Dr Anton Alexandroff Consultant Dermatologist at Harley St offices, Cambridge Nuffield Health hospital, Cambridge Spire Lea hospital and Cambridge Dermatology Clinic.
I began my research career with a PhD at Edinburgh University in the field of cancer Immunology and have since published over 40 peer-reviewed research papers and reviews. I continue to believe that research is very important as it widens clinicians’ horizons and contributes to improving patient care.
Clinically trained in the United Kingdom, I have worked at major NHS teaching and private hospitals in Cambridge, Newcastle, Nottingham, Leicester and London.
To keep up to date I take active part in the departmental, national and international educational meetings and regularly read specialist dermatological literature. I also believe that everybody is unique and I always seek to personalise the care of all my patients.
MY CLINICAL SPECIALISATION
I specialise in inflammatory skin diseases including psoriasis, dermatitis, acne. In addition I have specialist expertise in skin cancers including basal cell cancer (BCC), squamous cell cancer (SCC) and malignant melanoma.
I also have a special interest in the diagnosis and management of various types of hair loss (e.g. alopecia).
At the University Hospitals of Leicester, jointly with Drs S. Nicholson and R. Graham-Brown, I led the Dermato-Oncology clinic.
I was also the lead clinician for Phototherapy which is commonly used to treat psoriasis, dermatitis, vitiligo, as well as other diseases.
Additionally, I was leading the regional NHS alopecia service (including Diphencyprone immunotherapy for Alopecia Areata condition).
