Dermatology Department

About us

For any manner of skin conditions, such as rashes, please consult a doctor at the Dermatology Department. For disorders isolated to the skin, dermatological treatment may suffice, however, in some cases, it will be necessary to closely collaborate with other departments such as internal medicine, pediatrics or plastic surgery. Some cases are diagnosed only by examination, while other cases may require skin biopsy. Even with the same diagnosis, reactions to treatment methods and therapeutic drugs varies. Because of the rapid onset of aging in Japanese society, increasing numbers of patients suffer from skin issues. We strive to provide medical treatments that are ideally suited to each individual patient, carefully and thoroughly performed, and easily understood. Our specialties are skin infections and atopic dermatitis. In cases of atopic dermatitis, we not only prescribe medicine, but also strive to insure that each patient correctly understands the illness.

One of our hospital staff serves as secretariat of the Fukuyama Dermatology Association, and we strive to improve dermatology practice by holding regular case studies and academic lectures with dermatologists, dermatology practitioners and doctors with interest in dermatology in the Fuchu, Onomichi and Kasaoka area.

Future prospects

In addition to providing medical treatment for ordinary skin diseases, we also maintain a strong collaborative relationship with the Plastic Surgery Department, enabling us to offer services such as aesthetic clinical treatment and prevention of skin aging.

Request to patients

Whenever possible, please bring any medicines prescribed by a previous doctor, as well as any written instructions. Please inform us of the name of any previous diagnosis, test results, and the like. For facial examinations, please refrain from using makeup. Please do not apply excessive ointment before the examination. Please show us your skin in its normal state.
