DERMATOLOGY
Care for your skin, hair and nails — from acne, eczema and stubborn infections to mole checks, skin cancer screening and aesthetic treatments.
More than skin deep
Your skin is the largest organ you have — it protects you, keeps your temperature steady and is often the first place a wider health problem shows up. So a skin, hair or nail issue is worth taking seriously, not just for comfort and confidence but because it can point to something going on underneath.
At Putra Medical Centre, our dermatology team looks after the everyday — acne, eczema, fungal infections — as well as the more complex: psoriasis, autoimmune skin conditions, chronic ulcers and skin cancers. Some conditions clear up quickly; others are long-term and need a proper plan and regular follow-up.
Because we’re part of a hospital, we work alongside oncology, plastic surgery and other departments when your care needs more than one specialty — so nothing falls through the gaps.
What we help with
Not sure who to see? Start with what's bothering you — we'll point you to the right care.
Acne & acne scars
Breakouts that won't settle, or the marks they leave behind.
Eczema or psoriasis
Itchy, dry or flaring skin that keeps coming back.
A rash or infection
Bacterial, viral or fungal — the kind that won't clear on its own.
A mole you're worried about
A spot that's new, changing, or just doesn't look right.
Hair thinning or loss
Shedding or bald patches — hormonal, autoimmune or nutritional.
Nail problems
Thick, discoloured or infected nails that won't improve.
Your child's skin
Gentle care for rashes and skin conditions in children.
Clearer, healthier skin
Pigmentation, texture or tone you'd like to improve.
What we can do about it
Our dermatology care falls into five areas. Pick the one that matches what you're dealing with.
Diagnosing and managing the conditions that affect how your skin feels and behaves day to day.
What this includes
- Acne and acne scar management
- Eczema and psoriasis — long-term control
- Bacterial, viral and fungal skin infections
- Autoimmune and inflammatory skin conditions
- Hair loss (alopecia) assessment
- Nail disorder treatment
Many skin conditions are long-term. A clear diagnosis and a proper plan — with regular follow-up — is what keeps flare-ups under control and stops small problems spreading.
Removing lumps, moles and cysts with small procedures under local anaesthetic.
What this includes
- Mole and lesion removal
- Cyst removal
- Removal of suspicious or cancerous lesions
- Minor excisions under local anaesthesia
Small, minimally invasive procedures mean quick recovery and minimal scarring — and removing an abnormal growth early prevents bigger problems later.
Checking suspicious spots, confirming with a biopsy, and treating skin cancers early.
What this includes
- Comprehensive head-to-toe skin examination
- Dermatoscopy — magnified lesion assessment
- Skin biopsy for lab analysis
- Treatment and removal of skin cancers
For skin cancers like melanoma, early detection makes an enormous difference to how treatable they are. A quick check is always worth it.
Non-surgical treatments to improve how your skin looks and feels, with little to no downtime.
What this includes
- Laser therapy
- Chemical peels
- Pigmentation, texture and clarity treatments
- Personalised skin care planning
Aesthetic treatments are planned around your skin type, lifestyle and medical history — so results are safer and last longer.
Skin conditions in babies and children, handled gently and with a light touch.
What this includes
- Childhood eczema and rashes
- Skin infections in infants and children
- Birthmarks and common childhood skin concerns
Children's skin is different from adults'. Care tailored to them means safer treatment and less worry for parents.
A mole that's changed? Don't wait to get it checked.
New spots, or moles that change in size, shape or colour, are worth a look — even if it turns out to be nothing. Our team uses a head-to-toe examination and dermatoscopy to tell harmless marks from ones that need attention, and can biopsy on the spot if needed. For skin cancers, catching them early changes everything.
Your first consultation, step by step
Here's how a first dermatology visit usually goes — no surprises.
Book or drop by
Make an appointment for a dermatology consultation, or ask at reception when you're in.
Skin examination
The dermatologist looks at the area — and, for mole checks, does a head-to-toe exam with a dermatoscope.
Diagnosis & plan
We explain what's going on and your options, including how long treatment may take.
Treatment or procedure
Some things start the same day; a small mole or lesion can often be removed under local anaesthetic.
Follow-up
Long-term conditions like eczema or psoriasis are reviewed regularly to keep them controlled.
What you get at PMCK dermatology
Connected to the rest of the hospital
When a skin problem needs more than dermatology, we work directly with oncology, plastic surgery and other departments — so complex cases are handled in one place.
Dermatoscopy & imaging
Magnified examination tells benign marks from ones that need action, more accurately.
Minor surgery, minimal scarring
Small excisions under local anaesthetic mean quick recovery.
Evidence-based plans
Treatments follow established dermatology guidelines — safe and research-backed.
Care planned around you
Tailored to your skin type, lifestyle and history, with follow-up for long-term conditions.
