Other Dermatological Skin Conditions
Keratosis Pilaris
Keratosis pilaris is a common and harmless skin condition that causes tiny, rough bumps to appear on the skin. These bumps are usually found on the arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks and are caused by a buildup of keratin, a protein that protects the skin. This buildup blocks the hair follicles, leading to the characteristic texture.
We offer tailored treatments to improve the appearance of keratosis pilaris and restore smooth, healthy-looking skin. Book a consultation today and discover how our dermatologists can help you take control of your skin health.

Urticaria (Hives)
Urticaria, or hives is a common skin condition that produces an itchy rash. It tends to come and go and can last for a variable period of time. It is sometimes accompanied by angioedema, which is swelling deeper in the skin, typically affecting the lips and peri-orbital areas of the face, but which may also involve the upper airways. The condition can be acute (lasting less than 6 weeks) or chronic (lasting longer than 6 weeks). It may be caused by a trigger, but most cases of urticaria have no known cause.
The rash may occur anywhere on the body and often starts off as small round spots that quickly enlarge and spread. The rash can be intensely itchy, but usually only lasts minutes to hours and then disappears within 24 hours. Book a consultation today.
Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune condition where the skin loses its natural pigmentation due to the destruction of melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin color. This leads to the appearance of white patches on the skin, which can vary in size and location. While the exact cause of vitiligo remains unknown, it may sometimes develop following an injury, sunburn, or another external trigger, though in many cases, no specific cause is identifiable.
Our team of dermatologists provides tailored treatment options to manage and improve the appearance of vitiligo, with a focus on restoring pigmentation and minimising further progression. Book a consultation to learn more today.
