May 11, 2022 By Sandy

Does losing weight improve skin conditions?

April 20, 2022 By Sandy

Waxing lyrical about history

March 6, 2022 By Sandy

Ever since the children were little, we’ve generally gone on holidays which have involved chucking everything in the boot of the car and just driving until we reached our destination.  Initially the car was stuffed with car seats, potties and travel cots and obviously over the years this has changed … [Read more...] about Waxing lyrical about history

The pros and cons of fragrance

February 1, 2022 By Sandy

We all want to smell nice, that’s why there is such a massive perfume industry!  It adds that va va voom to your personal wardrobe, it makes a statement, it can even identify you as a unique individual.  Unfortunately, dermatologically approved products should never contain fragrance.  Anyone with a … [Read more...] about The pros and cons of fragrance

A blood biomarker for acne scarring?

January 1, 2022 By Sandy

If the COVID pandemic has taught us one scientific thing, hopefully it is about the power of RNA based vaccines and their impact in diseases because of their shorter manufacturing times and their greater effectiveness.   It was interesting therefore to read of another use of RNA, namely … [Read more...] about A blood biomarker for acne scarring?

Patches, cups and Covid

December 1, 2021 By Sandy

This is my last blog post for 2021 and one would have hoped that by now, we would be talking about something other than COVID-19.  I think we can all unanimously agree that 2020 was a bit of a write-off and certainly I know that a lot of my patients (and myself!) were hoping that 2021 would be the … [Read more...] about Patches, cups and Covid

October 1, 2021 By Sandy

Vitiligo and hearing loss…, pardon?

September 1, 2021 By Sandy

My husband has two common conditions.  He has vitiligo which is relatively stable and been going for some years and he has developed some sort of hearing loss in recent years.  Now, the standard rigmarole is for him to say “Pardon?” with a perplexed expression whenever we mention it and which then … [Read more...] about Vitiligo and hearing loss…, pardon?

Engine oil dermatitis

August 1, 2021 By Sandy

At the time of writing this blog, we are on our family holiday to Cumbria, opting for a UK based holiday because we’re both in professions where we can’t run the risk of us or the kids (not having been vaccinated) having to self isolate for 10 days upon our return.   Surprisingly, there … [Read more...] about Engine oil dermatitis
