Patient2DoctorSee a private dermatologist - without a GP referral
Skin problems are hard to wait on. A mole that has changed shape, acne that hasn't responded to anything from the pharmacy, a rash that keeps coming back - these are the things people want looked at by someone who knows what they're seeing, and NHS dermatology has some of the longest waits of any specialty. Patient2Doctor lets you describe what's happening once and have private UK dermatologists come to you, rather than spending your evenings ringing clinics to ask who has availability.

What dermatologists on Patient2Doctor help with
What it costs
You pay £20 to connect with a dermatologist. Consultants pay the same £20 to reveal your contact details, so both sides have something invested. That's our entire charging model - no subscription, no free trial that quietly renews, and no percentage of what you go on to pay. The consultation itself is paid directly to the dermatologist and typically costs between £150 and £300, though this varies by consultant and by where they practise.
When to seek urgent care instead
Patient2Doctor is for non-urgent care. Please don't wait on us if any of the following apply. Contact your GP urgently, call NHS 111, or go to A&E.
- A mole or skin lesion that is bleeding, growing quickly, or changing week to week
- A rash that comes with a high fever, or a rash that doesn't fade when pressed with a glass
- Rapidly spreading redness, heat and swelling, particularly with feeling unwell
- Blistering or peeling across large areas of skin, or affecting the eyes, mouth or genitals
- Any skin change alongside difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, lips or throat - call 999
If you're not sure how urgent something is, treat it as urgent and speak to a clinician today.

Your details stay yours
Cases are posted without contact details. A consultant can only reach you after you shortlist them. This is an introduction service, not a medical service - for urgent symptoms contact NHS 111 or 999.
