Many people associate melanoma with sun exposure, but certain types can appear in areas rarely exposed to UV light.

Because these areas are often overlooked, diagnosis can be delayed.

Checking all areas of your skin - including hands, feet and nails - is an important part of early detection.

If you notice any new or changing marks, book a consultation with one of our expert dermatologists at The Skin Care network.

Why Surgery Alone Isn’t Enough for Pilonidal Cyst

Surgery can remove a pilonidal cyst - but it doesn’t always stop it coming back.

🔁 Recurrence is common because loose hair can still collect in the area, re-enter the skin and trigger new inflammation, even after successful surgery.

That’s where laser hair removal plays a key role 👇

✨ How laser complements surgical care:
🔹Targets and reduces hair growth at the source
🔹Minimises loose hairs that cause repeat infection
🔹Supports long-term prevention, not just short-term treatment
🔹Reduces the need for ongoing shaving or creams

✅ When combined with good hygiene and follow-up care, laser hair removal helps lower recurrence risk and improve long-term outcomes.

Persistent itching that won’t settle can be more than dry skin — and scratching rarely fixes the cause.

Ongoing or widespread itch may be linked to conditions such as eczema, allergic reactions, infections, inflammatory skin disease or nerve-related causes. In some cases, itch appears without an obvious rash, making diagnosis more complex.

At Skin Care Network, consultant dermatologists focus on identifying why the itch is happening before recommending treatment — helping avoid trial-and-error creams that don’t address the underlying issue.

✔ Careful clinical assessment
✔ Targeted treatment based on cause
✔ Safe, evidence-based management plans

Effective itch treatment starts with the right diagnosis.

Long-term sun exposure can leave lasting marks on the skin — sometimes years later.

Actinic keratoses are rough, scaly patches caused by cumulative sun damage. While not skin cancer, they can progress if left untreated.

Early assessment allows dermatologists to monitor or treat these lesions before they become more serious.

At Skin Care Network, sun-damaged skin is assessed with prevention and early intervention in mind ☀️

Changes in your nails can be easy to ignore — but they often reflect what’s happening beneath the surface.

Discolouration, thickening, splitting or lifting of the nail can be caused by a wide range of conditions, including inflammation, infection, trauma or underlying skin disease. Many nail disorders look similar, which is why treatment doesn’t always work without a clear diagnosis.

At Skin Care Network, nail disorders are assessed by consultant dermatologists to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment — rather than relying on guesswork.

Not every skin concern needs an in-person visit.

Teledermatology allows patients to access consultant dermatology advice remotely, using secure image review and clinical information. It can be useful for initial assessment, follow-up care, or advice on next steps.

Remote care doesn’t replace face-to-face appointments — but it can make specialist input more accessible.

At Skin Care Network, teledermatology is used carefully and appropriately, guided by clinical judgement.

Scars don’t always fade on their own — but they can be improved.

Different scars need different approaches. Acne scars, surgical scars and traumatic scars all behave differently and respond to different treatments.

Options may include:
✔ Laser therapy
✔ Medical needling
✔ Prescription treatments

Assessment matters. Treating scars effectively means understanding their depth, age and cause.

Chemical peels aren’t just about glow — they’re medical treatments with real skin benefits ✨

Used correctly, peels can help improve acne, pigmentation, uneven texture and early signs of ageing by encouraging controlled skin renewal.

✔ Different strengths for different concerns
✔ Prescribed to suit your skin type
✔ Performed under medical supervision

At Skin Care Network, peels are selected by clinicians — not off-the-shelf solutions.

Ongoing itching, rashes or eczema that doesn’t settle can sometimes be caused by an allergic skin reaction — even to products you’ve used for years.

Patch testing is used to diagnose allergic contact dermatitis, a delayed skin allergy caused by substances that come into contact with the skin. These reactions don’t show up immediately and can be difficult to identify without specialist testing.

At Skin Care Network, patch testing involves applying small amounts of potential allergens to the skin and assessing the reaction over several days. This helps identify which substances are triggering symptoms — so they can be avoided going forward.

✔ Helps confirm allergic contact dermatitis
✔ Identifies specific triggers
✔ Supports long-term skin control rather than trial-and-error treatment

Understanding the cause is often the first step towards calmer skin.

Laser treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all — and the technology matters.

Different laser systems are designed to target specific skin concerns. Some lasers are used to reduce redness and visible blood vessels, others to treat pigmentation, acne scarring, sun damage or uneven skin tone. The wavelength, depth and delivery method all affect results and safety.

That’s why laser treatment should always start with expert assessment — not a generic setting or package.

At Skin Care Network, consultant-led care ensures the right laser is selected for your skin type, condition and treatment goals, helping achieve effective results while protecting skin health.

Botulinum toxin is a medical treatment — not just a cosmetic trend.

In cosmetic dermatology, it’s commonly used to soften dynamic lines while maintaining natural facial movement. Careful assessment and precise dosing are key to achieving balanced, subtle results.

At Skin Care Network, treatments are planned and delivered by experienced clinicians with a medical understanding of facial anatomy.

Subtle results start with expert care.

Not all skin problems can be diagnosed by sight alone.

Some conditions look similar on the surface but behave very differently underneath. In these cases, advanced diagnostic tools can help dermatologists assess the skin more accurately and guide the right treatment.

✔ Helps clarify uncertain diagnoses
✔ Supports targeted, appropriate treatment
✔ Avoids unnecessary or ineffective therapies

At Skin Care Network, consultant dermatologists use specialist diagnostic techniques to support safe, informed care.
