Booked for a teledermatology consultation since the circuit breaker started after reading about TWL Dermatology on 8 Days. I had a rash on my feet that won’t go away for a Long time and definitely got worse after CB started. I was planning to see a dermatologist even in February but got busy and now I thought I wanted to avoid hospital visits due to COVID. Helped that my friend also seeing Dr.Teo for last 2 years, but for different problem. But my friend got better and now just maintain with skincare. Don’t really know what to expect for video consultation but must say it really exceeded my expectations. First Dr.Teo and her team of staff nurse Lakshmi is so professional, very detailed in the assessment form and consultation itself very smooth. I send over some pictures according to what they ask and I was given a diagnosis and understand perfectly the treatment and cause given to me. Being skeptic before, now I think this is efficient and effective COs my rash all disappear and not just that, the creams and moisturiser given to me was very very good and not expensive at all, compare to what I been using from pharmacy for years and never have any effect

If you are looking for an amazing skin specialist in Singapore, Dr Priya is simply the best! I highly recommend making an appointment at her clinic. She is one of the loveliest doctors I have ever met, and she has been wonderful with my children too. She has been able to solve skin rashes to acne to sunburn, and I would recommend her to everyone! I have been using her product range for over a year, and I love the way her products feel on my skin. Thank you Dr Priya!

I've had pretty severe rosacea for about 15 years, and have consulted with at least 3 dermatologists and purchased countless of products off the counter before discovering this clinic. Nothing worked. I've been seeing Dr Lynn Teo for about a year now and I am pleased to say that for the first time in years, I finally saw drastic improvements.

Went for my 1st consultation with Dr Tan and felt that he is one of the doctors that have my best interest at heart. He wasn't pushy in selling me anything but gave me sound advice based on his experience. Overall, felt that he is a really nice and genuine doctor. Can't wait to see my condition improve from here.

Zhisheng Lee, 26 June 2020
I’ve been a patient of Mr Khoo for around 20 years since I’ve first visited him during my army days. Saw his transition from Changi General Hospital to his own specialist clinic now in Naaman skin. Mr Khoo has been a very reliable and knowledgeable dermatologist, whom I’ve always go to for serious skin conditions that he will find a way to cure. Lately I’ve also sought his expertise for improving my face condition due to aging and he has prescribed the suitable creams and lotions that have improved my condition greatly. In addition, the front staff of his nurses and assistants have always been helpful and kind to my requests. There are always 4 assistants that will be around in the clinic to ensure the customers are attended to with care and attention. Overall, a continued wonderful experience whenever I made my trip down to Naaman Skin and Laser Center for any skin conditions.

What you need to know about Skin Biopsy in Singapore
A skin biopsy is a procedure in which cells or skin samples are removed from the surface of the body to be tested. The sample taken from a skin biopsy is sent to a laboratory and examined by a pathologist under a microscope. By looking at the sample, the pathologist can diagnose or rule out skin cancer. In some cases, it can also be used to remove skin lesions.
A skin biopsy is needed to diagnose or to help treat skin conditions and diseases, including skin infection, warts, actinic keratosis, skin tags, suspicious moles or other growths, blistering skin disorders (such as bullous pemphigoid), inflammatory skin conditions (such dermatitis and psoriasis), and skin cancers (including melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma).
What does the Procedure Involve?
Before the procedure, your doctor cleans the area of the skin to be biopsied. Your skin may be marked to outline the biopsy area. You will then be given a local anaesthetic to numb the biopsy site.
How your doctor performs the procedure depends on the type of biopsy.
-
Shave biopsy – during this type of biopsy, your doctor uses a sharp tool, scalpel or double-edged razor to remove a small section of the top layers of your skin (epidermis and a portion of the dermis).
-
Punch biopsy – your doctor uses a circular instrument called a punch in order to remove a small section of your skin, including the deeper layers (epidermis, dermis, as well as superficial fat).
-
Excisional biopsy – your doctor uses a small scalpel in order to remove an area of abnormal skin, which includes a portion of normal skin down to the fatty layer of skin. This type of biopsy can also be done to remove an entire lump, usually smaller lesions.
-
Incisional biopsy – a scalpel is used to remove a small sample of large lesions.
While a shave biopsy usually does not need stitches, punch biopsy, excisional biopsy, and incisional biopsy usually require stitches to close the wound as they involve cutting into the uppermost layer of fat underneath the skin.
How Long Should I Stay in Singapore?
A skin biopsy usually takes around 15 minutes to complete. It is an outpatient procedure, so you can leave the hospital on the same day as your skin biopsy. However, since the results are available within several days or weeks, you need to stay in Singapore for at least 7 days following your biopsy. Once the result is available, you will need to attend a follow-up visit to discuss the results of the test with your doctor.
What's the Recovery Time?
In general, you should rest as much as possible for the remainder of the day and go back to your normal activities the day after. However, you need to take it easy and avoid vigorous activities for a few days to avoid complications. How long it takes your biopsy site to heal depends upon the depth and size of the biopsy, which may take about 2 to 3 weeks.
What About Aftercare?
Following the biopsy, your doctor will give you aftercare instructions. Follow the instructions carefully for a quick and smooth recovery. You may experience some soreness on or around the biopsy site for a few days, but you can take Tylenol to relieve any discomfort. If you have stitches, make sure to keep the area clean. Try not to do any activities that might stretch the skin as it could enlarge the scar and cause the wound to bleed.
What's the Success Rate?
A skin biopsy is a safe and accurate method to diagnose skin conditions and diseases. The accuracy of a shave biopsy is 97%, while a punch biopsy is shown to be 85% accurate. The result of a skin biopsy is highly dependent on the quality of the biopsy submitted. It is possible to miss the diagnosis of a skin tumour.
The result of your skin biopsy will include a diagnosis and a description of the skin condition. If the sample is found to be cancerous, the description will include information about how quickly the cancer cells are dividing, the thickness and margins of the tumour, the presence of tiny tumours near the main tumour, as well as invasion of the tumour into a nerve, blood vessel, or lymph vessel.
While a skin biopsy is a generally safe procedure, complications can still occur. These include bleeding, bruising, infection, scarring, and allergic reaction to the anaesthesia.
Are there Alternatives to Skin Biopsy?
A skin biopsy is needed to diagnose and treat skin conditions and diseases. There are currently no other alternatives to diagnose skin cancer and other serious skin conditions.
What Should You Expect Before and After the Procedure
Before a skin biopsy, your doctor may not know for sure the skin condition or disease you have. After the biopsy, your doctor will be able to diagnose or rule out skin cancer. This allows them to help create a treatment plan for you. If your doctor removed an entire lesion, then the biopsy may have also cured cancer.
Whilst the information presented here has been accurately sourced and verified by a medical professional for its accuracy, it is still advised to consult with your doctor before pursuing a medical treatment at one of the listed medical providers
