In the UK, one of the most common reasons to present to the GP surgery is a skin problem – each year a quarter of the population will present to their GP for this.
Skin disease is the second most common complaint in adults! And while some skin complaints can be helped with over the counter products – some do need that extra medical knowledge to get to the bottom of!
Chronic and genetically programmed skin conditions such as rosacea present in adulthood and become more troublesome as skin ages and hormone get unbalanced. But treatment of these is still regrettably considered cosmetic 😞 but they cause significant discomfort, physiological trauma and can impair social functioning.
If you are tired of living with a skin condition which is bringing you down, but are nervous to go to your GP about it for fear of seeming ‘silly’ or ‘vain’ (which you are not!) then a consultation with Dr Aarti will be perfect for you. She will assess your skin and ask lots of questions including medical history, what previous treatments you have had and which products you are using/ have tired and formulate you a bespoke plan from there. This may include at home skin care or in clinic treatments with either Aarti or our skin therapist Jo. If there are things Aarti recommends which we do not offer, she can sign post you to the correct people and places!
