Suffering with a chronic skin condition such as, eczema, psoriasis or acne can have a serious impact on your confidence and quality of life.
It is important to diagnose and treat these conditions as soon as possible to prevent further problems developing such as infection or scarring.
Our tailored dermatology treatment and care plans allow you to take control of your skin condition and manage your symptoms to regain your skin confidence.
Eczema: is a chronic skin condition that causes itchiness, redness and swollen or dry cracked skin. Eczema can occur at any age, but it typically begins in childhood and can change in severity over time. You should not scratch the affected areas (we know this can be extremely difficult) as this can make the symptoms worse and increase the risk of skin infections.
Dermatitis: is the term used to describe skin inflammation and can refer to a number of different skin conditions and diseases. Although dermatitis symptoms vary with all different forms of the condition there are certain signs that are common for all of them, redness of the skin, swelling, itching and sometimes oozing and scarring.
Psoriasis: is an autoimmune disease that can appear on the skin as raised areas of abnormal skin that are red, pink, or purple, dry, itchy, and scaly. Psoriasis is not contagious, and its severity varies from small patches to complete body coverage.
Urticaria: also known as hives, weals, or welts, is a raised, itchy rash that appears on the skin. It may appear on one part of the body or be spread across large areas. Our doctors will usually be able to diagnose urticaria by examining the rash and asking you questions to find out what triggered your symptoms. You may also need blood tests and allergy tests.
Rosacea: is a skin condition that mainly affects the face. It is more common in women and people with lighter skin. Common symptoms include redness (blushing) across your nose, cheeks, forehead and chin that comes and goes. Sometimes there is a burning or stinging feeling when washing the skin or when applying skincare products.
Acne: is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point, causing spots, oily skin and sometimes skin that is hot or painful to touch. It commonly affects the face, back and chest areas. People with more severe acne may develop skin scarring. Acne can be caused by a number of different factors but is commonly associated with adolescence experiencing hormonal changes.
Moles, Lumps and Bumps: whether you are worried about a mole or skin lumps and bumps are troubling you, our doctors will be able to assess your lesion and provide appropriate options for treatments including in house simple minor surgical procedures.
