About the podcast

Our skin is the largest organ in our body. There are many Australians who suffer from a long-term condition of the skin that can have an impact on their physical health as well as their self-esteem, mental health and wellbeing. Dermatologists are specialist medical doctors. They are the specialists in conditions of the skin, hair and nails. They are able to diagnose, treat and manage more than 3,000 skin conditions. Dermatologists help people with conditions like psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, acne, alopecia, skin infections and skin cancer. Alongside the active treatment for your skin condition, talking to someone can make a real difference. So, if you are feeling really down or depressed about your skin, hair or nail condition, talk to your doctor about this. It is important not to delay seeking help.

This podcast has been produced in collaboration with the Australasian College of Dermatologists.
