There are a number of skin diseases that are caused by bacterial infections. These often lead to purulent inflammations just below the surface of the skin, which vary in size depending on their severity and can occur anywhere on the body.

The treatment concept and gentle procedures for bacterial skin conditions, with a summary and notes on Dermacare.
Among the most common skin infections that should be treated by a specialist are impetigo (school sores), folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicle), as well as all forms of abscesses (from mild to severe) and boils (abscess as a result of folliculitis).
The experienced dermatologists at Dermacare develop a therapy concept tailored to our patients’ needs for the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial skin diseases.
During the initial consultation at Dermacare, which takes about 30-45 minutes, the attending physician makes the diagnosis and decides on the next step of therapy. Depending on its severity, the infected area is treated topically with antibiotic ointments, in some cases a small procedure in which the dermatologist opens the abscess solves the problem. In the case of more severe courses and recurring inflammations, a drug therapy with antibiotics is used. In order to identify the strain of bacteria and to treat it specifically, it is possible to take a swab.
It is also important for minor operations to be performed gently, painlessly and as precisely as possible. Before the procedure, you will be informed in detail about the procedure and possible risks involved. After a successful intervention, a follow-up appointment is usually scheduled 3–14 days later to check the wound, change the dressing and monitor progress.
Professional treatment
For a first-class aesthetic result, the doctor’s experience in diagnosis and treatment is crucial. The specialists at Dermacare have relevant additional qualifications and extensive experience, which is why we can look back on satisfied clients and excellent treatment results.
Detailed consultation
We attach great importance to a detailed consultation and therefore take the time for a detailed initial consultation, during which you will receive all information regarding diagnosis, treatment, treatment options and the course of treatment and during which all your questions will be answered.
Latest technology
In order to optimise diagnosis and treatment, our medical specialists undergo continuous further training and are familiar with the latest treatment methods. As Dermacare is equipped with the latest devices on the market, we offer patients treatment based on the latest scientific and technical knowledge.
Even minor procedures are carried out gently and as precisely as possible. Beforehand, you are given a thorough explanation of the procedure and possible risks.
Even before the consultation with our specialist, we ask you to complete a medical history questionnaire, which forms the basis for the subsequent discussion.
At Dermacare the consultation, examination, diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases is carried out by experienced specialists in dermatology.
The success of the therapy is assessed at the follow-up appointment (progress check / discussion of findings) and a decision is made on the further procedure.
The treatment is carried out by our medically trained team under medical supervision — with the relevant additional training and many years of experience.

The most common bacterial skin infections include impetigo, folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicle), abscesses of all degrees of severity and boils, which are abscesses resulting from folliculitis. They often appear as purulent inflammations just beneath the surface of the skin and should be treated by a specialist.
Depending on severity, the infected area is treated topically with antibiotic ointments. In some cases a minor procedure in which the dermatologist opens the abscess resolves the problem. Before any procedure, you are given a detailed explanation of the process and possible risks.
That depends on the severity. For milder forms, topical treatment with antibiotic ointments is often sufficient. For more severe cases and recurring inflammations, drug therapy with antibiotics is used. To treat the bacterial strain in a targeted way, a swab can be taken.
You complete a medical history questionnaire beforehand. In the initial consultation, which takes about 30 to 45 minutes, the treating doctor makes the diagnosis and decides on the next therapy step. After a procedure, a follow-up appointment for wound check, dressing change and progress check is usually set for 3 to 14 days later.
The specialist initial consultation costs €150 to €190, and follow-up consultations cost €120. The progress check or discussion of findings is free of charge. The price of treatment depends on the complexity of the treatment; in the consultation, the doctor determines the costs according to the circumstances. You will receive your personal cost estimate in the consultation, before you decide on how to proceed.
Under certain conditions, the costs of the consultation or treatment are partly reimbursed by the public health insurance fund or, depending on the policy, by private health insurance, if you submit the invoice. The exact amount depends on your insurance. Please ask your insurer which services and what share are reimbursed under your plan.
