Hair Loss
Hair loss, also known as alopecia, refers to the partial or complete loss of hair from the scalp or other parts of the body. It can affect individuals of all ages and genders and may lead to emotional distress and reduced self-confidence. Understanding the causes and available treatments is crucial for effectively addressing hair loss concerns.
Eczema
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that affects people of all ages. It is characterised by inflamed, itchy, and irritated skin. Eczema often presents as red, dry, and scaly patches that can appear anywhere on the body. While it can be challenging to manage, proper treatment and skincare can significantly improve the comfort and quality of life for individuals with eczema.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic immune driven skin condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. It is characterised by the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to the formation of thick, red, and often scaly patches on the skin's surface. These patches, known as plaques, can be itchy, painful, and sometimes even debilitating. Psoriasis is not contagious and can vary widely in severity, from mild to severe.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic and inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the facial area. It is characterised by episodes of flushing or persistent redness, often accompanied by the development of small blood vessels visible on the skin's surface (telangiectasia). Additionally, individuals with rosacea may experience the formation of papules, pustules, and in some cases, thickening of the skin, particularly on the nose (rhinophyma)
Warts
Warts are common, non-cancerous growths that appear on the skin's surface as a result of viral infections. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the skin through cuts or breaks. Warts can vary in appearance, from small, rough bumps to larger, cauliflower-like growths. While warts are generally harmless, they can be unsightly and may cause discomfort, especially when located in areas that experience friction or pressure.
Hyperhidrosis
​Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for temperature regulation. It can significantly impact a person's quality of life, causing discomfort, embarrassment, and social anxiety. Hyperhidrosis commonly affects areas like the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and face, leading to persistent wetness and potential skin-related complications.
