Dermatology

Dermatology focuses on the health of your skin, hair, and nails. Condition affecting the skin can range from common issues like acne and eczema to more persistent problems like psoriasis or rosacea, all of which can significantly affect self-esteem and comfort.

Commonly Treated Skin Conditions

• Acne: Persistent spots and inflammation (treated with Differin, Duac, or Lymecycline).
• Eczema and Dermatitis: Dry, itchy, and inflamed skin (managed with steroids like Betnovate or Elocon).
• Psoriasis: Red, scaly patches that require targeted clinical-strength treatments.
• Fungal Infections: Such as athlete's foot or yeast rashes (treated with Daktacort or Lotriderm).

Focus on Recovery

Effective skin care often involves a combination of prescription treatments to address the root cause and specialized emollients to protect and restore the skin barrier. Consistency and patience are key, as most dermatological treatments take several weeks to show full results.

Practical Skincare Tips

• Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and avoid scrubbing irritated areas.
• Protect your skin from UV damage by wearing sunscreen daily.
• Apply moisturisers frequently and immediately after bathing.
• Identify and avoid personal "triggers" that cause your condition to flare up.
