Medical dermatology deals with everything affecting the skin, mucous membranes, nails and hair: acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, infections, spots, moles, itching. In Marrakech, Dr Sara Zahid consults in Guéliz for all of these, in adults and children alike. Every consultation starts with a full examination and time to understand what bothers you; treatment is only proposed once the diagnosis is made. When a lesion raises questions, digital dermoscopy and, if needed, skin ultrasound make it possible to look at it much more closely.
Acne affects teenagers and adults, and its after-effects sometimes bother more than the spots themselves: scars, brown marks that remain after a flare-up, especially on olive skin. The consultation assesses the type of acne, its aggravating factors and the most suitable treatment, with protection of the skin against marks in mind from the start.
These diseases come in flare-ups. The aim is less to "cure" them than to stabilise them: choosing the right treatment, spacing out flare-ups, adjusting everyday care. Follow-up matters as much as the first prescription.
A mole that changes shape, colour or relief, a spot that bleeds, a lesion that does not heal: the safest thing is to have it examined. Digital dermoscopy magnifies the lesion and reveals its structure, which helps decide between monitoring, removal or a specialist opinion.
Infant eczema, atopic dermatitis, angiomas, warts, molluscum, teenage acne: children are seen with gentle gestures and explanations for the parents. Parents are welcome during the consultation.
The clinic has a high-frequency portable ultrasound (Clarius L20 HD3). It makes it possible to explore a lesion under the skin (nodule, cyst, lump, lymph node, abscess) and to measure skin thickness. The examination is painless, radiation-free and immediate. It complements the clinical examination and does not always replace a biopsy or specialised imaging: the dermatologist says each time what it brings and what it cannot conclude.
In hidradenitis suppurativa, ultrasound shows the nodules, abscesses and tracts under the skin, which palpation does not always reveal, and helps choose and then follow treatment. In psoriasis, it can assess skin thickness, nail involvement and, with a rheumatologist, inflammation of tendons and joints. It is also used to study localised scleroderma (morphea) or a thick scar.
It is the speciality that diagnoses and treats diseases of the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes, as opposed to aesthetic dermatology. It answers a health question, not a request about appearance.
As soon as there is a symptom or a doubt: a rash, persistent itching, pain, a changing lesion, a suspicious mole. The medical consultation makes the diagnosis before any treatment is suggested.
No. It is done when a mole or pigmented lesion calls for closer examination.
Yes, from birth: eczema, angiomas, warts, molluscum, teenage acne.
Yes, with a portable ultrasound, depending on the lesion. It complements the clinical examination but does not always replace a biopsy or specialised imaging.
Yes. In hidradenitis, it shows nodules, abscesses and tracts under the skin and clarifies their extent. In psoriasis, it can assess the skin, the nails and, with a rheumatologist, the tendons and joints. It is also used to follow progress under treatment.
