Medical Dermatology
Eczema, psoriasis, infections, rashes, rosacea, warts and moles. The everyday medicine of skin, diagnosed properly and treated properly.
Much of dermatology is medical rather than cosmetic: itching that will not stop, a rash that keeps returning, a mole that has changed, nails and scalp, allergies and infections.
A dermatologist's job here is diagnosis. Many conditions look alike and are treated very differently, and the right answer often comes from examination, dermoscopy and sometimes a small test rather than from guesswork.
Chronic conditions such as eczema and psoriasis are managed over time with a plan you can actually follow, built around flare control, skin barrier care and honest expectations.
How we treat it
Common questions
- When should I see a dermatologist instead of a general doctor?
- When a skin, hair or nail concern has lasted more than a few weeks, keeps returning, is changing, or is affecting your daily life. A changing mole should always be examined promptly.
- Do you treat children?
- Common childhood skin conditions such as eczema, infections and warts are part of medical dermatology. Please mention the patient's age when booking.
