In autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks its own body.

We use various therapeutic approaches to treat your immune system exactly where it is needed and ensure long-term recovery. Autoimmune diseases include all diseases in which the immune system attacks the patient's own body.

Various environmental factors such as sunlight, infections or medication can act as triggers.

Autoimmune diseases are usually characterised by reddening of the skin, itching and, more rarely, blistering of the skin and mouth.

Your path to healthy skin

Diagnosis

The first step is a careful examination of the affected areas of skin. We also analyse blood and skin samples, as a microscopic examination of the skin structure provides information on the type of disease.

Treatment

Depending on the type and severity of the disease, local therapy with anti-inflammatory creams (e.g. cortisone) is often used. We also often treat with medication that suppresses the reaction of the immune system. Avoiding the triggering factors (e.g. UV light) also plays an important role. We are sure to find a solution for you.
