About our dermatological services

The purpose of a consultation with a dermatologist at our Leicester clinic is to investigate the development of certain skin conditions, including: eczema, psoriasis, acne, alopecia, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), fungal infections (skin and / or nails), rosacea, skin lesions, vitiligo, lichen planus and sclerosis, warts, blistering skin conditions, urticaria / angio-oedema, connective tissue disorder, Bowen’s disease and infestations.

At the consultation you will be examined by the doctor who will be able to identify and diagnose the existing condition. In many cases a dermatologist intervenes when the patient does not respond to the treatment advised by a doctor, and the patient will be referred in order to receive more specialist advice and treatment solutions.

The dermatologist will be able to follow up with the patient on a regular basis, monitoring the effectiveness of the current treatment. Plans for treating patients with skin problems are tailored to the individual and may change over time, depending on how well the patient responds.
