Comprehensive Services We Offer

Acne: Acne is an extremely common skin condition linked to hormonal changes during puberty, affecting individuals predominantly during their teenage years but potentially at any age. Research shows that around 95% of people aged 11 to 30 experience acne to some extent. In girls, it is most common from ages 14 to 17, while in boys it typically occurs between ages 16 to 19.

Atopic Eczema: Atopic Eczema, a common form of eczema, often runs in families and affects 20% of children in the UK, typically from an early age. Fortunately, most children outgrow this condition as they get older.

Urticaria: Also known as ‘nettle rash’ or ‘hives,’ urticaria presents as a red, itchy, and bumpy rash that can appear anywhere on the body. It is common, affecting around 20% of people at some point in their lives. Children may experience a single episode lasting a few days or several episodes over 4-6 weeks before it settles down.

Rashes: Various factors can cause rashes in babies and children. While most rashes are benign, parents should seek medical advice if their child appears seriously unwell alongside the rash. Common causes of childhood rashes include:

  • Slapped Cheek Syndrome
  • Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
  • Scarlet Fever
  • Measles
  • Heat Rash
  • Atopic Eczema
  • Hives
  • Ringworm
