Consultant Dermatology Consultation

About this service

A consultant dermatology appointment is intended for diagnosis, a specialist opinion or management of a more complex or persistent skin concern. The consultation focuses on history, examination and a clear plan rather than guaranteeing treatment on the day.

What the pathway covers

• Detailed history and examination of the affected skin, hair or nails
• Discussion of likely diagnoses and appropriate investigations
• A treatment, monitoring or referral plan based on the findings

Before your appointment

• Bring a list of current and previously tried treatments
• Photographs showing earlier stages can be useful for intermittent conditions
• Remove makeup or products from the area where practical
