Dermatology &
Skin Care

From acne to skin checks, our GP provides experienced care for a wide range of skin conditions — with a clear path to specialist care when you need it.

GP-Led Skin Care,
Honest About Its Limits

Our GP treats a broad range of skin concerns — from acne and general skin conditions to checks for anything that's causing you concern. Dr. Tabesh holds a Diploma in Dermatology from the University of Cardiff.

Where a condition needs specialist-level care, we'll refer you to our trusted Consultant Dermatology partner — see the details below. We're upfront about what's treated here and what isn't.

Understanding &
Treating Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in Ireland, affecting both men and women — and it can appear at any stage of life, even into your 40s. Acne vulgaris is typically triggered by hormonal changes and shows up as blackheads, whiteheads and spots on the face, neck, back and chest. For most people it improves by the late teens or twenties, but for some it persists — and severe acne can scar, both skin and confidence.

Treatment options

If over-the-counter products haven't worked, it's worth seeing your doctor — with proper treatment the outlook is generally good, though treatments usually take two to three months to show results. Depending on severity, your plan may include:

  • Topical treatments — gels or creams such as benzoyl peroxide
  • Salicylic acid washes — an exfoliant that opens pores and reduces redness
  • Chemical peels
  • Oral antibiotics — often the first-line prescription option
  • Oral contraceptives — where hormonally appropriate
  • Isotretinoin — a highly effective option for severe acne, prescribed and monitored carefully

Where a condition needs specialist-level care, we'll refer you to our Consultant Dermatology partner (below) and manage the handover for you.
