The Challenge
Acne that persists into adulthood, particularly when it follows a hormonal pattern, often does not respond well to general over-the-counter options. This patient had been proactive: they had tried dietary changes, products, and treatments, but nothing had produced consistent improvement. After years of trial and error, they wanted a proper clinical assessment rather than another round of guesswork.
How Midland Health Helped
The consultation was with Dr Christos Kasparis at our Edgbaston Clinic. Dr Kasparis took time to listen to the full picture: the history of the condition, what had and had not worked, and the patient’s specific concerns. Blood tests were arranged to look at the hormonal factors that may be contributing, and Dr Kasparis explained the treatment options in detail, explaining the reasoning behind each one.
Our Recommendations
- Blood testing to assess hormonal factors that may be influencing the acne
- A personalised treatment plan based on the patient’s specific presentation and history
- A clear explanation of treatment options and what each one is intended to address
“Dr Kasparis was knowledgeable, attentive and provided a thorough explanation of the treatment options available. While my journey has just begun, I feel a renewed sense of positivity and excitement for the future.”
