Dr. Michel Janks

Skin concerns are usually visible, which makes them easier to bring in but harder to live with. A rash that will not settle, a mole that looks different, hair thinning, or a condition that flares under stress all affect confidence as much as comfort. Both sides of that are worth mentioning during the appointment.

Before the appointment, write down the main reason you are booking. Note when the problem appeared, whether it has spread or changed shape and colour, whether it itches or hurts, and what makes it better or worse.

Bring any creams, ointments, or tablets you have already tried, including products bought without a prescription, and note how long each was used. Photographs taken over the past weeks are genuinely useful, since skin often looks different on the day of the visit.

Try to attend without makeup or nail polish on the affected area if that is practical. It sounds minor, but it can be the difference between a confident diagnosis and a repeat appointment.

Consultant Dermatologist & Skin Health Specialist

Dr. Michel Janks is a consultant dermatologist treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. His practice covers acne, eczema, psoriasis, hair loss, pigmentation concerns, mole assessment, and minor surgical procedures. He works with dermoscopic examination for accurate lesion assessment and explains what he is seeing during the consultation rather than afterwards in a letter.

About Dr. Michel Janks

Dr. Janks approaches dermatology as both a medical and a personal matter, since chronic skin conditions shape how people dress, socialise, and feel about themselves. He is careful to separate what can be cured from what can be managed well, so patients are not left chasing an outcome that was never realistic. Treatment plans are built to be sustainable, because most skin regimens fail from complexity rather than from being wrong.

Mole & Skin Lesion Checks

Mole and lesion checks assess spots that are new, changing, or simply worrying you. Examination uses dermoscopy to look beneath the surface, and findings are explained straight away, including which features are reassuring and which need further action. Where a biopsy or removal is appropriate, the procedure and recovery are described in full before anything is scheduled.

Chronic Skin Condition Care

Chronic skin condition care covers long-term issues such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and persistent acne that need ongoing management rather than a single course of treatment. Each plan identifies likely triggers, sets a realistic daily routine, and defines what to do during a flare. Reviews check whether treatment is still working and adjust it before a condition becomes entrenched again.
