About us

Get to know us

The Skin Advisory is led equally by two Specialist Dermatology Pharmacist Independent Prescribers — Ivnit Kaur Bagga and Ersa Tsoutsoura.

We're a UK-based online dermatology service for people with established or previously diagnosed skin conditions who want specialist help getting more from their treatment — whether it isn't working, keeps returning, or you simply want to understand your options. For selected common conditions, we can also assess and treat you directly. If your concern needs in-person examination or another specialist, we'll tell you.

Scope of practice

Our focus is the specialist medical management of skin conditions. Where skin health and optimisation form an appropriate part of your care plan, this may also be discussed. The Skin Advisory is not an aesthetics or injectables clinic, and we do not offer anti-wrinkle injections, fillers or standalone cosmetic procedures.

Please read Mole assessments and diagnosis of suspicious lesions cannot be carried out via virtual consultation. Any new or changing moles should always be reviewed in person by a dermatologist or GP.
