Alopecia

Alopecia refers to hair loss that can have many different causes—from autoimmune conditions and genetics to inflammation, hormonal changes or traction.

The type and cause of hair loss matter, because treatment depends on an accurate diagnosis.

If you’re experiencing persistent or progressive hair loss, a dermatologist can assess your scalp and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.

Early assessment can make a difference.

Skin Tags: What You Need to Know

Skin tags are small, soft, harmless growths that can range from flesh-coloured to dark brown. They are commonly found on the neck, underarms (axilla), and back.

Who is more likely to develop skin tags?
• Ageing
• Obesity
• Insulin resistance
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure

Although skin tags are benign, they can become irritated by clothing or jewellery and may affect your confidence.

Treatment options include:
✔️ Cryotherapy (freezing)
✔️ Electrocautery
✔️ Snip excision (minor removal procedure)

If you notice a new growth or are unsure whether it’s a skin tag, consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and safe removal.

Restore. Rejuvenate. Regrow. Naturally.

Looking for a natural way to rejuvenate your skin or stimulate hair growth? Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy may be the solution.

PRP Therapy uses a small sample of your own blood to create a concentrated platelet-rich plasma packed with growth factors. These are carefully injected into the treatment area to stimulate collagen production, encourage tissue repair, and support natural hair regrowth.

PRP Therapy may help with:
✔️ Hair thinning and early hair loss
✔️ Acne scars
✔️ Fine lines and wrinkles
✔️ Uneven skin texture
✔️ Skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation

At Dr Konyana Dermatologist, every PRP treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your concerns and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Experience the power of your body's own healing process and discover healthier skin and stronger hair—naturally.

Skin cancer can affect anyone.

Regardless of your skin tone, it’s important to know the signs and protect your skin.

While basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are commonly linked to long-term sun exposure, melanoma can also occur in people with darker skin. It often develops in areas that may be overlooked, including:
✔️ The palms of your hands
✔️ The soles of your feet
✔️ Under your fingernails or toenails

Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes. If you notice a new mole, a changing spot, a sore that doesn’t heal, or any unusual skin changes, don’t ignore it—have it assessed by a dermatologist.

Protect your skin every day by:
🧴 Wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
🧢 Using protective clothing and hats
🌤️ Seeking shade during peak UV hours
🔍 Performing regular skin self-checks

Your skin tells a story—make sure you’re listening.

📅 Book your skin examination today. Early detection saves lives.

What are the early warning signs of skin cancer that people should look out for?

Early warning signs:
• A sore that doesn’t heal: Persistent wounds or ulcers should always be checked.
• Changes in a mole: Look for asymmetry, irregular borders, uneven colour, increasing diameter, or evolution over time (the “ABCDE” rule).
• Unusual new growths: Pearly bumps, red patches, or raised lesions that change in size or bleed.
• Dark streaks under nails: These may indicate melanoma, particularly in people with darker skin tones.
• Itching, tenderness, or pain in a mole or lesion: Discomfort is a sign that something may be wrong.
• Unexplained skin changes: Any sudden change in skin texture, pigmentation, or sensitivity.
