Introducing BPM Skincare
We were thrilled to announce the launch of Dr Murphy’s new skincare range, BPM Skincare (available exclusively at Cathedral Dermatology) This carefully formulated range includes:
- Cleansers and exfoliators to enhance your existing moisturiser
- Vitamin C serums for protection against environmental toxins and free radicals
- Retinol treatments for skin rejuvenation and regeneration
- Introductory trial packs so you can experience the full range before committing to full-size products
Skin Concerns – Advice from Our Live Q&A
During the show, Dr Murphy addressed numerous listener questions. Here are some key takeaways:
Sun Protection is Essential
With the warm weather at Balmoral Show, many attendees were seen without adequate sun protection. Always use sunscreen when outdoors for extended periods, wear protective clothing, and seek shade when possible.
When Skincare Products Stop Working
If a product you’ve used successfully for years suddenly causes irritation, your skin may have developed a sensitivity or allergy to specific ingredients. We offer patch testing to identify problematic ingredients and recommend suitable alternatives.
Professional Treatment for Skin Tags
Avoid online DIY removal products, which can cause burns and complications. Professional removal using techniques like cryotherapy is quick, safe, and can address multiple skin tags in one session.
Managing Chronic Conditions
Conditions like rosacea require ongoing management. Using gentle, hypoallergenic products and maintaining a maintenance routine (such as twice-weekly treatments) can help prevent flares between more intensive treatment periods.
When to Seek Professional Help
Seek immediate professional assessment if you notice:
- Moles that become itchy, bleed, or change appearance
- Skin lesions that don’t heal within 2-3 weeks
- New lumps or bumps, especially those that are pink, discharge fluid, or bleed when squeezed
- Persistent rashes or skin changes that don’t respond to over-the-counter treatments
Book Your Appointment
Don’t let skin concerns affect your confidence. Whether you’re dealing with a condition like eczema or rosacea, want professional mole screening, or are interested in cosmetic treatments, Dr Murphy and the Cathedral Dermatology team are here to help.
