Private Dermatology

Acne can range from mild breakouts to painful cystic acne that can affect confidence and wellbeing. If over-the-counter treatments haven’t helped, our dermatologists can assess your skin and recommend effective medical treatments, including acne extraction where appropriate.

Inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis, can cause itching, redness and discomfort. We help identify triggers, confirm a diagnosis and create a treatment plan to reduce flare-ups and improve skin health.

Skin rashes can have many causes, including allergies, irritation, infections and inflammatory conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Symptoms often include redness, itching, soreness or dry, inflamed skin.

Our dermatologists can assess your rash and, where needed, arrange tests, such as skin prick testing, patch testing or blood tests, to help identify the cause. Once we’ve confirmed a diagnosis, we’ll recommend a detailed, tailored treatment plan to help manage your symptoms.

Skin infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites and may lead to symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, pain or changes to the skin. More severe infections can cause blistering, discharge or skin discolouration, and it’s important not to scratch or break the skin as this can make symptoms worse.

If you’re concerned about a possible skin infection, our dermatologists can assess the area and recommend appropriate treatment. This may include topical or oral medication, as well as procedures such as cryotherapy (freezing) for viral warts, depending on the cause.

Nail disorders can have many causes and may sometimes suggest an underlying health issue. You should not ignore changes, such as redness, swelling, discolouration or alterations in nail shape or texture.

Our dermatologists can assess your nails, explain what’s causing the changes and arrange further tests if needed. If you’re concerned about your nail health, we’ll help you understand what’s happening and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Hair loss can develop gradually, such as thinning on the scalp, or appear suddenly in patches. Male or female pattern hair loss is often the link, but hormonal changes, medical conditions or autoimmune disorders, such as alopecia areata, can cause it.

Our dermatologists can assess the cause of your hair loss and discuss suitable treatment options to help manage the condition and support hair and scalp health.

Abnormal skin pigmentation can cause darker patches or brown marks on areas such as the face, hands, arms or chest. Several factors can trigger or worsen it, and it may affect your confidence and wellbeing.

If you’re concerned about changes in your skin or notice pigmentation spreading, our dermatologists can assess the cause and recommend the most suitable treatment, which may include topical treatments, chemical peels or laser procedures.

Skin allergies can cause symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling or hives, which may appear differently depending on your skin tone. If you think you’re reacting to something, our dermatologists can help identify the cause.

We offer allergy testing, including skin prick tests, to help discover what’s triggering your symptoms. Once we’ve identified the allergen, we’ll explain how to manage your condition and reduce future flare-ups.

Facial skin cancer develops when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably, often linked to sun exposure or individual risk factors, such as skin type or family history. Changes may include a new or changing lump, sore skin, or a patch of skin or mole that doesn’t heal or continues to grow.

Skin cancer is often treatable when you find it early. If you’ve noticed any changes you’re worried about, our dermatologists can assess your skin, explain what’s happening and arrange prompt investigation or treatment if needed.

Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a specialised procedure to remove certain skin cancers while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. It’s invaluable for areas such as the face, including around the eyes, where minimising scarring is essential.

Mohs surgery is one of the most precise treatments available. It has high cure rates, as a surgeon examines the surrounding tissue during the procedure to ensure they remove all cancer cells. If a doctor has referred you for Mohs surgery, our specialist surgeons can guide you through the process and arrange your care.
