Dermatological Conditions

The skin, hair and nails are organs that both reflect a person's general health and directly affect their quality of life. Symptoms such as redness, itching, rashes, colour changes, sores or lumps may point to a simple skin problem in some cases and to an underlying systemic condition in others. For this reason, an accurate diagnosis is the first and most important step towards effective treatment.

In this section you will find the dermatological conditions most commonly encountered — from hair loss to skin tumours, from acne and rosacea to allergic conditions and eczema. Under each heading you can find information about the condition's symptoms, possible causes and current approaches to diagnosis and treatment; select the topic you are interested in to view the detailed content.
