  • Skin infections
  • Vascular malformations (collections of abnormal blood vessels) and birthmarks
  • Hair and nail disorders
  • Children's vulval skin disorders 
  • Vitiligo (white patches on the skin)
  • Rare skin conditions, including autoimmune blistering diseases, ichthyosis (thickened, dry and scaly skin) and ectodermal dysplasia (abnormal development of the skin, hair, nails, teeth or sweat glands)

We are a national referral centre, treating patients from all over the UK. We are dedicated to supporting and educating patients and parents/carers affected by skin disease.

Our department is actively involved in clinical research, aiming to continually improve the treatment of children's skin disorders.
