Our Dermatology Department offers treatments on an outpatient and inpatient basis for:

  • – Eczema

    Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by dry, itchy and red patches. It often flares due to environmental triggers, allergens, or stress, and is commonly seen in children but can persist into adulthood.

    – Psoriasis 

    Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition where skin cells multiply rapidly, forming thick, red plaques with silvery scales. It can affect any part of the body and is often associated with joint pain (psoriatic arthritis). Triggers include stress, infections, and cold weather.

    – Lichen Planus 

    Lichen planus presents as flat, purple, itchy papules on the skin and mucous membranes. It is thought to be immune-mediated and can affect the nails and scalp, sometimes causing hair loss or nail ridging.

    – Acne and Pimples

    Acne is caused by blocked hair follicles due to excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It ranges from blackheads and whiteheads to inflamed pustules and cysts, often leading to scarring if untreated.

    – Keloids  

    Keloids are abnormal, raised scars that extend beyond the original wound. They occur more frequently in darker skin tones and can be itchy or painful, often forming after injury, surgery, or acne.

    – Scars  

    Scars form as part of the natural healing process after skin injury. They can be flat, raised (hypertrophic), depressed (atrophic), or pigmented, and may respond to treatments like laser therapy or microneedling.

    – Pigmentation Disorders (Melasma, Suntan, Acne Marks, Dark Circles)

    These conditions result in uneven skin tone due to sun damage, hormonal changes, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or lifestyle factors like lack of sleep or stress. Treatments include topical agents, chemical peels and laser therapy.

    – Depigmentation (Vitiligo, Leucoderma) 

    Vitiligo and leucoderma are characterised by white patches due to the loss of melanocytes. These conditions are often autoimmune and may be progressive, requiring treatment with phototherapy, topical steroids, or surgical options.

    – Blistering Disorders (Pemphigus, Bullous Pemphigoid)  

    Autoimmune disorders causing fragile blisters and erosions on the skin and mucous membranes. Pemphigus tends to be more severe and affects younger individuals, while bullous pemphigoid is more common in the elderly.

    – Drug Reactions (Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis) 

    Severe allergic reactions to medications that lead to skin peeling, blistering, and mucosal involvement. These are medical emergencies requiring hospitalisation and supportive care.

    – Infections (Fungal Infections, Cutaneous Tuberculosis, Leprosy, Herpes Zoster, Warts, STDs)

    Skin infections can be caused by various pathogens:  

    – Fungal: Ringworm, athlete’s foot and candidiasis.  

    – Tuberculosis & Leprosy: Chronic bacterial infections with skin and nerve involvement.  

    – Herpes Zoster: Reactivation of the chickenpox virus, causing painful blisters.  

    – Warts: Caused by HPV.  

    – STDs: Manifestations like genital warts, herpes and syphilitic rashes.

    – Vascular Disorders (Stasis Dermatitis, Vasculitis) 

    Conditions resulting from poor circulation or blood vessel inflammation. Stasis dermatitis causes leg swelling, itching and dark patches, while vasculitis leads to red or purple spots due to vessel inflammation.

    – Collagen Disorders (SLE, Scleroderma)  

    Autoimmune diseases affecting connective tissue.  

    – SLE (Lupus): Causes rashes, joint pain and systemic involvement.  

    – Scleroderma: Leads to skin thickening and hardening, and can involve internal organs.

    – Hair Disorders (Hair Fall, Male and Female Baldness, Alopecia Areata, Scarring Alopecia, Dandruff)  

    Hair concerns range from common hair fall and androgenic alopecia (baldness) to autoimmune hair loss (alopecia areata). Scarring alopecia leads to permanent loss. Dandruff involves scalp flaking due to seborrheic dermatitis.

    – Nail Disorders (Nail Infections)  

    Fungal, bacterial, or viral infections can deform or discolour nails. Common issues include onychomycosis, paronychia and nail dystrophies linked to psoriasis or eczema.

    – Alopecia Areata, Psoriasis and Eczema 

    These chronic inflammatory or autoimmune conditions may coexist, affecting both skin and scalp, often leading to itching, scaling, and hair loss.

    – Acanthosis Nigricans

    Characterised by dark, velvety skin in body folds, often linked to insulin resistance, obesity, hormonal disorders or certain medications.

    – Seborrheic Keratosis  

    Benign, wart-like skin growths that appear with ageing. They have a stuck-on, waxy appearance and usually require no treatment unless for cosmetic reasons.
