Abstract
This rapid post-emergency consultation forms a small part of the activities of the dermatological emergency unit but is positive in the view of the dermatologists in charge of emergency consultations since it means patients can be given appointments soon after initial treatment, thus avoiding the need to return to the emergency unit. The diseases seen at this unit are similar to those seen in the emergency unit. While absenteeism is considerable, this type of consultation results in the organisation of further ongoing care for 40% of patients, most of whom comply with treatment.
