Dermatology (Skin, Hair and Nails)

What Is Dermatology?

Our Dermatology team provides comprehensive care for conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. Whether you are seeking treatment for a persistent skin condition, concerns about hair loss, a changing mole or cosmetic skin issues, our dermatologists offer personalised care using evidence-based medical and surgical treatments.

From common conditions such as acne and eczema to more complex disorders including psoriasis, autoimmune skin diseases and skin cancer, we focus on accurate diagnosis and treatment tailored to your individual needs.

When Should You See a Dermatologist?

Many skin concerns improve with self-care, but persistent or recurring symptoms should be evaluated by a dermatologist. Consider making an appointment if you experience:

• Acne that does not improve with over-the-counter products

• A rash that persists for more than two weeks

• A mole that changes in size, colour or shape

• Ongoing hair loss or scalp problems

• Chronic itching or eczema flare-ups

• Nail changes that do not improve

• A skin growth that bleeds, enlarges or does not heal

Early assessment can help prevent complications and allow treatment to begin sooner.
