Overview
Understanding leprosy
Leprosy is a chronic bacterial infection affecting skin and nerves. It is fully curable with standard multidrug therapy, and early diagnosis prevents nerve damage and disability. Care is confidential and includes nerve assessment and contact advice.
At Own Skin Dermatology & Advanced Aesthetics we treat the cause, not just the appearance, which is why every plan starts with an examination.
