Contact the desk

Corrections take priority over everything else. Tips, missed evidence and sponsorship enquiries are welcome. Paid content requests are not.

The short answer

Corrections come first and are answered before anything else. We also want tips, evidence we have missed, and questions about what a threshold means. We do not accept guest posts, paid links, sponsored articles or product samples, and requests for those will not be answered.

Corrections are answered first.

Corrections

If something here is factually wrong, tell us. Corrections take priority over every other category of message. We correct on the page and note what changed rather than removing the page.

Tips and evidence

We are interested in guidance changes, regulatory developments, published evidence we have missed, and patterns you are seeing that we have not covered. If you work in dermatology, primary care, occupational health, pharmacy or the aesthetic sector, that perspective is useful to us.

Sponsorship

Rates and conditions are published on the sponsorship page. Use the sponsorship option in the form. We will confirm availability and run the checks set out there before invoicing.

What we do not accept

  • Guest posts, contributed articles and any form of paid content.
  • Paid links, link exchanges and requests to add a link to an existing article.
  • Product samples, gifted items and press trips.
  • Requests to be included in a list, ranking or comparison.
  • Requests to remove or amend accurate published material.

Messages in those categories will not receive a reply. The reasons are set out in our editorial standards.

We cannot answer medical questions

We cannot diagnose, assess a photograph, comment on your own skin or advise on treatment for an individual. That is not modesty, it is the correct boundary. For a skin problem, a pharmacist is an excellent and under-used first stop, a GP is the entry point to specialist care, and a changing mole or a sore that has not healed within a month warrants an appointment now rather than an email to a publication. The thresholds are set out in why men under-consult.

No commercial links on this page

This article contains no affiliate links, no sponsored placements and no links to any commercial product, brand, retailer or clinic. Nobody paid for it, nobody previewed it and nobody outside the editorial desk saw it before publication. Our editorial standards set out the three archive articles that are the single disclosed exception on this site, none of which is this one.

Nothing here is medical advice. For your own skin, speak to a pharmacist, a GP or a dermatologist.
