If you've been suffering from any skin problem: rashes, spots, bleeding, itchiness, discolourations of some kind, hair issues, or finger or toenail ailments, your first port of call will be the dermatology department, and if you have private medical insurance or have means to self-fund your care, and you live within easy distance of Northampton, you may well find yourself being referred to the specialist dermatology clinic at Three Shires Hospital for further investigation and help.
Skin is our first line of defence against all outside threats to all our other organs. However, despite that, perhaps the largest uncontrollable threat comes from within. We're talking about hereditary diseases. Most are uncomfortable at worst, but there are many life-threatening ones too (such as basal cell nevus syndrome or Muir-Torre syndrome), thankfully though, most life-threatening inherited diseases of the skin are rare.
