General Dermatology

A rash, dark patch or breakout can have more than one cause. Understanding the condition is the first step toward effective care.

From blackheads to painful deep breakouts, acne needs treatment matched to its type and severity. Early care may help limit scarring.

Melasma, sun spots and post-acne marks are not the same. Identifying the cause helps avoid treatments that can deepen pigmentation.

White patches require diagnosis. For vitiligo, treatment may focus on restoring pigment, slowing spread and follow-up care.

Persistent scaly or itchy patches may be psoriasis or lichen planus. Managing flare-ups and symptoms often needs ongoing care.

Recurring itch, hives and dry inflamed skin can point to different conditions. The right diagnosis guides relief and prevention of triggers.

Some persistent or unusual rashes need closer examination or tests to rule out an underlying inflammatory or autoimmune condition.

Rashes, eczema and scalp problems in children need age-appropriate evaluation and guidance for parents or caregivers.

Nail thickening, colour changes or shape changes can result from infection, injury or skin disease. Testing may be needed before treatment.

Ring-shaped rashes, scalp scaling and nail changes may be fungal—but not every itchy rash is. Confirm the cause before using creams.

The same symptom can have different causes. Your consultation determines whether medication, tests, procedures or simply guidance are needed.
