Skin Clinic 

The Skin Clinic is led by the hospital’s Clinical Director, Dr Peter Fisher, supported by a team of doctors and other health professionals.

Aims

The improvement of skin problems and reduction of conventional medication are the aims of this service. Because the clinic is staffed by trained health professionals, our treatments are integrated with conventional methods.

What can be treated?

• Acne
• Angioedema
• Atopic eczema and other forms of dermatitis
• Hydradenitis
• Lichen planus and lichen sclerosus
• Palmo-plantar pustulosis
• Psoriasis
• Prurigo
• Rosacea
• Urticaria (hives, nettle rash)

What do we not treat?

We do not treat skin cancer including malignant melanoma and basal cell carcinomas. We do not perform skin biopsies.

Treatments

Many people do not like having to depend on drugs, especially steroid creams. In a 500-patient survey 68% of patients with skin conditions reported an improvement, and about two thirds had been able to reduce or stop conventional medication since attending the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine.

Individual treatment packages are designed for each patient.

Therapies include:

• Allergy assessment and treatment
• Diet, including exclusion diets and supplements
• Stress management, including Autogenic Training
• Homeopathy
• Herbal medicine
