How to go about seeing a Skin specialist in Singapore?

Looking for a recommended Skin Specialist (dermatologist) in Singapore? 

Just so that we are on the same page, a skin specialist is a dermatologist if he holds a professional medical degree with further post-graduate training in skin diseases. We wouldn't call someone working at a spa a skin specialist though. However, if you have a skin related problem and has not been well managed by a general practitioner; you would need to be referred to a skin specialist or a dermatologist. 

It's also likely that you would do a Google search first and decide from there. Would you rely on what you just read from the internet to decide?

With tons of low-quality self-help e-books out there on skin disease treatment for acne, eczema, psoriasis etc., we are not surprised if you are confused and overwhelmed with treatment information or rather misinformation i.e. recommendations from Facebook friends, neighbors, emails, forum recommendations, search engine results etc. Before you buy a suspicious skin care product with 'too good to be true claims', do a quick check on Google. Use the product name as the search keywords and also add verification words like scam, hoax etc.

As for the medical specialist selection, the online world provides overwhelming information. While some of the sites do provide the needed information; the method in which the clinics or the specialists are selected are not explained. Have the medical specialists been verified by checking with the Singapore Medical Council? 

Other than the basic selection criteria, I would select a specialist based on experience and training as well as feedback from other specialists, doctors or customers.

We have compiled a list of Skin specialists in Singapore based on Skin specialists from major hospitals and Clinics as well. You would also probably need to filter further based on the condition that you are suffering or based on the procedure that you have planned to do.

Best Gynaes in Singapore (2023) by Hospital

Image
Gynaecologists are one of the most searched medical specialties on the internet. Almost all modern and top sgynaecologists are also obstetricians and therefore the term obstetricians & gynecologists or O&G in short. The term 'gynecologist' is often mis-spelled as 'gynocologist' by laymen. In many areas, the specialties of gynaecology and obstetrics overlap. Before you get yourself overwhelmed with all the jargons on the internet, it's important you have some basic understanding with the medical specialty that you are dealing with. O&G stands for Obstetrics and Gynaecology. What's the difference between obstetricians and gynaecologists? Most gynaes are qualified with a post-graduate qualification in O&G i.e. MRCOG or Master of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Therefore, they are trained both in obstetrics as well as gynaecology. An obstetrician specialises in pregnancy related aspects of women's health whereas a gynae specialised in the 'non-pr...

If you are looking for the best skin specialist (dermatologist) in Singapore, you've come to the right place. Skin Specialist vs Dermatologist vs Aesthetic Doctor Let's get the most common confusion out of the way. A dermatologist or a skin specialist is someone who holds a professional medical degree with further 'post-graduate' training and qualification in skin diseases.

A registered dermatologist is registered on the Singapore Specialist Accreditation Board’s register for dermatology . According to the Singapore Guidelines on Aest...

16 Best Formula Milk Singapore 2023: Best Infant Formula

Image
Breastmilk is nature's perfect baby food. But if you can’t breastfeed, or if you’ve chosen not to, formula milk is the next best thing. Scientists and medical experts have spent years developing high-quality formula milks that will provide your baby with the nutrition she needs. According to the  Straits Times , all infant formula sold in Singapore must comply with the requirements of the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority's Sale of Food Act. This includes the minimum and maximum nutrient composition in an infant formula. Most of the standard milk formulas are developed to be closest to breast milk. "The calorie content and nutritional composition, such as protein, fat and carbohydrates, are more or less similar across all brands,"  said Associate Professor Marion Aw , a senior consultant at the division of paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition at National University Hospital. When you’re deciding which is the best milk powder for your baby, you will n...
