Dermatology Clinic
Welcome to our young persons dermatology clinic, where we understand the unique skin challenges that young people face today. Our clinic specialises in providing expert dermatological care for addressing common concerns like acne, warts and verrucaes and other skin issues prevalent among adolescents.
Skin Care
We recognize that many young individuals, particularly girls, have a strong interest in exploring makeup and skincare but often lack the necessary knowledge about their skin’s needs. This can lead to confusion and missteps in their skincare routines. Moreover, we understand the challenges parents face in guiding and advising their children without a clear path forward. We bridge this gap by offering personalised consultations, tailored treatments, and educational resources to empower young people and their families with the confidence and insight needed for healthy, radiant skin. Join us, and take the first step toward achieving a balanced and informed skincare journey.
Warts and Verrucas
Treating warts and verrucas in children is beneficial for several reasons. Firstly, it alleviates any discomfort or pain they may experience, especially if the wart is located on a pressure point like the sole of the foot. Early treatment can also prevent the spread of these contagious skin growths to other parts of the body or to other children. Furthermore, addressing warts and verrucas can help avoid potential embarrassment or self-consciousness that might affect a child’s confidence and social interactions. By managing these skin conditions effectively, parents can ensure that their child’s physical health and emotional well-being are prioritized.
Acne Treatment for Teenagers
We offer acne treatment for both teenagers and adults.
Teenagers often struggle with acne due to hormonal changes during puberty, which can lead to an increase in oil production in the skin. Many common treatments offered can include tablets as well as a strict cleansing routine, however, treatments like some treatments can be quite harsh and have a host of side-effects. Common side effects include dryness, redness, and peeling of the skin, which can be quite uncomfortable for some users. Additionally, retinoids can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, leading to a higher risk of sunburn. In some cases, users may experience an initial worsening of acne, known as the “retinoid purge,” before seeing improvements. To minimize these side effects, it’s advisable to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase usage while ensuring adequate skin hydration and sun protection.
Our treatment is safe and effective and we only use the most gentle skin care that offers the best results.
Verruca and Wart Treatment
Warts and verrucas, common skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), often affect young people but can be effectively treated. There is a variety of effective treatments that can help your child. These treatments, while effective, are best supervised by a healthcare professional to ensure safety and efficacy. Early treatment not only helps prevent the spread of warts to other parts of the body or to other individuals but also boosts self-esteem by addressing potential cosmetic concerns. Furthermore, resolving these conditions swiftly can reduce discomfort, allowing young people to participate in physical activities without hindrance.
