Who can benefit from a dermatology consultation?
Almost anyone can benefit from a dermatology consultation, whether you’re dealing with a medical skin concern, worried about changes to your skin, or simply looking for expert advice to keep your skin healthy. At Freyja Medical in Wrexham, our locum consultant dermatologists and specialist team provide tailored care for patients of all ages.
You may benefit from seeing a dermatologist if you:
- Have a new or changing mole – Early detection is vital when it comes to skin cancer. A dermatologist can check moles or lesions for signs of melanoma or other skin cancers, giving you peace of mind and arranging treatment if necessary.
- Struggle with persistent skin conditions – Chronic conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea often require more than over-the-counter remedies. A dermatologist can provide accurate diagnosis and prescribe effective treatments.
- Experience unexplained rashes or irritation – From allergies to infections, rashes can have many causes. Dermatologists use their expertise to identify the source and recommend the right management plan.
- Suffer from scalp or hair issues – Concerns such as hair thinning, alopecia, or persistent dandruff can be assessed and treated.
- Have concerns about ageing skin – Lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, or sagging skin can all be addressed with personalised treatment plans that combine medical knowledge with advanced aesthetic options. Please note, these are not treated within a dermatology consultation. For ageing and aesthetic-related concerns, we offer a free aesthetic consultation with our specialist nurses and doctors – click here to learn more.
- Want professional skincare advice – If you feel overwhelmed by products and treatments, you don’t need a dermatology consultation. Instead, you may benefit more from a free skincare consultation with one of our expert skin therapists, who can guide you towards medical-grade products and create a personalised routine tailored to your skin’s needs.
- Are worried about a family member’s skin – Dermatology care is not just for adults. Children and teenagers often struggle with conditions like eczema or acne, and early professional support can make a big difference. Elderly patients can also benefit from dermatology consultations, whether it’s managing fragile or thinning skin, monitoring sun damage, or addressing age-related skin concerns.

What types of skin problems can be treated by a dermatologist?
Dermatologists are highly trained medical doctors who specialise in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. At Freyja Medical in Wrexham, our consultant dermatologists treat both chronic skin conditions and acute or surgical concerns, providing expert care tailored to your needs.
Common skin conditions treated by our dermatologists include:
- Acne and teenage pimples – including persistent, scarring, or treatment-resistant breakouts
- Eczema and dermatitis – itchy, inflamed, or sore skin that needs ongoing management
- Psoriasis – red, scaly patches that require specialist care
- Rosacea – facial redness, flushing, and acne-like flare-ups
- Hair and scalp problems – such as hair loss (alopecia), dandruff, or scalp infections
- Nail disorders – fungal nail infections, brittle nails, or nail changes linked to skin disease
Surgical and acute skin problems we can help with:
- Changing or suspicious moles – full mole checks and expert assessment for potential skin cancer
- Skin cancer – diagnosis and treatment, including minor skin cancer surgery
- Cysts and lipomas – removal of benign lumps and bumps
- Skin tags – safe medical removal for cosmetic or comfort reasons
- Warts and verrucas – effective treatment options when over-the-counter remedies don’t work
- Other skin lesions – including keratoses, benign growths, and unusual rashes or lumps
At Freyja Medical, our dermatologists also carry out skin surgery and minor procedures on-site, meaning you can have diagnosis and treatment in one place. For cosmetic concerns such as ageing skin, pigmentation, or scarring, we may recommend an aesthetic consultation so our specialist team can advise on medical-led skin treatments.

What can I expect during a dermatology consultation?
A dermatology consultation at Freyja Medical in Wrexham is your opportunity to meet directly with a consultant dermatologist, who is a fully qualified medical doctor specialising in skin, hair, and nail conditions. Consultations are thorough, professional, and designed to give you a clear understanding of your skin health.
Here’s what typically happens during your appointment:
- Medical history – Your dermatologist will ask about your current concerns, symptoms, general health, family history of skin problems, and any treatments or skincare products you’ve already tried.
- Skin examination – A detailed examination of the affected area (and sometimes other parts of the skin if relevant) will be carried out to assess your condition.
- Diagnosis – In many cases, a diagnosis can be made during your first visit. If further tests are required, such as a skin biopsy, blood test, or dermatoscopic imaging, these will be explained clearly.
- Personalised treatment plan – Your dermatologist will recommend a tailored treatment plan, which may include prescription medication, topical treatments, lifestyle advice, or medical procedures. At Freyja Medical, our consultants can also provide skin surgery (for moles, cysts, lesions, and skin cancers) if needed.
- Opportunity to ask questions – You’ll have plenty of time to discuss your concerns, treatment options, and expected outcomes.
Consultations are designed to be clear, informative, and reassuring – giving you confidence that your skin concern is being managed by an expert.
At our Wrexham dermatology clinic, many patients book consultations for conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, suspicious moles, skin cancer checks, rashes, hair loss, and nail disorders. If your concern is more cosmetic, such as ageing skin or pigmentation, we recommend booking an aesthetic consultation instead, click here for more information.
How do I know if I need to see a dermatologist?
You may benefit from seeing a dermatologist if you have any skin, hair, or nail concerns that aren’t improving with over-the-counter products or GP advice. Dermatologists are medical doctors who specialise in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, ranging from common problems to more complex concerns.
You should consider booking an appointment with a dermatologist if you are experiencing:
- Persistent acne or teenage pimples that are not responding to standard treatments
- Eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea flare-ups affecting your quality of life
- Moles or skin lesions that are changing in size, shape, or colour (important for skin cancer checks)
- Rashes, infections, or unexplained skin irritation that don’t settle quickly
- Hair loss, scalp problems, or nail disorders that require expert assessment
- Cosmetic or aesthetic concerns such as ageing skin, pigmentation, or scarring can often be improved with advanced medical-led aesthetic treatments. For these concerns, we recommend booking an aesthetic consultation rather than a dermatology consultation. This allows our aesthetic specialists to assess your skin and create a personalised treatment plan. Click here for more information
While GPs can treat many minor skin issues, a consultant dermatologist has the training and experience to provide a precise diagnosis and advanced treatment plan. At Freyja Medical in Wrexham, our consultant dermatologists also perform skin surgery and minor procedures where needed, ensuring you receive comprehensive care in one place.
If you’re unsure whether your concern requires a dermatologist, we recommend booking a consultation. Our specialists will give you a clear diagnosis and tailored treatment options, so you can feel confident about your next steps.
What types of cosmetic dermatology services do you offer?
We offer a range of cosmetic dermatology services, including Botox and dermal fillers, chemical peels, microneedling, and laser treatments to help you achieve beautiful skin.

This makes it much easier to access specialist advice, diagnosis, and treatment for your skin concerns without delay.
