A Dermatologist is a medically trained doctor who has completed further highest specialist training in dermatology. This is different to a doctor or medical or non-medical practitioner who practices skin treatments or cosmetic treatments. You can check the specialist register for dermatology on the General Medical Council Website before choosing a ‘skin specialist’.
Only Dermatologists can prescribe the most effective skin treatments such as isotretinoin for acne, and systemic therapies for eczema and psoriasis where indicated. The skin care, cosmetic and aesthetic industry is largely unregulated and it is important to understand who you are seeing and if they are qualified to give you the most accurate and evidence-based opinion and treatment.
Dr. Thadi’s specialist interests include the diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment of sun damage, skin lesions (cancerous and non cancerous) and laser.
