Not every rash is eczema.

As the seasons change, your skin can react to colder temperatures, drier air and other environmental changes. But not every rash or flare-up is eczema, and getting the right diagnosis is important for effective treatment.

In this video, Dr Ana-Maria Al Soodi explains why persistent or changing rashes are worth getting checked by a dermatologist.

🔎 If your rash isn't settling, is changing, or you're unsure what it is, get it checked out by a dermatologist.

Come and see us at our Wednesday clinic in Henley.

🍂 New month. New season. When did you last check your skin?

As the seasons change, it’s a good reminder to take a closer look at your skin and get to know what’s normal for you.

Have you noticed a new or changing mole, mark, lump or area of skin that looks different? Don’t ignore it.

🔎 Know your skin. Check for changes. Get concerns checked.

If something has changed or you’re unsure about a spot or mole, book an appointment with the dermatology team at Oxona Healthcare.

Is your skin rash not responding to over-the-counter creams?

If a rash is persistent, keeps coming back or isn’t improving with treatments from the pharmacy, it’s worth getting it checked by a specialist.

In this video, Dr Ana-Maria Al Soodi explains why getting the right diagnosis is important — and how a dermatologist can help identify the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Don’t just keep treating the symptoms. Get to the cause. 💙

3 simple tips for teenage skin 💙

Teenage skin can be tricky to manage, especially when breakouts appear. Here are three simple tips from the Oxona dermatology team:

1. Keep it gentle 🫧
Cleanse morning and evening with a gentle cleanser. Avoid harsh scrubs or over-washing, which can irritate the skin.

2. Don't pick! 🙅‍♀️
Squeezing spots can increase inflammation and may lead to scarring. Try to leave them alone and allow your skin to heal.

3. Moisturise & protect ☀️
Even oily or acne-prone skin needs moisture. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser and use SPF 30+ during the day.

If acne is persistent, painful or affecting confidence, our dermatology team can help with personalised treatment options.

🔎 HOW DO MOLES AGE?

Did you know that moles can change as we get older?

In this video, Dr Anderson explains how moles can naturally change over time, what changes are considered normal, and when a mole should be checked by a medical professional. 👩‍⚕️

It’s important to know your skin and keep an eye on your moles. If you notice a mole that is changing in size, shape or colour, or one that looks different from your other moles, don’t ignore it.
