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.

An obstetrician specialises in pregnancy related aspects of women's health whereas a gynae specialised in the 'non-pr

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

Zenyum vs Invisalign vs WonderSmile: What's the Difference?

Image
If you are considering getting an invisible braces or clear aligners treatment, you've come to the right place. Lately, the number of options for invisible braces and clear aligners have increased, thus making it complicated when it comes to choosing the right one. What are invisible braces? Clear braces are a transparent, plastic alternative to traditional metal braces used to adjust and align teeth. They are removable (unlike metal braces) and work by exerting consistent pressure on your teeth, so they shift and straighten over time. Invisible braces might seem like a modern invention. But in reality, dentists have been using plastic to shift teeth since the end of World War 2. The problem was it wasn’t the most convenient procedure. Given technological constraints, you’d need to visit the dentist every time to get new putty impressions of your teeth. It wasn’t until the advent of 3D-scanning technology, and specialised software that dentists could create accurate digital impress
