Clear diagnosis first
Then the right treatment.

Seven groups of skin conditions, from stubborn infections to lifelong disorders, diagnosed carefully and treated with an evidence-based plan. Many respond well once the cause is properly identified, and we explain every step.

01 Skin Infections

Find the cause, and treat that.

Fungal, bacterial, viral and parasitic infections can look alike, and the wrong cream often makes them worse. We identify the organism, prescribe the right treatment and advise on preventing a repeat. Steroid-misuse cases are common, and we gently taper those safely.

Best for

Ringworm and fungal rashes

Herpes and shingles

Scabies and lice

Recurrent or stubborn rashes

Boils and bacterial infections

Nail and scalp infections

Fine lines Fine lines

02 Eczema

Calm the itch, repair the barrier.

Eczema is a long-term condition of a weakened skin barrier and an overactive immune response. Treatment combines moisturisers, anti-inflammatory medication, trigger management and, where needed, advanced therapies. The aim is long stretches of calm skin with a clear plan for flare-ups.

Best for

Atopic dermatitis

Night-time itching

Contact dermatitis

Dry, itchy, cracked skin

Hand eczema

Infant and childhood eczema

03 Psoriasis

Manageable, with the right long-term plan.Manageable, with the right long-term plan.

Psoriasis is an immune-related condition that causes thick, scaly plaques and can affect nails and joints. Treatment ranges from topicals and phototherapy to oral and biologic medicines, chosen by severity and lifestyle. Most people reach good control with steady follow-up.

Best for

Scaly plaques

Flare-ups triggered by stress

Scalp psoriasisScalp psoriasis

Long-term control

Nail changes and pitting

Dehydration and tightness

Joint pain with skin disease

04 Vitiligo

Restore colour, with patience and precision.

Vitiligo appears when pigment cells are lost, leaving pale patches. Treatment aims to halt the spread and encourage repigmentation through topicals, narrow-band UVB phototherapy, excimer light and, for stable patches, surgical options. Earlier treatment generally gives better results.

Best for

New or spreading patches

Patches needing surgical repigmentation

Face and hand patches

Stable, long-standing patches

Children and adults

05 Urticaria

Hives explained, and kept quiet.

Urticaria shows up as itchy, raised welts that come and go, and in many people no single cause is found. We look for triggers, treat with antihistamines and other medicines where needed, and set out a plan for the chronic form. Swelling of the lips or eyes, or trouble breathing, needs urgent care.

Best for

Sudden itchy welts

Recurrent unexplained rashes

Chronic hives lasting weeks

Swelling of lips or eyelids

Pressure and heat

Food or drug reactions

06 Leprosy

Curable, when it is caught and treated early.

Leprosy is a bacterial infection that responds well to multidrug therapy, and it is not easily spread once treatment begins. Early signs include pale or reddish patches with reduced sensation. Prompt diagnosis prevents nerve damage, and we treat with dignity and care for the whole family.

Best for

Patches with loss of feeling

Reaction episodes

Numbness in hands or feet

Masseter slimming & teeth grinding

Numbness in hands or feet

Long-standing pale patches

07 Paediatric Dermatology

Gentle skin care for growing skin.

Children's skin is more delicate and reacts differently, so treatments are chosen carefully for each age. We manage birthmarks, rashes, eczema, infections and hair concerns in a calm, child-friendly setting and explain everything to parents in plain language.
