I have had psoriasis for many years, and the repeated flare-ups have been very distressing. This year I came to Shanghai Dermatology Hospital for treatment. The doctor not only had excellent medical expertise and identified my pathological subtype at a glance, but also had a very gentle and patient manner, answering all of my concerns in detail. After several months of systematic treatment and biologic therapy, my skin lesions have now clearly subsided, all indicators have returned to normal, and my condition is very stable. I am very grateful for the doctor’s excellent medical skills, which have helped me regain confidence in life!

Our child has had severe atopic dermatitis since early childhood, with intense itching all over the body. This time we booked an appointment with a specialist at Shanghai Dermatology Hospital. The doctor made a very accurate diagnosis, conducted the consultation with great attention to detail, and was very reassuring and caring toward the child. The doctor developed a stepwise plan for applying medication and using moisturizers. After two weeks of treatment, the redness and scaling on the child’s skin had clearly decreased, the itching had been greatly relieved, and nighttime sleep quality improved significantly. We are truly grateful to this patient and responsible doctor!
