What is covered by dermatological examinations?
At Doctor's House Antverpia, you can go for preventive skin check-ups as well as diagnosis and follow-up of various skin conditions. These may include complaints such as itching, rashes, changing skin lesions, chronic redness or other skin changes. During the dermatological consultation, a thorough evaluation of the skin is done. If necessary, additional examinations are carried out or further follow-up is provided. Each care programme is tailored to your complaints, skin type and medical history. Timely assessment of skin problems helps maintain healthy skin. Our team is ready to guide you through this in a professional and careful manner.
Anamnesis
During the medical history, the doctor asks specific questions about your symptoms, medical history, medication and any conditions in your family. This gives us a complete picture of your health situation and allows us to examine and treat you in a more targeted way.
Clinical research
The clinical examination is a physical examination in which the doctor examines you using standard medical techniques such as inspection, auscultation (listening), palpation (feeling) and percussion (tapping). This helps recognise abnormalities and assess your general health.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An ECG measures the electrical activity of the heart. It is a simple and painless test that allows detection of cardiac arrhythmias or abnormalities in cardiac conduction. The ECG also helps detect other heart problems such as oxygen deprivation or scarring after a heart attack.
Holter monitoring
In Holter studies, you wear a small device that continuously records your heart rhythm for 24 to 48 hours. This allows us to detect cardiac arrhythmias that may not be visible on a standard ECG. This method provides a realistic picture of your heart activity during your daily activities.
Cycling test
The cycling test, also called exercise test, examines how your heart responds during gradual physical strain. Among other things, we measure heart rhythm, blood pressure and any symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. For example, we can detect oxygen deficiency or arrhythmias under exertion.
Echocardiography
With echocardiography, we make an image of the heart via sound waves. This is how we map the heart muscle, valves and pumping function. This technique is essential for detecting structural heart problems and monitoring the effect of treatment.
Blood pressure monitoring
In 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, we wear a portable meter that automatically records your blood pressure throughout an entire day and night. This gives us an accurate picture of your blood pressure in your daily life and allows us to better assess whether and what treatment is needed.
Lab tests
Blood and urine samples provide valuable information about your general health. Among other things, we examine kidney function, cholesterol, sugar levels, thyroid function, inflammation levels and hormones. These data help us detect abnormalities in time and initiate appropriate treatment.
Typical conditions we treat
Skin disordersDuring the dermatology consultation, you can go for diagnosis and follow-up of a variety of skin conditions, including:

Eczema: various forms such as constitutional, seborrhoeic, contact eczema, nummular eczema and hand eczema, often accompanied by itching and redness. Benign skin lesions, such as age-related warts and other harmless skin changes, which are checked as needed.

Preparing for your consultation
If possible, bring photos showing the evolution of your skin symptoms, a summary of the medication and skin products you are taking, and any questions you would like to discuss during the consultation.
How does a dermatology consultation take place?
1. Intake & medical history
The consultation starts with a focused discussion about your skin complaints, previous skin problems, skin care, medication use and any previous treatments. This allows the doctor to get a full picture of your skin and personal situation.
2. Clinical research
We then conduct a thorough skin examination. This is done carefully and in a structured manner to identify the cause of your complaint and any additional skin abnormalities.
3. Diagnosis and treatment plan
Based on the examination, the diagnosis is clearly explained and together we discuss the best follow-up steps, tailored to your situation. Depending on the findings, we draw up a personal treatment plan, which may include medication or creams, allergy testing and advice on triggers, biopsy or tissue examination, dermatoscopy for suspicious spots, advice on sun protection and prevention, or referral to dermatological surgery if necessary.
