What medical dermatology covers
Dr Wong’s stated focus is medical dermatology — including psoriasis, acne and eczema — alongside lasers and dermatologic surgery. Medical dermatology treats skin diseases through medications, light therapy and procedures. Common areas include:
- Psoriasis, an inflammatory condition causing scaly plaques, often needing long-term management.
- Acne and acne scarring, treated with topical, oral and procedural options.
- Eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions.
- Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), lasers and dermatologic surgery.
Many of these are chronic conditions where the aim is to control flares and maintain comfortable, healthy skin over time rather than a one-off cure.
Conditions such as psoriasis and eczema can affect not just the skin but also quality of life, sleep and confidence, so management considers the whole person rather than the rash alone. Treatment is often stepped: gentler measures are tried first, with stronger topical, light-based or systemic options reserved for more stubborn or widespread disease. Acne is approached similarly, with the plan shaped by its severity and the risk of scarring. Because these are long-running conditions, an important part of care is helping people understand their triggers and how to use treatments effectively at home.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually starts with a history of your skin problem — when it began, what triggers or relieves it, previous treatments and their effect, and any family history. The dermatologist examines the affected skin and may use a dermatoscope or examine the nails and scalp.
Investigations such as swabs, patch tests or a skin biopsy may be arranged where needed. The discussion then covers treatment options, from creams and oral medicines to phototherapy or procedures, and how the plan will be monitored and adjusted.
Because conditions like psoriasis, eczema and acne tend to be long-running, the first consultation is often the start of a working relationship rather than a one-off fix. It helps to be honest about what you have already tried, how reliably you have been able to use treatments, and how the condition affects your daily life, as this guides a plan that is both effective and realistic for you. Understanding why a treatment is prescribed, and how and when to use it, makes a real difference to how well chronic skin conditions are controlled at home.
Preparing for your appointment
- Photo identification and any referral letter, if you have one.
- Previous records, biopsy results or a list of treatments you have already tried.
- A list of current medications, supplements and skincare or topical products.
- A note of when the condition started, how it behaves, and what seems to trigger flares.
- Photographs of flares, which can be helpful if your skin varies between good and bad days.
After your consultation and follow-up
For chronic skin conditions, follow-up is important to review how treatment is working and to adjust it as needed. Results and reports are shared at review visits, and treatments such as phototherapy or systemic medicines may require monitoring.
Continuity of care helps keep long-term conditions under control, and seeking a second opinion is reasonable. Seek earlier review if your skin worsens rapidly, becomes widely red and peeling, or shows signs of infection such as increasing pain, warmth or discharge.
Booking, referrals and fees
As a private specialist, Dr Wong can usually be seen without a referral, though a GP or polyclinic referral may help with subsidies at public clinics. MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans may apply to eligible medical procedures within set limits, while cosmetic treatments and routine consultations are usually out of pocket. Confirm current fees and any coverage with the clinic before proceeding.
Common questions
Can psoriasis be cured?
Psoriasis is generally a long-term condition that is managed rather than cured, with treatment aimed at controlling flares and keeping the skin clear and comfortable.
What treatments help acne scars?
Several options exist, including topical treatments, lasers and procedures; the most suitable depends on the type and depth of scarring, which is assessed individually.
What is phototherapy?
Phototherapy uses controlled doses of ultraviolet light to treat certain inflammatory skin conditions and is delivered under supervision over a course of sessions.
How is excessive sweating treated?
Hyperhidrosis can be managed with topical treatments and other options; the approach is tailored to severity and the areas affected, and the dermatologist will discuss which is most suitable for you after assessing how much it affects your daily life and which areas are involved.
