Our Areas of Focus
We focus on managing a range of dermatological conditions including:
Complex forms of Eczema and Psoriasis
Skin cancer and screening
General skin, hair and nail conditions (e.g. acne, alopecia areata and urticaria)
Eczema is a skin condition that affects approximately 1 in 10 young adults in Singapore. While adopting proper skincare practices is essential in managing eczema, a personalised approach may be necessary to address each individual case for the best possible care. If you are struggling with eczema, speak to our dermatologist to discuss a personalised and effective treatment plan.
Acne is a common skin condition in teenagers but it can affect people of all ages. Acne forms when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of bumps and pus. Speak to a dermatologist for a better understanding of the underlying cause of your acne and receive a comprehensive plan to treat and manage breakouts.
Skin allergy is a condition that occurs when your immune system reacts to various allergens, such as medication, chemicals, or certain foods, resulting in irritated skin. Common symptoms include rashes, itching, swelling, or hives on the skin. To prevent skin allergy, it’s crucial to identify the allergens that trigger your symptoms through a skin allergy test. Once identified, skin allergy can be managed with atopic creams or oral medication. Speak to a dermatologist if you are experiencing symptoms of skin allergy.
Skin Prick Testing A simple and quick test performed in the clinic, and involves introducing small amount of allergen into the skin, usually on the forearm or back. These tests can be carried out on children and adults to identify allergies to food or environmental agents.
Patch tests This is a procedure that identifies suspected allergies to substances you came into contact with on your skin, or contact dermatitis.
Blood tests Blood tests may be required for investigation of skin allergies. After a dermatologist’s evaluation for suitability, the allergen-specific antibody (IgE &/or IgG) test (also known as RAST, Radioallergosorbent Test) can also be performed to screen for an allergy to a specific substance.
Aesthetic and laser procedures to treat cosmetic conditions including acne scarring and keloids, pigmentation, wrinkles & fine lines and skin rejuvenation.
