Further indications for complex diagnostics/therapy:

Treatment spectrum

The dermatology day clinic is one of the largest in Germany. For mobile patients, it closes the gap between inpatient and outpatient care for people with skin conditions. By consolidating diagnostic and therapeutic measures (in particular phototherapy, full baths, ointment wipes), a significant additional benefit is possible compared to outpatient care.
For the initiation of system therapies (e.g. immunosuppressants, biologics), an outpatient appointment should be made at the university outpatient clinic.
