Hello,

I'm Lucia Pozo-Garcia

Dr Lucia Pozo-Garcia is a Consultant Dermatologist working at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. She also works in two private clinics in London and has been included at the GMC Specialist Register as Dermatologist in the UK since 2005.

Dr Pozo-Garcia has been working in Dermatology for more than 20 years. She specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions. Skin cancer and pigmented lesions (mole checking under dermoscopy) are her main fields of interest and expertise, but she also greatly enjoys General Dermatology.

Dr Pozo-Garcia, MD, PhD, qualified from the University of Cádiz (Spain) in 1990 and undertook postgraduate dermatologist training in Seville (Spain) in 1995. During her training post, she was awarded with a clinical fellowship in Paediatric Dermatology in a prestigious dedicated paediatric hospital in Madrid (Hospital del Niño Jesus). In 1996, she completed her PhD thesis on sweat gland tumours.

Dr Pozo-Garcia came to the UK joining her husband in 1998. She worked as Consultant Dermatologist at Homerton University Hospital, London, for 17 years. Then she moved to Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust in 2015, where she continues actively involved in the delivery of skin cancer services.

She has completed several courses on dermoscopy and enjoys teaching this technique to dermatology trainees and GPs.

She is also actively involved in research with more than 50 publications, a Ph.D. degree and two book chapters.

DERMOSCOPY:





There is overwhelming evidence in the use of dermoscopy as an effective diagnosis tool. Dermoscopy is better diagnosing melanoma compared to the inspection of a suspicious skin lesion using the naked eye. It is also extremely helpful to diagnose benign lesions, such us dermatofibroma, seborrheic keratoses, angiomas. Non-melanoma skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) can be detected earlier by using this technique.
