Dermatologist and venereal disease specialist, docent Jaana Panelius, has worked as a head physician at the dermatology clinic of HYKS. She has supervised and consulted interns and specialists, worked as a teacher for medical students, and been involved in the clinic’s research projects related to cutaneous borreliosis, vesicular diseases, and connective tissue diseases. She has also been responsible for the dermatology outpatient clinic’s connective tissue diseases (including dermatomyositis, scleroderma and lupus erythematosus) and autoimmune blistering diseases (including pemphigoid, pemphigus and cutaneous celiac disease) outpatient clinics and has participated in the preparation of treatment recommendations for these skin diseases and the texts of the new Dermatology textbook.
“I treat patients of all ages and a wide range of skin diseases. Despite decades of experience in dermatology, I approach every patient’s problem individually and with careful attention to their specific needs. As diagnostics and treatments in dermatology are constantly evolving, regular participation in training and staying up to date with new developments in the field are important to me.”
