  • Consultations with dermatologists increase: 600 thousand patients attend monthly

Those who believed that children were only taken to the dermatologist for having atopic dermatitis, a disease that is 10 times more common in the child population than in adults, were wrong, it occurs in 10-15% of children. In Spain, professionals in this area receive 621,000 visits per month, that is, 28 patients per day, a really worrying figure. The reason: actinic keratosis (a precancerous lesion), non-melanoma skin cancer (basal cell carcinomas) or melanocytic nevus, that is, benign moles. Psoriasis, viral warts, pigmentation disorders or dermatitis are also part of the most frequent consultations by Spaniards. In 18-year-olds, the main reason for consultation is acne.

These results were revealed during the National Congress of Dermatology and Venereology held in May 2018 in Palma de Mallorca, (Spain). According to the president of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV) and the Fundación Piel Sana, Dr. Pedro Jaén, `` it is the first study at a national level that analyzes diagnoses made in the dermatology consultations of the members of the AEDV ''

Solar radiation, pollution, tobacco, temperature, nutrition, stress, lack of sleep, and the use of toxic cosmetics are factors that contribute to skin aging and the pathologies mentioned above. Joan Escalas Taberner, president of the Congress Organizing Committee, pointed out that “excessive smoking and sunbathing are associated with a greater number of wrinkles, the latter is also associated with a higher risk of actinic keratoses, lentigos or basal cell carcinomas. These injuries are much more evident in the elderly population, hence the importance of raising awareness of certain habits that help or harm us over the years. Also specialization in geriatric dermatology is essential because there is a large volume of elderly population with skin problems

As you can see, skin problems are so frequent that through these types of events and their dissemination on the network, they want to make people aware of how important it is to adopt healthy habits from a young age and not when they arrive at age 50. Ozono D'or ozonated dermocosmetics and oils are the best ally for skin care due to their effectiveness and formulation free of toxic ingredients that cause many allergies, as well as being very affordable.

There are drugs to treat many skin diseases that generate a great economic shock for those affected and that for this reason are not included in the public health system.
