Tell us what skin condition do you treat? Okay, there are several skin problems. First of all, we treat all the dermatological skin diseases. So the unit is divided into a general clinic, where we see different diagnoses. And then we have what we call second access, which is a subspecialty, where the patients are allocated according to their specific problem. So they usually come first in the general clinic and they move to the specific clinic. Those clinics are different and in order of, how can I say, in order of main attendance, We have psoriasis, allergic dermatitis, which is including atopic dermatitis, and all the contact dermatitis. Then we have pigmented knee-by-knee lesions, so patients coming for checking pigmentary lesions. Then we have a more focused clinic only for melanoma, already diagnosed melanoma patients. We have a clinic for acne. We have a clinic for hydradenitis suppurativa, which is a big problem in medical practice. We have a daily leg ulcer and chronic wounds clinic, which is a very, very heavy workload. What else? We have a pediatric dermatology clinic also. Another clinic is what we call rare skin diseases, because those are coded in Italy with a special number, because the patient needs remuneration and all the facilities for the rare disease. We have a clinic for treatment which is the first one is phototherapy where we treat with lights, different type of lights, different inflammatory conditions. And also we have a surgical clinic where we do either biopsies or skin lesion removal, like taking a B-by, melanoma or stuff to do biopsies. Those are the main clinics we are doing.
