Skin complaints

About this condition

Skin complaints cover a wide range — dryness, rashes, recurring patches, changes in pigmentation, and reactions to soaps or fabrics. Many are long-running and flare with weather, stress or contact with particular substances.

How a consultation works

The doctor asks when it started, what makes it better or worse, and what you have already used on it, then examines the affected skin directly. Where a complaint looks like it needs a dermatologist or a laboratory test, the doctor will tell you so.
