Dermatology and Skin Clinics in Budapest: English-Speaking Options Compared

Dermatology is one of the easiest specialties to reach in Budapest, in both systems. On the public side, a dermatology outpatient clinic (borgyogyaszati szakorvosi rendelo) is on the short list of specialties you may use without a GP referral under Hungarian health insurance rules (government decree 217/1997, section 2(1)(a)(aa)), so a TAJ card gets you in directly. The skin and STD dispensary (bor- es nemibeteg-gondozo) is handled differently by the same decree, which matters in practice and is explained below. On the private side, Budapest has expat-oriented clinics with English-speaking dermatologists plus a whole niche of dedicated mole screening (anyajegyszures) centers using digital body mapping.

Prices are transparent by Hungarian standards. Based on the price lists published by the providers below and read in August 2026, a private dermatology consultation runs roughly HUF 29,000 to 53,200, with FirstMed publishing a much wider specialist band from HUF 48,500 and Dr. Rose charging EUR 250. Digital mole mapping starts around HUF 51,300 to 64,600 and rises with the number of moles, up to HUF 102,000 for 101 moles or more on the Waberer Medical Center price list. Aesthetic add-ons such as botulinum toxin or hyaluronic fillers are also widely published.

This page separates medical dermatology from cosmetic work, because only the first has a public TAJ route. It compares fully English-language practices, the dermatology departments of the big private centers, the specialist mole-mapping labs (mostly Hungarian-first, flagged where that is the case), and two dermatologist-led clinics that also sell aesthetic treatments. Where a screening is taken by an assistant or by a doctor who is not a dermatologist, that is stated in the listing. Always confirm the current fee and the language of the consultation when booking.

The public (TAJ) route

With a valid TAJ card, dermatology outpatient care is covered (see how the TAJ card works). The referral rule is not one rule but two, in the same text. Under government decree 217/1997, section 2(1), point (a)(aa) lets you use a dermatology specialist clinic with no referral at all, while point (b) says care at a skin and STD dispensary (bor- es nemibeteg-gondozo) is referral-free only after a first visit made on a doctor's referral. Many district skin clinics are run as exactly such a gondozo.

Public providers do not read this uniformly. The Bajcsy-Zsilinszky hospital's dermatology and skin/STD dispensary states that its care is available with no specialist referral, through central pre-booking, and the North Pest Centre Hospital dermatology clinic publishes "Nem beutalo koteles szakrendeles" (not a referral-bound clinic). The move that works either way: phone the szakrendelo you want, ask whether that particular clinic is a szakrendeles or a gondozo, and if there is any doubt ask your haziorvos (GP) for a beutalo, which no clinic will refuse.

Booking runs through a patient reception list. Under decree 287/2006, section 13/A, outpatient providers must keep a betegfogadasi lista for each clinic, you or your GP can ask to be put on it in person, by phone or electronically, and the provider must give you the expected date to at least calendar-day precision. Hungary publishes no national waiting figure for outpatient dermatology: the NEAK public waiting-list registry covers highlighted operations, not specialist consultations, so the date you are quoted on the phone is the only number that exists. Expect Hungarian-first admin and no interpreter. If a mole is changing, bleeding or new, say so when booking so it is triaged accordingly. Public clinics handle medical dermatology and suspicious lesions; digital full-body mole mapping and aesthetic treatments are private-pay services.

Waberer Medical Center

PrivatePrivate hospital dermatology departmentXII. District (Buda)

The booking portal linked from the clinic's own dermatology page may simply ask you to call +36 1 323 7000. Fotona laser equipment is described as available for cosmetic procedures, which are separate from the medical dermatology above.

03

Dr. Rose Private Hospital

04

Rozsakert Medical Center

PrivatePrivate medical centerII. District (Buda)

Buda clinic in the Rozsakert Shopping Center, founded in 2001 and now branded RMC Clinics, with a full English website and a dermatology price list published in English.

DermatologyVenereologyCosmetologyOnline consultation
Focused exam (established patient)HUF 53,200
Expanded exam (established patient)HUF 68,900
Online consultation (2nd category)HUF 16,900

Good to know: Two things the price page states in the small print: English-language service carries an "Additional doctor and nurse fee" on top of the exam (the published online version of that fee is HUF 10,900), and the listed figures are the full prices settled by transfer or insurance, with lower cash-discount prices on the official Hungarian price list. Billing uses US-style exam categories (focused vs expanded) rather than a flat dermatology fee, and the dermatology section publishes rates for established patients only.

05

Oktogon Medical Center

PrivatePrivate medical centerVI. District (Pest)

Central Andrassy ut practice whose dermatology is run by Dr. Polman Erzsebet, a board-certified dermatologist trained in Pecs and Szeged, with mole and skin cancer screening among her stated focuses and prices published in HUF.

Oxygen Medical

PrivatePrivate clinic groupMultiple locations

Mid-priced clinic group combining medical dermatology, time-slot mole screening and aesthetic treatments, with a dedicated English booking line.

Mole screening with dermatoscope (60 min)HUF 60,000
Lip filler 1 ml (Juvederm Ultra 3)HUF 120,000

Good to know: Read the price list carefully: the cheap HUF 19,000 to 25,000 "dermatology pre-screening" is a dermatoscopic mole check performed by a general doctor, not a dermatologist, and the clinic states that a suspected melanoma then needs a further consultation with its dermatologist. Sites are in Ujpest (IV.), at Bosnyak ter (1141 Budapest, Bosnyak utca 48-50.) and a lab point at Madach ter (1075 Budapest, Madach Imre ut 11.); for English service call +36 20 210 6486.

MelanomaMobil

PrivateMole and melanoma screening centerVI. District (Pest)

Dedicated melanoma screening service founded by dermatologist Dr. Horvath Bela: high-resolution dermatoscopic photos are stored as a digital skin map, and after the on-site doctor a second evaluating specialist analyses the images and writes the report.

Good to know: The site is inconsistent about its own age: the homepage says 20 years, while the about page says 16 years of operation and more than 100,000 screenings. Prices are effective from 5 January 2026, and the report sets your individual follow-up date rather than a fixed yearly interval. Hungarian-first service (site and booking in Hungarian); ask by phone whether an English-speaking doctor is available. Also has clinics in Gyor and Sopron.

Anyajegyszuro Kozpont

PrivateAutomated mole screening centerMultiple locations

Prima Medica's screening brand: automated full-body mole mapping with AI-supported video dermatoscopy at the Ostrom utca (Szena ter) site, and specialist video dermatoscopy screening at Bosnyak ter.

The price rises in bands with your mole count (up to HUF 139,600 above 300 moles), and a first visit or 100 moles or more needs two consecutive slots. Prices are dated 1 March 2025 and the site states they apply to Hungarian-language care. Second site at 1147 Budapest, Csomori ut 18.; cancelling within 24 hours costs 50 percent of the fee.

Anyajegy Klinika

PrivateFotoFinder mole mapping clinicXIII. District (Pest)

Screening-only practice running a 2024-generation FotoFinder ATBM IV system: 20 high-resolution views of the whole skin surface, analysed by FotoFinder's Moleanalyzer Pro software, which the clinic says can track more than 100 moles and flag changes between visits.

FotoFinder body mappingMole screeningFollow-up comparison
FotoFinder full-body mapping with specialist evaluation (60 min)HUF 59,000
FotoFinder check of 1-3 moles (15 min)HUF 20,000
Follow-up full-body mapping (15 min)HUF 56,000

Good to know: Know who does what: the clinic states that the images are taken by a trained assistant and that a dermatologist then analyses and validates the report, delivered online, with a face-to-face specialist consultation available on request rather than by default. Hungarian-language site; the practice sits inside the Visegradi40 private clinic, which shares the same phone number and lists a dermatologist of its own. No consultation or mole removal is priced here.

Dr. Pellion Szilvia Aesthetic Dermatology

PrivateAesthetic and medical dermatology practiceII. District (Buda)

Good to know: Price list stated as effective from 1 February 2025, so confirm current fees when booking. Booking is by phone; the practice is open Mon to Fri 10am to 6pm. Many aesthetic items on the price list are published as "-tol" (from) figures rather than fixed prices, so ask for a written quote before a filler or laser package.

Ratings, prices and details were last checked in August 2026 from each provider's public pages, Google Maps and Trustpilot; they change, so always confirm directly with the provider before booking or paying. Listings are editorial picks, not paid placements, and this page is general information, not medical, financial or legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist in Hungary?

For a public dermatology specialist clinic, no: section 2(1)(a)(aa) of government decree 217/1997 lists dermatology among the specialties usable without a GP referral. The same section, at point (b), treats the skin and STD dispensary (bor- es nemibeteg-gondozo) differently and requires a referral for the first visit only, and many district skin clinics are run as a gondozo. Some public providers publish that their clinic needs no referral at all, so phone ahead and get a beutalo from your GP if there is any doubt. None of the private clinics on this page asks for a referral.

How much does a private dermatologist cost in Budapest?

Published price lists read in August 2026 show HUF 29,000 to 48,000 at Dr. Harmos and HUF 35,000 at Dr. Pellion, HUF 42,000 to 43,000 at Oxygen Medical, Waberer and Oktogon, and HUF 53,200 for a focused exam at Rozsakert Medical Center. FirstMed publishes a wide specialist band of HUF 48,500 to 245,000, Oktogon adds a HUF 15,000 surcharge for a consultation held in English, Rozsakert charges an extra doctor and nurse fee for English-language service, and Dr. Rose charges EUR 250.

What does full-body mole screening (anyajegyszures) cost in Budapest?

MelanomaMobil publishes HUF 53,000 for a first full-body screening with a skin map, Anyajegy Klinika HUF 59,000 for FotoFinder total body mapping, and Anyajegyszuro Kozpont HUF 64,600 for automated total body mapping with specialist video dermatoscopy at its Ostrom utca site, or HUF 52,000 for a specialist video dermatoscopy screening at Bosnyak ter. FirstMed prices its dermatoscope screening from HUF 51,300 for 1 to 10 moles, with the dermatology consultation billed on top, and Waberer prices by mole count from HUF 62,000 up to HUF 102,000.

Can I get a skin check in English in Budapest?

Yes. FirstMed runs a fully English-language clinic, Waberer Medical Center names five dermatologists who consult in English, and Dr. Rose, Rozsakert Medical Center, Oktogon Medical Center, Dr. Harmos and Dr. Pellion all publish an English site or an English-speaking dermatologist. Two of them charge for it: Oktogon adds HUF 15,000 for a consultation in English, and Rozsakert states that an additional doctor and nurse fee applies to English-language service. The specialist mole-mapping centers (MelanomaMobil, Anyajegyszuro Kozpont, Anyajegy Klinika) publish in Hungarian only, so ask about English when booking.

How often should moles be checked, and who actually looks at them?

The Budapest screening centers set the interval individually rather than by a fixed rule: MelanomaMobil states that the evaluating specialist writes the recommended date of the next check into your personalised report, and follow-up screenings are priced as a separate item at most of the clinics here. Ask your dermatologist what interval suits your skin type and history. Check who performs the screening too: at Anyajegy Klinika the FotoFinder images are taken by a trained assistant and read by a dermatologist, and Oxygen Medical sells a cheaper dermatology pre-screening performed by a general doctor rather than a dermatologist.
