One of the most common issues we see at the clinic is skin problems. We believe that healthy, radiant skin is essential to overall well-being.
Our expert team is here to help you understand, manage, and treat a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, as well as other issues such as rashes and discolouration.
The main causes of skin problems include allergic reactions, such as those triggered by food allergens or insect bites, as well as exposure to extreme temperatures like cold or heat. Infections, such as the common cold or flu, can also affect the skin.
Certain medications, including over-the-counter painkillers (NSAIDs) or antibiotics, may contribute to skin issues. In some cases, the cause may even be an unknown trigger or an autoimmune condition.
Typical symptoms of dermatological issues include:
The skin is the body’s largest organ and performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature, producing vitamin D, protecting against trauma, toxins, and bacteria, and controlling the loss of vital substances. It consists of two main layers: the dermis and the epidermis.
Common skin conditions in adults include acne, cellulitis, vasculitis, vitiligo, folliculitis, warts, psoriasis, skin cancer, and shingles (herpes zoster). In children, conditions such as chickenpox, eczema, measles, impetigo, and nappy rash are most common.
If you notice any skin changes, or are suffering from any of the symptoms listed above, come and talk to one of our doctors.

On the online booking engine select the “appointment type” you need.
You will be seen by one of our friendly doctors or trained clinicians.
Note down specific symptoms, including when they started, triggers, and any changes in your skin. Record your diet, lifestyle habits, and any recent changes, as these can affect your skin health.
Explain your symptoms in detail and provide any relevant history. The healthcare professional will examine your skin, which may include a visual inspection and potentially diagnostic tests. You might undergo tests such as skin biopsies, allergy tests, or blood tests to accurately diagnose the condition.
The healthcare professional will discuss the results with you. If medication is prescribed, clarify any doubts about the treatment process, potential risks, and how to follow the prescribed regimen. Be sure to follow the prescribed medication or skincare routine.
