Dermatology

We are a team of doctors and nurses who offer advice on a wide variety of skin disease. We see most patients as outpatients, in a number of different locations;
Ward 25 at the Ulster hospital, Lagan Valley, Downe, Bangor and Ards Hospital.

We run services including Phototherapy, Patch Testing, Photo-dynamic Therapy, Laser (for some specific conditions), Skin Surgery and Mole Mapping (for a specific patient group). We have a range of specialised clinics including Complex Skin clinic, Urgent Rash clinic, Paediatric dermatology, Hair clinic, and a clinic for significantly immunosuppressed patients.

Attending a dermatology outpatient appointment is often for help with confirming a diagnosis of a skin problem, or to help improve the management. Sometimes we might need to take a skin biopsy during an appointment. These are very straightforward procedures carried out under local anaesthetic. Information on what to expect is available in the leaflet attached.

For more information on skin surgery under local anaesthetic click here to view an information leaflet for patients. Please be aware that not all patients will require a biopsy or skin surgery.
