Private Dermatology and Mole Checks in London, Seen This Week Not in Six Months
Skin problems are easy to dismiss and hard to live with. A rash that will not settle, acne that has stopped responding to everything on the shelf, a patch of eczema that flares every winter, or a mole that looks slightly different from how you remember it. On the NHS, a routine dermatology referral commonly takes twelve to twenty six weeks, which is a long time to spend either uncomfortable or worried.
The Online GP by The Wellness provides fast private dermatology assessment and mole checks in central London, with same-week appointments and, where something needs a consultant dermatologist, a biopsy or a procedure, quick onward access rather than another waiting list.

When a mole should be checked, and when not to wait
Most moles are harmless, but a few changes are worth acting on quickly rather than watching for months. See someone promptly if a mole or patch of skin is changing in size, shape or colour, has more than one colour, an uneven or ragged edge, is larger than most of your others, or is itching, bleeding, crusting or not healing. A new mole appearing after the age of forty is also worth checking.
We say this plainly because it matters. If a lesion carries real cause for suspicion, the safest route can be the NHS urgent skin cancer pathway, which aims to see you within two weeks of a GP referral, and private care should never be used to delay that. What a private check gives you is speed and reassurance for everything short of that, and a clear, expert opinion on whether the thing you have noticed needs anything doing at all.
What we treat
Acne, including stubborn cases that have not responded to over the counter treatment
Eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis
Rosacea and persistent facial redness
Fungal and bacterial skin infections
Hair loss and scalp conditions
Warts, cysts, lipomas and skin lumps
Rashes and reactions that will not settle
Moles and lesions, with dermoscopy and monitoring
Where a diagnosis needs a specialist eye or a sample, we arrange a consultant dermatologist, a biopsy with laboratory histology, or removal, and we tell you the cost up front. Private dermatology consultations in London commonly run from £200 to £350, and mole removal from around £200 to £500 per mole depending on the method, so you can see that being seen quickly here does not mean paying over the odds.
Send us a photo of your skin concern
Seen quickly, and often from a photo
A great deal of dermatology can be assessed accurately from good clinical photographs, which means we can often give you an initial view and a plan within a day, then bring you in only if you need an examination or a procedure. If you would prefer to be seen in person, or you want a female doctor, tell us when you book. For patients who cannot easily travel, our doctors also visit homes and hotels across London.
How to book
Message us with a short description, and a photo if you have one, of the skin, hair or mole concern. We will tell you whether a photo review, a video appointment or an in-person visit is the right start, and arrange any specialist step from there.

What the best dermatology service in London actually looks like
Ask what separates the best dermatology service in London from the merely adequate and it comes down to five things. Assessment within the week, not the twelve to twenty six weeks of routine NHS waits. Dermoscopy and specialist-level mole checks, with honest escalation to the urgent pathway when a lesion warrants it. Treatment of the full range of skin, hair and nail conditions, not just referral onwards. Consultant dermatologist, biopsy and removal arranged quickly when needed. Teledermatology from photographs, often with an initial view the same day. The Online GP by The Wellness meets all five standards from £550, which is why patients with skin problems that will not wait choose us first.
Questions people ask
How quickly can I see someone about my skin? Usually the same week, and often the same day for an initial view by photo review. In-person and consultant appointments are arranged quickly from there.
What does it cost? A dermatology assessment starts from £550, with dermoscopy included and any biopsy or removal quoted clearly before you decide. Consultant dermatology at London's flagship hospitals commonly commands £450 for the appointment alone, and ours is structured so the assessment, the dermoscopy and the plan arrive as one service.
I have a mole I am worried about. What should I do? If it is changing, bleeding, itching or not healing, get it checked promptly. We can assess it with dermoscopy, and if it carries real cause for suspicion we will make sure you are seen on the right urgent pathway without delay.
Can you actually treat my condition, or only refer me? Both. We treat the great majority of skin, hair and nail conditions directly, and bring in a consultant dermatologist, biopsy or procedure only when your condition calls for it.
Can I be seen at home, or by a female doctor? Yes to both. Tell us your preference when you book.
Who is the best private dermatologist in London?
