When Should ISee a Dermatologist?
If you have persistent skin issues, severe acne, unusual moles, painful lesions, or chronic conditions like eczema and psoriasis, then it is time to see a dermatologist. Dermatologists can also help with hair loss, nail disorders, and other cosmetic concerns like hyperpigmentation and scarring.
Seeking professional care ensures that you can receive an accurate diagnosis and get started on treatment sooner, allowing for better outcomes all around.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I prepare before going to a dermatologist?
Bring a list of your symptoms, current medications, allergies and any previous treatments. Avoid wearing makeup, sunscreen or nail polish so the skin, scalp or nails can be examined clearly.
What can I expect during my first visit with a dermatologist?
Your dermatologist will review your medical history, examine your skin or the affected area and perform additional diagnostic tests if needed. They will also discuss treatment options tailored to your condition.
What are common skin conditions that dermatologists treat?
Dermatologists treat a wide range of skin, hair, and nail conditions — including acne, eczema, psoriasis, hyperpigmentation, rashes and hair loss. They also commonly provide cosmetic treatments to treat wrinkles, scars and so on.
What's the difference between cosmetic and medical dermatology?
Medical dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the health of the skin, hair and nails. Cosmetic dermatology, on the other hand, aims to improve the appearance of the skin (e.g. signs of ageing) through treatments like lasers, peels or other specialised devices.
What’s the difference between a dermatologist and an aesthetic doctor?
Their differences lie in their qualifications, scope of practice and regulatory recognition.
In Singapore, a dermatologist is a Ministry of Health-accredited specialist trained to diagnose and treat all kinds of skin, hair and nail conditions. A dermatologist would’ve also completed specialist post-graduate training after medical school, including a residency in dermatology.
On the other hand, an aesthetic doctor is a general practitioner who has undergone additional training in aesthetic medicine and various cosmetic procedures.
If you require a diagnosis or treatment for a chronic or complex skin condition, or if you are seeking cosmetic procedures with the assurance of specialist expertise, it is recommended to see a dermatologist.
