If you’ve been scratching the same patch on your back for months or even years… watch this.

Most people assume it’s dry skin.

Others think it’s eczema.

But if it’s always in the same place, just below your shoulder blade, the problem may not be your skin at all.

It could be coming from the nerves that supply it.

Save this—you might finally have an explanation for that itch that never seems to go away.

If you have a painful spot on your ear that hurts when you sleep on it… watch this.

Many people assume it’s skin cancer or sun damage.

In reality, there’s another condition that’s commonly mistaken for both—and recognising it can save months of discomfort.

If you’ve noticed a lacy, brown pattern on your skin… don’t ignore it.

Most people assume it’s just pigmentation.

In reality, it can be a sign of repeated heat damage from something as common as a hot water bottle, heat pad or even a laptop.

Watch this before reaching for another anti-pigment cream.

Comment “London” if you’re based in London and would like help managing a skin concern.

A brilliant few days at the British Association of Dermatologists Annual Conference in Manchester.

It was great to catch up with friends and colleagues, share ideas, and hear about the latest developments across dermatology.

Conferences like this are always a good reminder of how rapidly medicine progresses, and why continual learning is such an important part of providing the best possible care for our patients.

And as always, it was a pleasure to be back in the North West.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Skin cancers are the UK’s most common type of cancer, yet they are the most preventable. Regular sunscreen use saves lives, yet it’s taxed at 20% as a ‘luxury or cosmetic’. Sunscreen isn’t cosmetic, it’s critical. That’s why I support the call to Axe The SPF Tax.
