Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Aksoğan’s practice involves chronic inflammatory skin diseases. He evaluates and treats patients with psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, as well as Behçet’s disease, a condition that may involve the skin and mucous membranes among other systems. He also sees patients with infectious skin conditions, including athlete’s foot and other fungal infections, and with sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, genital herpes, and anal and perianal warts. In these cases, the consultation typically includes a clinical examination and, where appropriate, laboratory testing to confirm the diagnosis before treatment options are discussed.

Dr. Aksoğan additionally addresses hair loss and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). His procedural work includes cryotherapy, which is commonly used for warts and certain other skin lesions, and botulinum toxin applications, which may be considered in the management of excessive sweating. His clinical interests also extend to PRP and hair mesotherapy in the context of hair loss treatment. Whether a particular procedure is suitable depends on the individual diagnosis, the extent of the condition and the patient’s general health, and this is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

How Dr. Aksoğan works with international patients

Dr. Aksoğan consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports, such as previous dermatology notes, laboratory and pathology results, photographs of the affected area if available, and any discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of previous treatments and existing test results, a clinical examination of the skin, hair or nails, and a discussion of the available options. For international patients who wish to discuss their condition before traveling, a video consultation is available so that initial questions can be addressed and the need for an in-person examination can be considered in advance.
