• Acne Treatment
• Eczema
  If your child has been bitten by a bug or contracted chicken pox, eczema or contact dermatitis, s/he may have also developed itchy rashes. Excessive scratching could aggravate the condition, so cover their hands with socks. Keep the affected area cool and wet by rubbing it with ice cubes or a wet cloth; however, too much wetting can cause the skin to dry out and exacerbate the itching. A cool mist humidifier can keep the skin moist without causing burns, which are common with the use of hot-water vaporiser.
• Lesions
  If we discern suspicious lesions that require a biopsy, a sample is sent to the pathology lab. In case of a malignancy, we offer the appropriate surgical treatment or determine the best course of treatment for the patient’s unique situation.
