Dermatology

This page helps you find and choose a dermatology provider. For condition information, see the Dermatology health topic.

What dermatology covers

Dermatology deals with the skin, hair and nails. People seek it for conditions such as acne and eczema, for changes in moles or patches of skin, and for checks on skin that has been exposed to sun over many years.

Who provides it

A dermatologist is a doctor with specialist training in skin conditions. General practitioners often manage common skin problems and refer on when needed. Some clinics also have nurses or other clinicians who support care. HealthNaro lists Dermatology as its specialty in this field.

Main services

Listed services are skin consultation and skin cancer screening. A profile shows a service only when the provider has told us it is offered.

How to choose a provider

• Confirm registration with the national medical regulator and ask which specialist qualification the doctor holds.
• Read the verification label: Public listing, Contact verified, Reviewed by HealthNaro or Credentials verified. These show what HealthNaro checked and say nothing about results.
• Ask whether the clinic can examine your skin in private and whether a chaperone is available.
• Ask how test results, such as a skin sample sent to a laboratory, are communicated and who explains them.
• Ask what follow-up is included if a problem changes.

What to prepare

Note when the problem began, whether it changes, and anything that seems to trigger it. List the creams, tablets and products you currently use, and any allergies. Remove nail varnish or make-up from the area if the clinician needs to see it. Dated photographs of how it has looked can help, kept on your own device.

Cost, insurance and access

Costs depend on the consultation type, any laboratory work and follow-up visits, so ask what is included before you book. Check with your insurer whether specialist visits and skin checks are covered. HealthNaro shows prices only where a source and date exist. If you have limited mobility or want a private room for examination, mention it when booking.
