After qualification in Ancona, Italy, in 1993 with honours, early medical posts were in General Pathology, where he gained a deep insight into histopathology of the skin, biology of tumours and laboratory research. Specialist training in Dermatology was completed in 1999 qualifying with Honours and Publicetur.

He was subsequently appointed as Consultant Dermatologist at Newham University Hospital, London, in 2003 where he provided general dermatology clinics but also specialist services for Skin Cancer, including a very popular Rapid Access Surgical Dermatology Service based on the ‘see and treat' principle.

Other areas of special interest include immune-bullous diseases and their treatment, treatment with immunosuppressants and biologics, dermato-pathology, acne, hyperhidrosis, hidradenitis suppurativa, lichen sclerosus, the non surgical treatment of vitiligo and hair loss.
