Dermatology

Dermatology is a branch of medicine dealing with the skin. It’s a speciality with both medical and surgical aspects.

Moles, skin lesions, acne and other skin conditions can be worrying and affect your confidence, so it’s important to seek advice from a Dermatologist. Dermatologists are specialist doctors who manage diseases related to skin, hair and nails and can advise on any cosmetic problems which might lead to clinical symptoms, such as a mole snagging on clothing and causing discomfort.

See our guides below for details of our dermatology treatments. To book your first appointment, complete our online booking form or call our Private Patient Team on 01580 242521.

Which dermatology treatments do we offer?

Our private dermatology consultation and diagnostic service is second to none, offering quick access to an initial consultation and diagnostics led by our expert Dermatologists. We’ll make sure you have all the information you need on the what, who, when, and where of your procedure.

Do we treat other dermatology conditions?

We also offer consultations, diagnosis and treatments for the following conditions:

  • Acne: Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point. It causes spots, oily skin and sometimes skin that's hot or painful to touch. Acne most commonly develops on the face, back and chest
  • Eczema: Eczema is the name for a group of conditions that cause skin to become itchy, dry and cracked. Atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis) is the most common form of eczema. It's usually a long-term condition, which develops most commonly in children before their first birthday, although it may also develop in adults. It can improve significantly, or even clear completely, in some children as they get older
  • Contact dermatitis: Contact dermatitis is a type of eczema triggered by contact with a particular substance. Contact dermatitis usually improves or clears up completely if the substance causing the problem is identified and avoided. Treatments are also available to help ease the symptoms
  • Excision of lesions for diagnostic purposes: A procedure to remove a skin lesion, in order to take a biopsy, and diagnose the condition or skin lesion to identify a potential treatment plan
