Dermatologist Consultation
A Dermatologist consultation is the best way to get answers and treatment for skin conditions that are not improving with usual care. Dermatologists are medical specialists trained to diagnose and manage all diseases of the skin, hair, and nails. At DermLab, you’ll receive a thorough assessment, clear diagnosis, and a tailored treatment plan — all in one appointment.
What We Treat
Our Dermatologists regularly see patients for:
Eczema and dermatitis (including allergic and contact dermatitis)
Psoriasis (mild to severe)
Hives (urticaria)
Hair loss and scalp conditions
Nail disorders (fungal, brittle, or thickened nails, nail psoriasis)
Skin infections (bacterial, viral, fungal)
Pigmentation disorders (melasma, vitiligo, post-inflammatory pigmentation)
Skin cancer checks and suspicious lesions
Why See a Dermatologist?
Dermatologists undergo one of the longest and most comprehensive training pathways in medicine.
To become a Dermatology Specialist, a doctor must complete:
6 years of medical school
2+ years of junior hospital training, often in general medicine, paediatrics, or surgery, gaining broad experience in complex medical care
4+ years of advanced Dermatology training unde supervision, including adult and paediatric dermatology, skin cancer, surgery, inflammatory skin disease, and systemic treatments
This means it takes at least 8 years after medical school — often longer — before a doctor can qualify as a Dermatology Specialist. When you see a Dermatologist at DermLab, you’re consulting with a doctor who has completed this extensive training pathway and is highly skilled in recognising and managing both common and rare skin diseases.
