£29.00 Read moreAlopecia Causes and Treatment: Alopecia areata is a condition where the immune system attacks its own hair follicles, which causes hair loss usually to the scalp and face. The hair follicles are present in the skin. It can affect people of any age and typically manifests as circular bald patches on the scalp or other parts of the body. In some cases, it can progress to total hair loss on the scalp (alopecia totalis) or complete loss of body hair (alopecia universalis).
If unsure of diagnosis, please speak to our clinicians who can provide potent topical corticosteroid treatment, if there is no evidence of hair regrowth. Please provide pictures of non-intimate areas if you choose the telephone consultation; pictures are not required for video consultation.

Shingles
£35.00 Read moreWorried you have Shingles? Let us help you.
What is Shingles?
Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection brought on by the chickenpox virus that affects a nerve and the skin around it. As a result, the affected area develops blistered itchy, painful rash. Only people who have previously experienced chickenpox can get shingles.
The virus stays in the nerves after the initial infection and causes shingles when it reawakens in one specific nerve. After the initial chickenpox infection, this can occur years or even decades later. The virus frequently re-emerges in these ways in patients with compromised immune systems, however it is unclear why. The duration of each case of shingles might range from a few weeks to a month.
Although there is no known cure for shingles, there are several therapies that can help make the discomfort it causes more bearable. You should speak to our clinician or your GP right away if you suspect that you have shingles.
