Medical Skin Consultations

Assessment and management of persistent, recurrent acne (teens and adults), including comedonal acne, inflammatory breakouts and acne associated with hormonal or other contributing factors.

Treatment may include prescription medication, topical skincare, lifestyle guidance and selected in-clinic treatments. Active acne is usually brought under control before treating residual pigmentation or scarring.

Rosacea can present with flushing, persistent redness, visible vessels, sensitivity, inflammatory bumps or a combination of symptoms.

Management may include trigger identification, prescription treatment, barrier-supportive skincare and carefully selected IPL or vascular laser treatment where appropriate.

Melasma is a chronic pigment condition influenced by factors such as hormones, ultraviolet exposure, heat, inflammation and genetic susceptibility.

Treatment usually requires a long-term plan combining strict sun protection, targeted skincare and, where appropriate, prescription treatment. Carefully selected laser or peel treatments may sometimes be incorporated, but are not suitable for every patient.

Assessment of dry, itchy, irritated or inflamed skin, including eczema, contact dermatitis and skin-barrier disruption.

Treatment focuses on identifying possible triggers, calming inflammation, restoring barrier function and developing a practical skincare and medical-management plan.

Perioral dermatitis commonly causes small inflamed bumps, redness, dryness or sensitivity around the mouth, nose or eyes.

It may be aggravated by certain skincare products or topical steroids and often requires a simplified routine alongside prescription treatment.

Seborrhoeic dermatitis may cause redness, flaking, itching or irritation around the scalp, eyebrows, sides of the nose, ears or facial hair.

Treatment may involve medicated washes or creams, anti-inflammatory treatment and a maintenance plan to reduce recurrent flare-ups.

We can assess selected inflammatory skin concerns, including psoriasis and recurrent areas of scaling, redness or irritation.

Where a condition is extensive, severe or requires specialist investigation or systemic treatment, we can help direct you to the most appropriate referral pathway.

Not every skin concern fits neatly into a familiar category.

A medical consultation may be appropriate for persistent rashes, itching, inflammation, recurrent folliculitis or other unexplained changes. Where further testing, biopsy or specialist review is required, this will be discussed with you.

Assessment of new, changing or unusual moles and skin lesions, as well as full skin cancer checks where appropriate.

If you have a lesion that is evolving, symptomatic or concerning, we recommend booking a dedicated mole or skin cancer assessment. You can learn more about this service on our Moles and Skin Cancer Checks page.
