The Bad Skin Clinic at Welbeck

The Bad Skin Clinic: Transforming Lives at Welbeck Skin Health & Allergy

Since 2021, The Bad Skin Clinic, a beloved series on Discovery+, has filmed at Welbeck Skin Health & Allergy under the expert guidance of Dr Emma Craythorne, consultant dermatologist. Known for her innovative approach, Dr Craythorne and her team provide life-changing care to patients with serious, often stigmatised skin conditions. The Bad Skin Clinic goes beyond treatment, exploring the significant social, emotional, and physical impacts of skin conditions on patients’ lives.

A New Series with a Fresh Perspective

As The Bad Skin Clinic enters its seventh series, the focus broadens. Episodes in this series are arranged around particular themes, such as the challenges of facial skin conditions. One episode explores how facial skin issues can affect not only physical health but also relationships, career prospects, and self-confidence. By openly discussing these topics, Dr Craythorne aims to raise awareness, break taboos, and shift societal perceptions.

In Series 4, Episode 12 of The Bad Skin Clinic, titled "Private Parts," Dr Craythorne addresses the sensitive topic of genital skin conditions. This particularly insightful episode highlights the struggles of patients such as Sarah, who faces the pain and embarrassment of genital warts, and Stewart, who has endured untreated lumps on his scrotum for nearly 25 years. By bringing these private issues into the open, the programme encourages individuals to seek help and fosters more candid conversations about personal skin health, breaking down barriers of stigma and embarrassment.

Excellence in Skin Care at Welbeck

Welbeck’s state-of-the-art facility allows Dr Craythorne’s team to perform a wide range of advanced diagnostic and treatment procedures, such as phototherapy, biopsies, and even complex surgeries like Mohs micrographic surgery. With cutting-edge equipment—such as the unique 360-degree mole mapper, not available anywhere else in the UK—Welbeck provides Dr Craythorne with the resources to treat patients efficiently and thoroughly. She highlights the value of Welbeck’s collaborative approach, where dermatologists can consult directly with experts in endocrinology, oncology, and plastic surgery, allowing for truly tailored patient care.

With over 300 patients helped across seven series, The Bad Skin Clinic is more than a show—it’s a testament to compassionate care, advanced treatment, and the positive impact of open dialogue around skin health.
