Our Skin Condition Services
Eczema
A chronic condition characterised by itchy, inflamed skin. Dr. Karpath provides personalised treatment plans to manage flare-ups and bring long-term relief.
Dermatitis & Rashes
Skin inflammation often results from allergens or irritants. We help patients identify triggers and develop effective treatment strategies to reduce discomfort and prevent recurrence.
Skin Infections
Infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses — such as ringworm, shingles, or bacterial abscesses — are accurately diagnosed and treated to restore skin health.
Acne
Acne can affect self-confidence and leave lasting scars. Dr. Karpath offers comprehensive treatment strategies, from medical therapies to procedural options, to control breakouts and reduce scarring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to see a dermatologist, or can Dr. Karpath treat my skin condition?
Dr. Karpath is a GP with experience in managing a wide range of skin conditions. If specialist care is required, she will coordinate a referral to a dermatologist.
Can you remove moles, skin tags, or warts in the practice?
Yes. Minor procedures such as mole checks, biopsies, wart removal, and skin tag removal are safely performed in-practice under local anaesthetic.
How do I know if a mole is dangerous?
If a mole changes in shape, colour, or size, or becomes painful or itchy, it’s important to have it checked. Dr. Karpath offers full skin cancer screening and biopsy when needed.
Do you treat acne and acne scars?
Yes. We provide medical management for acne and offer treatments to reduce breakouts and prevent scarring.
Are treatments for eczema or psoriasis long-term?
Chronic skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis can’t always be “cured,” but they can be effectively managed with personalised treatment plans.
Can children be treated for skin conditions here?
Yes. Dr. Karpath treats both adults and children for common skin concerns such as eczema, rashes, and infections.
