If you are experiencing itchy, painful or any changes to your skin, it can be a genuine source of discomfort and concern. Many common skin problems can be managed at home. However, there are times when it’s essential to seek professional medical advice. A private consultation provides a direct and efficient way to get an expert diagnosis and treatment plan for a wide range of conditions, offering you peace of mind.

Why seek a specialist for your skin?

Many people consider a private consultation if they have a persistent rash, a mole that has changed in appearance, or a chronic skin condition that is not responding to standard treatments. A GP with an Extended Role in Dermatology has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating these conditions. This focused expertise allows for a more in-depth assessment and a broader range of treatment options than you might receive from a general practitioner. The private setting ensures a timely appointment and a focused consultation, allowing you to discuss your concerns in detail.

Common conditions and available services

At The Private Medical Group, the dermatology services are led by experienced GP clinicians. This includes Dr Robert White, a GP with an Extended Role in Dermatology and Skin Lesion Management. The practice is equipped to diagnose and manage a range of conditions, from common to more complex.

• Common skin conditions: Expert care is available for chronic and troublesome conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Assessment and management of various allergic skin conditions including allergic contact dermatitis, urticaria, and atopic dermatitis are also provided.
• Skin lesion assessment and removal: Advanced diagnostic tools like dermoscopy are used to examine moles, lesions, and other growths. This non-invasive technique helps to determine whether a lesion is a cause for concern. A skin biopsy or a lesion removal is a quick process which allows for laboratory analysis.
• Mole mapping: Full-body mole checks and mole mapping services are available, which are particularly beneficial for patients with many moles or a family history of skin cancer. By tracking changes over time, potential issues can be detected early.
• Cryotherapy: This procedure uses extreme cold to safely remove warts, verrucas and certain precancerous lesions.
