Medical Conditions We Manage

Acne

Acne is an inflammatory condition affecting the oil glands and hair follicles. Specialist management helps to clear active breakouts and prevent acne scarring through medical-grade topicals, oral medications or light-based therapies.

Eczema & Psoriasis

These chronic immune-mediated conditions require precise management to control inflammation and repair the skin barrier. Our specialists provide access to advanced therapies for patients who have not responded to standard treatments.

Urticaria (Hives)

Urticaria involves itchy wheals triggered by the immune system. We investigate potential triggers and provide clinical management to reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups.

Pigmentary Disorders

Conditions such as Melasma and Vitiligo involve changes in melanin production. We use specialist diagnostic tools to distinguish between different types of pigmentation and provide targeted medical treatments.

Scalp Disorders

Inflammatory, autoimmune, hormonal and genetic conditions can affect the scalp, leading to irritation, scaling or hair changes. We provide specialist assessment and coordinate care with our Hair Loss and Thinning Treatments where required.

Nail Disorders

Persistent changes to the nails can indicate underlying medical issues or localised infections. We manage fungal infections, inflammatory nail conditions, and structural changes that require medical or surgical intervention.

Warts & Molluscum

Specialist diagnosis and treatment of warts and molluscum using a range of evidence-based treatments, including cryotherapy (freezing), topical therapies and immunotherapy where appropriate.

Vulval Disorders

Conditions such as lichen sclerosus require a high level of diagnostic expertise and sensitive clinical care.

Connective Tissue Disorders

Autoimmune connective tissue disorders involve the skin as a primary indicator of systemic disease. Our specialists provide clinical diagnosis and coordinated management for conditions such as lupus, scleroderma and dermatomyositis.
