Dermatology

Overview

The team consists of one dermatologist and a dermatology nurse.

Initial consultations are longer to allow time for history taking, examination and to perform in-house microscopy.

We benefit from being part of a large multidisciplinary hospital, which allows us to involve other specialists, if needed, when managing more challenging cases, or cases with concurrent diseases.

Diagnostics and procedures

• In-house microscopy including cytology and examination of hair and skin samples
• Video-oto endoscopy
• Intradermal skin testing for patients with atopic dermatitis
• Skin biopsy sampling
• CT to assess for presence of middle ear disease

We see a wide range of conditions including:

• Parasitic diseases
• Bacterial and fungal skin infections, including resistant and unusual infections
• Allergic skin and ear disease
• Ectoparasitic conditions
• Alopecia
• Hormonal conditions
• Claw and nail disease
• Immune mediated conditions such as pemphigus foliaceus and discoid lupus erythematosus
