Our skin clinic focuses on 5 areas:

1. Eczema and Psoriasis

2. Seborrheic Dermatitis (Dandruff)

3. Cryotherapy (freezing of skin lesions/liquid nitrogen)

4. Melasma

5. Unknown skin lesions - new rashes, allergic reactions, bumps, lumps and itches.

How we diagnose and manage skin conditions:

1. A thorough history can identify most causes of skin complaints.

2. A comprehensive full medical examination. The skin is often the window to a patients underlying health- many skin complaints in patients may be caused by undiagnosed cholesterol issues, liver issues, hormonal imbalances and cosmetic reactions.

3. Conservative management plans in low risk patients (focusing on pyhtotherapies or ‘natural’ remedies).

4. Further special investigations in select patients- including but not limited to shave biopsies, punch biopsies, elliptical or excision biopsies and blood testing.

5. Comprehensive treatment plans with or without referrals to the necessary specialists.

*Some of our phytotherapies (natural treatments) include rooibos, African potato, buckwheat, horse chestnut, gentian, dandelion, wormwood, burdock, oregon grape root, gotu kola and sarsaparilla based formulations.
