections, and antivirals for viral infections. It is important to consult a healthcare professional if symptoms worsen, to prevent any complications.
Inflammatory skin problems result from an excessive immune system reaction or external triggers, causing symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, or irritation. Their severity can vary, ranging from mild discomfort to chronic conditions requiring management.
Psoriasis: An autoimmune disease causing thick, red patches covered with white scales.
Atopic dermatitis: A form of eczema characterized by red, dry, and irritating patches.
Lichen planus: An inflammatory condition causing eruptions of small polygonal papules, often accompanied by itching.
Cutaneous lupus: Skin inflammation related to lupus, with rashes typically on the face and areas exposed to the sun.
Skin inflammatory problems require treatments tailored to their origin and severity. Options include topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, immunosuppressants for autoimmune diseases like psoriasis or lupus, and moisturizers to relieve eczema symptoms. In some cases, systemic treatments may be necessary to manage more severe conditions. It is crucial to consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen to obtain an accurate diagnosis and prevent complications. Early intervention helps effectively relieve discomfort and restore healthy skin.
Moles can sometimes be confused with other skin spots or lesions. Some of them are benign and pose no risk, while others require special attention. Spots caused by sun exposure or skin growths may resemble moles, but it is important to monitor their appearance. Signs such as changes in size, shape, or color should prompt a visit to a healthcare professional. Early diagnosis can help prevent risks associated with more serious conditions.
Angioma: These are small red or purple spots caused by clusters of blood vessels under the skin.
Solar Lentigo (sun spots): Brown or black spots caused by prolonged sun exposure. They usually appear on sun-exposed areas like the face and hands.
Dermatofibroma: A small firm mass under the skin, often brown or reddish in color. These lesions are benign and usually form after a small injury or insect bite.
Keratosis: These are small rough or scaly patches that appear after prolonged sun exposure. They are sometimes confused with moles, but are precancerous and should be monitored or removed via cryotherapy.
Mole: A mole is a type of skin cancer. It is often asymmetrical, has irregular borders, uneven color, and a diameter larger than 6 mm. Any changes in size, shape, or color of a mole should be examined by a healthcare professional.
Skin tags and molluscum: These small, soft skin growths, often the same color as the skin or slightly pigmented, are usually harmless, but we can easily remove them for you.
Basal Cell Carcinoma: This type of skin cancer may appear as pink or brown bumps. They are often shiny or have a pearl-like texture.
It is essential to differentiate these various skin lesions from regular moles, as some may require prompt medical attention. Regular monitoring of your skin and recognizing signs of change can prevent more serious complications. If you have concerns about the appearance or evolution of a lesion, it is always recommended to consult a professional. Early diagnosis allows timely intervention and ensures appropriate management, providing you with peace of mind and health.
Some dermatological conditions are related to internal imbalances, infections, or metabolic disorders, causing various symptoms visible on the skin, hair, or nails. These conditions may manifest as hair loss, abnormalities in the nails, or subcutaneous deposits, and their severity can vary. They can be simple aesthetic discomforts or indicate more serious health problems, requiring a thorough medical evaluation for proper diagnosis and treatment.
