Frequently Asked Questions about Dermatology
Yes, you can usually self-refer to a private dermatologist in the UK. This allows you to book an appointment directly with a specialist without needing to see your GP first. For NHS dermatology services, however, a referral from a GP is typically required.
Going to a private dermatologist can offer faster access to appointments, more flexible scheduling, and longer consultation times. It may be a good option if you’re seeking quick reassurance, a second opinion, or want to avoid waiting lists.
The 2-week rule is a guideline used when a GP suspects a possible skin cancer. It means you should be seen by a specialist within 14 days of referral. It’s a safety net to help catch serious conditions early.
Yes, you can see a private dermatologist without a GP referral. Booking directly allows you to access expert advice quickly, whether you have a specific concern or simply want a professional opinion on a new or ongoing skin issue.
An urgent referral is used when a healthcare professional thinks a skin issue may be serious and needs quick specialist assessment, often within two weeks. This is most commonly used to investigate suspected skin cancers or rapidly changing lesions.
A mole that is 7mm is slightly larger than the average, but size alone isn’t the only factor to monitor. It’s important to watch for changes in shape, colour, border, or any itching or bleeding. If you notice anything unusual, it’s best to have it checked.
A standard dermatology consultation usually lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. This may vary depending on the complexity of your concern or whether any tests or treatments are carried out during the same visit.
