Areas of expertise
Medical Dermatology
Diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair and nail conditions using a clinical, evidence-led approach.
What this covers
Medical dermatology at TrueDerm covers the day-to-day skin, hair and nail concerns that bring most patients into the clinic — acne and acne scarring, eczema and other forms of dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal and bacterial skin infections, allergic reactions, and hair or nail disorders. These are treated as medical conditions first, with cosmetic concerns addressed once the underlying issue is under control.
How a consultation works
Dr. Khan begins every consultation with a detailed history — how long the concern has been present, what's been tried already, any relevant family or medical history — followed by a hands-on clinical examination. Where needed, this is supported by dermoscopy or lab investigations, so that treatment is based on an accurate diagnosis rather than a guess.
Ongoing management
Conditions like eczema and psoriasis are usually long-term rather than one-time fixes. Treatment plans are built with this in mind, with periodic follow-up to adjust medication, track flare-ups, and refine the approach as the skin responds over time.
