Brisbane Skin works compassionately with a wide range of patients struggling with acne in its active state, and an equal number who are eager to reduce acne scarring. For the latter group, the visible scars on their faces can be just as traumatic as a face full of pimples.
The terms eczema and dermatitis encompass a range of medical conditions that present as inflamed skin. These are very common conditions that affect up to 20% of children to various degrees, and many adults.
Keloids are a type of raised scar, they are often pink, red, skin coloured or darker than the surrounding tissue. They are the result of too much collagen and scar tissue formation, predominantly an overly aggressive healing response to a wound.
Dermatology conditions in babies and children may include rashes, hives, warts, acne, birthmarks and more. These conditions may be caused by dermatitis, viral infections, bacterial infections, fungal infections or other diseases. Treatment varies from anti-itch creams to pain relievers to antibiotics, depending on the condition. Our Paediatric Dermatologist's can usually easily diagnose the skin condition and get your child started on any treatment, if necessary.
Our Patch Testing procedure aims to identify the underlying causes of inflammatory skin conditions like dermatitis by examining the potential substances or allergens involved. It is crucial to note that Patch Testing differs significantly from skin prick tests, which are primarily useful for addressing hay fever and allergies related to grasses, pets, or molds.
Phototherapy, also known as a light treatment, is commonly used to treat a wide range of skin conditions and illnesses, including eczema, psoriasis, and vitiligo. If you have these conditions, seek advice from the Brisbane Skin team and narrow-band UVB may be one of the treatment options.
Psoriasis is a very common skin condition affecting more than 1 million Australians that is often visible as inflammation and silvery scale and has both internal and external triggers and effects.
Rosacea and acne rosacea are common inflammatory skin disorders that affect the face. Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory condition usually affecting the face, but occasionally extending to areas such as the neck and chest. Thankfully there are rosacea treatment options to help!
