Conditions

Acne

Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point. It causes spots, oily skin and sometimes skin that's hot or painful to touch.

ADHD

With support and treatment, people with ADHD can learn to manage their symptoms effectively and live a fulfilling and healthy life.

Ageing Skin

One of the most visible signs of ageing is changes in the skin – fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, age spots and much more.

Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death for men and women globally.

Cysts

A skin cyst is a fluid-filled lump just underneath the skin. It's common and harmless, and may disappear without treatment.

Depression

Most people go through periods of feeling down, but when you’re depressed you feel persistently sad for weeks or months, rather than just a few days.

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN) is a benign epidermal growth that presents as hyperpigmented or skin-colored papules that develop on the face and neck beginning in adolescence.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person's blood sugar level to become too high.

Excess Hair

Hirsutism (HUR-soot-iz-um) is where women have thick, dark hair on their face, neck, chest, tummy, lower back, buttocks or thighs.

Fatigue

Fatigue is a feeling of constant tiredness or weakness and can be physical, mental or a combination of both. It can affect anyone, and most adults will experience fatigue at some point in their life.

General Health

Healthy living = Eating a balanced diet. Healthy weight. Exercise. Quitting smoking. Drinking less alcohol.

Hyper Pigmentation

Hyperpigmentation isn’t necessarily a condition but a term that describes skin that appears darker.

Irregular Periods

Some people might have a less regular cycle, and experience a different cycle each month (this is often the case when girls first start their period).

Lesions

A skin lesion refers to any skin area that has different characteristics from the surrounding skin, including color, shape, size, and texture.

Long Covid

Most people with coronavirus (COVID-19) feel better within a few days or weeks of their first symptoms and make a full recovery within 12 weeks.

Loss of Muscle Mass

Muscle atrophy can occur due to malnutrition, age, genetics, a lack of physical activity or certain medical conditions. Disuse (physiologic) atrophy occurs when you don't use your muscles enough.

Menopause

Menopause is when your periods stop due to lower hormone levels. This usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55.

Menopause and Long Covid

For most of the COVID pandemic it has been recognised that women were at a lower risk from serious illness with COVID19 than their male counterparts.

Milia

A milium cyst is a small, white bump that typically appears on the nose and cheeks. These cysts are often found in groups. Multiple cysts are called Milia.

Moles

Moles occur when cells in the skin grow in a cluster instead of being spread throughout the skin. These cells are called melanocytes, and they make the pigment that gives skin its natural color.

Palpitations

Heart palpitations are heartbeats that can become noticeable. You may or may not develop other symptoms at the same time.

PCOs

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that affects how a woman's ovaries work.

Perimenopause

Perimenopause symptoms can start as early as 30 years and last from a few months to several years. The average duration of perimenopause is about four years, but some women can experience perimenopause for up to ten years before menopause.

Red Veins

Telangiectasia varicose veins – also known as thread veins or spider veins, these are small clusters of blue or red veins that sometimes appear on your face or legs; they're harmless and, unlike trunk varicose veins, do not bulge underneath the surface of the skin.

Saggy Skin

As we age, it’s normal to experience changes – even those we don’t welcome with open arms. Loose or saggy skin around the face, neck, and chest can be one of these changes.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are small growths that hang off your skin. They're common and harmless, but can be removed if they're bothering you.

Spider Naevi

Spider Angioma, also known as Spider Naevus or spider telangiectasia, is a vascular lesion characterized by anomalous dilatation of end vasculature found just beneath the skin surface.

Stress

Stress is how we react when we feel under pressure or threatened. It usually happens when we are in a situation that we don't feel we can manage or control.

Thread Veins

Medically called 'telangiectasia', thread veins on the legs are very small blood vessels within the living layer of the skin (the dermis) that have become dilated and visible.

Thyroid

An underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) is where your thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. Common signs of an underactive thyroid are tiredness, weight gain and feeling depressed.

Weight Gain

Many women in perimenopause and early post menopause years gain fat mass as their oestrogen levels drop. Women of childbearing age tend to store fat in the lower body (making them 'pear-shaped'), while men and postmenopausal women store fat around the abdomen ('apple-shaped').
