Skin problems: diagnosis and care
From fungal infections and itching to eczema and recurring rashes, we look at what is happening, explain it simply and plan care. If your condition needs a specialist or tests, we will tell you.
How it works
Many skin problems look alike. A red, itchy, ring-shaped patch may be a fungal infection (ringworm, “daad”), eczema or psoriasis, and each needs a different treatment. Using the wrong cream, especially a steroid mixed with antifungal and antibiotic, can make a fungal infection spread and keep coming back.
We examine the skin, ask how it started and what you have already used, and explain what it is in plain words. Treatment may include creams, tablets and simple habit changes. If a test or a specialist opinion would help, we tell you.

Results and how long they last
Itching often eases within days. Fungal infections need the full course, usually several weeks, even after the skin looks clear. Eczema and psoriasis are long-term conditions that can be kept calm with the right routine.

The cost is usually a consultation plus medicines. Follow-up visits are kept short.

Questions people ask
Why does my fungal infection keep coming back?
Often the treatment was stopped early or clothes stayed damp. We help you break the cycle.
Why should I not use creams from the chemist on my own?
Many popular creams contain strong steroids. They hide the rash for a while, then it returns bigger. Over time they can thin and mark the skin.
Is ringworm contagious?
Yes. It spreads through shared towels, clothes and close contact, so wash clothes separately and treat everyone affected.
