Dermatology, lump, wart or mole consultation Do you have a troublesome rash that keeps reappearing? Perhaps you suspect you have a skin allergy of some sort. Are you suffering from frustrating warts? Do you have numerous moles and want expert advice? A dermatology consultation can help with all these concerns and more. Dermatologists are physicians specialising in the skin, nails, and hair. A dermatologist can competently handle any complaints or questions concerning these body areas. Let’s take a closer look at how a consultation with a dermatologist can benefit you. What is Covered In a Dermatology Consultation? A myriad of problems and topics can be covered in a dermatology consultation. Your concerns may include brittle hair, nail issues, skin infections, chronic skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis, skin swelling or oedema, skin wounds, allergic skin conditions, warts, moles, rashes, insect stings, and more. If you are worried about skin pain, a mysterious lump, or scars, these concerns can also be addressed. Furthermore, you can consult a dermatologist about skin manifestations of non-dermatologic conditions like diabetes or multiple sclerosis. Your dermatology consultation can also include services such as mole mapping. Mole mapping is a valuable procedure where your moles are recorded for surveillance in the future. Moles with changing characteristics can potentially be a sign of skin cancer, so your dermatologist needs to keep track of any changes. What Happens During a Dermatology Consultation? When you first visit a dermatologist for a consultation, you will be asked standard questions about your medical history, including your current medications and doses, as well as any prior surgeries. You will also be asked about habits such as drinking and smoking, your family medical history, allergies, and the reason for the consultation. When you meet the doctor, they will make you comfortable and may ask further questions. Your dermatologist will then conduct an examination of the area in question. They may also take your vital signs and examine other locations, such as your ears and eyes. Of course, you will have the chance to ask any questions you like of your dermatologist. They will provide advice, recommendations, and any necessary treatment plans. Additionally, you may receive in-office treatment. This treatment could include mole mapping or removal of warts or verrucae. If your dermatologist finds a suspicious lesion, you could undergo a skin biopsy as well. At the conclusion of the consultation, your dermatologist will instruct you on scheduling a follow-up visit. They will also write down any recommendations for home care or lifestyle changes. Finally, you will receive prescriptions for any necessary medications. Get the Care You Need There is no need to keep wondering about your skin rash, painful skin, or other issues. A dermatology consultation can answer your questions, provide you with a diagnosis, and get you started on the correct course of treatment. You can trust a skin specialist with all your dermatology needs and get the care and answers you deserve. Don’t neglect your skin. Schedule your dermatology consultation now.  

The purpose of the Advanced Early pregnancy scan is: To check the site of the pregnancy sac (Is the pregnancy inside the uterus?) To check for viability of the fetus (Is my baby’s heart beating?) To calculate fetal heart rate (How many beats per minute is the baby’s heart beating?) To check the baby’s growth by measuring the crown-rump-length (To determine accurate dates) To calculate the baby’s due date (What date is my baby due?) To count number of babies (Could I be expecting twins?) To identify and examine some of the main organs in the fetus (such as brain, face, heart, stomach, umbilical cord, bladder, arms and legs). The normality of these organs cannot be fully determined in the first trimester – however, if an obvious abnormality is identified you will be referred on to a fetal medicine specialist) To assess the amniotic fluid volume, placenta and umbilical cord vessels. To examine for obvious uterine and ovarian pathology Please note that this scan: Is not the Nuchal Translucency / first trimester screening / Down Syndrome scan Cannot exclude all chromosomal or anatomical abnormalities Cannot assess placental location or function as it is too early When to have an Advanced Early Pregnancy Scan? The Advanced Early Pregnancy Scan is carried out between 12 weeks 0 days – 13 weeks 6 days. Many couples decide to announce their pregnancy after 12 weeks scan as they have gained some reassurance about the well-being of their baby. Pictures and a video clip provided from the scan can of course add to the special announcement. How to prepare for an Advanced Early Pregnancy Scan? Please make sure that your bladder is moderately full for this scan. You don’t need to purposely drink water before your scan. Just try not to empty it for an hour before your appointment. What to expect from an Advanced Early Pregnancy Scan You will lie back while the sonographer puts a bit of gel on your abdomen and then move a transducer over your tummy. You will be able to see the scan on a big screen television in front of you so that you can see what the sonographer sees. As with the Early Pregnancy Scan, there is a small chance that a transvaginal scan may need to be performed in order to get a better picture of the baby and to examine some of the very small structures.
