About me

I'm from Coruña, although I live in Madrid, and I discovered my passion for wound healing during my Dermatology residency. I have trained in phlebology and geriatrics in Paris, focusing on leg wounds. I hope the information you find on the blog feels relatable, simple, and useful. I am very grateful for the trust of my readers and patients.
