What a dermatology clinic treats

Dermatologists diagnose and treat conditions of the skin, hair and nails. Common reasons to attend include acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, fungal infections, hives, pigmentation, hair loss and nail disorders. Dermatology clinics also carry out mole checks and skin-cancer screening, and can perform biopsies and minor procedures. Many conditions are managed medically with topical or oral treatments, while some require procedures or light-based therapy. Consider a clinic when a skin problem is persistent, spreading, recurrent, painful or changing in appearance, or when you want a professional assessment of a mole or a new or unusual skin lesion.

How to choose a dermatology clinic in Singapore

  • Confirm the doctor is registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) and on the Register of Specialists for dermatology where specialist care is needed.
  • Distinguish board-certified dermatologists from doctors offering only aesthetic services.
  • Look for clear treatment plans and honest guidance on what is medically necessary versus cosmetic.
  • Consider hospital affiliation, accessibility and appointment availability.

Getting there

Many private dermatology clinics are found in the Orchard medical belt (around Orchard MRT) and the Novena health-city belt (Novena MRT, near Tan Tock Seng and Mount Elizabeth Novena). Subsidised dermatology care, including national skin centre services, is available through the restructured hospitals and polyclinics across the island. Check each clinic’s own address and nearest MRT or parking before your visit.

Costs and financing

Costs vary between public or subsidised and private settings. A GP or polyclinic referral may help with subsidies. MediSave, MediShield Life and insurance may apply to eligible surgery or inpatient treatment within set limits, while routine consultations and cosmetic treatments are often paid out of pocket. Confirm fees and what is claimable with the clinic.

Common questions

When should I get a mole checked?

Have a mole assessed if it changes in size, shape or colour, bleeds, itches or looks different from your others. Regular checks are wise if you have many moles or a family history of skin cancer.

What is the difference between a dermatologist and an aesthetic doctor?

A dermatologist is trained in the medical diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair and nail conditions, whereas aesthetic services focus on cosmetic concerns. Both should be doctor-led.

Are dermatology treatments claimable?

Medically necessary treatments may attract subsidies or insurance support within limits, while cosmetic treatments are generally out of pocket. Confirm with the clinic.
