When should you book an appointment with a dermatologist?

Whether you are dealing with acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin infections, allergies, warts, a new mole or skin irregularity, or need a skin cancer screening, you can consult a dermatologist in Zurich. Skin specialists also treat hair- and nail-related disorders, offering comprehensive care for all your dermatological needs. In a dermatological emergency — such as a severe skin reaction, a rapidly spreading infection, or a mole that suddenly changes in size, colour or shape — seek an urgent dermatology appointment as soon as possible.

What happens during a dermatology consultation?

Your first visit begins with a detailed discussion of your medical history and current symptoms, followed by a clinical examination of the skin, hair and nails. Depending on the findings, the dermatologist may recommend additional tests such as biopsies, allergy testing or blood work. Treatment can involve prescription medication, topical creams, light therapy or minor surgical procedures.

How to book an appointment with a dermatologist in Zurich?

Online booking platforms like OneDoc let you quickly find a dermatologist near you, check real-time availability and secure an appointment — either in person or via teleconsultation.

Waiting times are usually short, making it easy to get a rapid appointment for urgent concerns and regular follow-up care.

Is a consultation with a dermatologist covered by Swiss health insurance (LAMal)?

Standard dermatology visits are generally covered by Switzerland’s mandatory basic insurance (LAMal). Consultation fees vary by practitioner and procedure. For specialised therapies or aesthetic treatments, supplementary insurance may be required. Always check your policy for exact reimbursement terms.

What are the symptoms of scabies?

The first symptoms of scabies usually appear 2 to 6 weeks after contact with the mite, or within a few days in someone who has had scabies before. Intense itching, often worse at night, is the main sign and is caused by an allergic reaction to the mite, its eggs and its droppings. Small red rashes, blisters or wavy lines may appear between the fingers, on the wrists, elbows, around the navel, buttocks or genitals, and scratching can lead to wounds, crusts and secondary infections.

When should you go back to the doctor after scabies treatment?

If symptoms persist after a month, or if new lesions appear, a follow-up consultation is needed. In some cases a second application of treatment may be necessary, or the doctor may adjust the approach to your individual situation. Seeking advice when in doubt helps ensure the infestation is fully cleared.

Which SPF should you choose?

The SPF you choose multiplies the amount of time you can spend in the sun before burning. For example, fair skin that would burn after about 10 minutes is protected for around 300 minutes with SPF 30, and around 500 minutes with SPF 50, with naturally darker skin protected for longer. Wearing SPF 50 does not prevent you from tanning, and for fair skin in strong sun, SPF 50 is the best choice.
