Skin Diseases

Skin diseases can often be uncomfortable or painful, ongoing, and destructive for self-confidence, particularly when your condition affects your work or quality of life. We welcome you to book with one of our experienced physicians including our specialist Dermatologists to discuss the range of options available to you.

Areas of Concern

Dermatitis

Skin inflammation that can present anywhere on the body, Dermatitis presents as red, inflamed, dry, itchy skin, sometimes the cause of which is unknown. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic condition that requires management, and contact dermatitis refers to an inflammatory response provoked in response to a topical trigger.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis usually exhibits as red, scaly patches on the elbows, knees, trunk and scalp, and tends to come and go in cycles.

Eczema

The words “eczema” and “dermatitis” are frequently used interchangeably – both are a generalised term for skin inflammation.

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a skin disease that causes loss of skin colour anywhere on the body, usually starting in small patches and spreading.

Fungal Diseases

While it can be embarrassing to seek help and treatment for fungal diseases, sadly they don’t tend to go away on their own and can spread quickly. Fungal diseases can develop on the feet (Athlete’s foot or tinea pedis) groin (tinea cruris) nails (tinea unguium) or body (tinea corporis). The latter is also referred to as ringworm, due to the distinct red ring shapes that appear on the skin – which certainly isn’t an actual worm!
