This chronic genetic autoimmune disease has an impact on the skin, causing thick, scaly patches to appear, especially on the knees, elbows, back and scalp. In addition to these signs, it can cause pain, discomfort and itching.
4. Rosacea
Rosacea is an inflammatory and chronic condition that can affect self-esteem, as it is visible on the skin of the face through redness, papules and pustules, dilated blood vessels or swelling.
Burning, itching and reduced skin elasticity are other examples of manifestations of this condition, which can significantly affect quality of life. It is therefore one of the focuses of our dermatologists in Porto.

The appearance of red, itchy bumps on the skin brings some patients to our dermatology clinic in Porto.
Urticaria can lead to the appearance of oedema, accompanied by itching or burning sensations, and requires assessment by specialized professionals.

Melasma is a condition that is more common in women. It is manifested by the appearance of hyperpigmented spots located on areas of the skin exposed to the sun, such as the face.

Seborrheic dermatitis can be seen in scaly, red and oily areas on the skin, which can appear on the scalp, face and chest.

The doctors responsible for our Dermatology consultation in Porto often assess benign lesions such as ruby angiomas, seborrheic keratoses and fibromas. The treatment of these conditions can complement medication with dermatological procedures, in a combined therapy.

For an early diagnosis, it is essential to pay attention to the following symptoms:
