Eczema

Eczema, a common skin inflammation, can be hereditary or non-hereditary, causing itching and redness. Early management is vital to prevent skin infections.

Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis affects around 3% of the population. Treatment depends on underlying causes like overactive thyroid, diabetes, infections, or menopause.

Female Genital Skin Conditions

These are very common & are not necessarily related to sexually transmitted diseases. The external genital organ of a woman is known as vulva. Symptoms may include redness, itchiness, pain and ulceration.

Moles

Moles (melanocytic naevi) are usually small coloured spots (groups of melanocytes) on the skin, they are usually flat and round with a smooth edge, but can be raised, smooth, rough and have hair growing from them.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis, impacting about 2% of the population, causes red, flaky patches with silvery scales. While no cure exists, treatments can improve symptoms and appearance.

Rosacea

Rosacea, common in ages 30-60, causes redness, flushing, bumps, and can affect fair-skinned individuals. Treatments are available for management.

Seborrhoeic Keratosis

Seborrhoeic keratoses are common harmless skin growths, often pigmented and more prevalent with age. They can be itchy and catch on clothing, sometimes seen as unsightly, particularly on the face.

Skin Cancer

Two skin cancer types: melanoma and non-melanoma, like basal cell carcinoma (BCC). BCC, common in the UK, is usually treated with surgical removal, discussed with a dermatologist.

Skin Tags

Skin tags, common soft lesions resembling warts, often appear in skin folds. Generally harmless, treatments like cryotherapy and shaving/snipping are simple and effective if needed.

Sun Damage

Freckles, common in fair-skinned individuals, result from melanin build-up, often fading in winter. No treatment is usually needed, but concerns can be discussed with a dermatologist.

Urticaria

Urticaria (hives) causes itchy, pink or white weals with redness. Clearing within 24 hours, new ones may persist for weeks due to triggers like infections or allergens. It may require treatment during active episodes.

Viral Warts

Viral warts, caused by HPV, are common benign skin growths that can spread through skin contact. Treatment requires patience, as warts may take time to eliminate and can be uncomfortable.

Solar Lentigo

A lentigo is a darker skin area from sun damage, often related to age. Found on sun-exposed areas, they may be a cosmetic concern. Treatments include cryotherapy, hydroquinone creams, and lasers.
