About the department

What dermatologists treat

Dermatology is the care of skin, hair and nails. A dermatologist treats acne and its scarring, hair fall, pigmentation and melasma, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infection and skin allergy, and checks moles and growths that have changed. Skin is also where several internal conditions first show, so a dermatologist may test for thyroid, iron or vitamin problems when the pattern suggests it.

When it is an emergency

A rapidly spreading rash with fever, blistering or peeling skin, swelling of the lips or tongue, or a rash that does not fade when pressed needs emergency assessment immediately.

When to see a dermatologist

These are the reasons people most often book this department. None of them is a diagnosis — that is what the consultation is for.

Acne that is leaving marks or scars
Hair fall that has lasted more than three months
A rash that keeps returning or is spreading
Itching that disturbs your sleep
A mole that has changed in size, shape, colour or is bleeding
A skin problem that over-the-counter creams have not helped
Tests and scans

What a consultation may include

Your doctor decides which of these, if any, actually answer the question — booking a scan before anyone has examined you often means the wrong scan.

  • Dermoscopy in the clinic
  • Skin scraping or fungal culture
  • Patch testing for contact allergy
  • Thyroid, iron and vitamin D tests for hair fall
  • Skin biopsy when the diagnosis is unclear
Questions, answered

Dermatology — common questions

Most acne treatments need six to twelve weeks before the benefit is clear, and skin can look slightly worse in the first few weeks. Stopping early is the commonest reason a course appears not to have worked.

No. Hair fall after illness, childbirth, crash dieting or a deficiency usually recovers once the cause is treated. Pattern hair loss behaves differently and is managed for the long term — telling them apart is the point of the consultation.

Often yes — good daylight and a close, steady photo go a long way. Moles, growths and anything needing dermoscopy or a sample should be seen in person.

No — come as you are, and bring the packs of everything you have applied, including home remedies. What has already been used changes both how the skin looks and what is prescribed next.
