Frequently Asked Questions

What does a dermatologist treat?

A dermatologist diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. This includes acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin allergies, fungal infections, pigmentation, hair loss, dandruff and nail disorders.

When should I see a dermatologist?

You should see a dermatologist if you have persistent acne, rashes, itching, hair loss, changes in moles, skin infections or any skin condition that does not improve with home care.

Can a dermatologist help with hair loss?

Yes. Dermatologists identify the cause of hair loss, such as hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, scalp conditions or genetics, and recommend the most suitable treatment.

Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?

No. You can book an appointment directly with a dermatologist at MGM Healthcare for evaluation and treatment of skin, hair or scalp concerns.

What should I expect during my first dermatology consultation?

Your dermatologist will discuss your symptoms, examine your skin, hair or scalp, review your medical history and recommend any tests or treatments needed for an accurate diagnosis.

What is the difference between a dermatologist and a skin specialist?

There is no difference. A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specialises in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. The term “skin specialist” is commonly used to describe a dermatologist.
