When to See a Specialist

A Dermatologist specializes in conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails. Consult a Dermatologist when skin problems persist despite over-the-counter treatments or when you notice concerning changes.

• •Persistent acne not responding to basic treatment
• •Rash lasting more than 2 weeks
• •Unusual mole — changing size, shape, or colour
• •Excessive hair loss or bald patches
• •Persistent itching without obvious cause
• •White or dark patches on skin
• •Nail changes — thickening, discolouration, or separation
• •Skin infection — boils, fungal infections, herpes

Seek urgent care for widespread rash with fever, severe allergic reaction (hives with swelling), or rapidly spreading skin infection with red streaks.
