AI image by LocalRankSkin, hair and nail conditions in Singapore are treated by dermatologists, doctors who complete recognised specialist training and are accredited as skin specialists, commonly described as MOH-accredited. This guide gathers ten established, currently-operating dermatology practices, from the public National Skin Centre to private specialist clinics clustered around Novena, Orchard and the east. Each entry was checked against the clinic's own website or profile, so treat it as a shortlist of accredited options to compare rather than a clinical ranking of who is best.
1. National Skin Centre
The National Skin Centre is Singapore's public specialist centre for dermatology, part of the National Healthcare Group, and sits within the Novena health district beside Tan Tock Seng Hospital. It states that it began operations in 1988 and now handles the large majority of public-sector dermatology outpatient attendances. Its dermatologists manage a broad range of skin, hair and nail conditions, from eczema, acne and psoriasis to skin cancer, and it is also a teaching and research centre. Access is typically through a GP or polyclinic referral.
2. Angeline Yong Dermatology
Angeline Yong Dermatology is a private clinic at Gleneagles Medical Centre on Napier Road, led by dermatologist Dr Angeline Yong. The clinic says her practice spans medical and surgical dermatology alongside cosmetic work, with particular focus on dermatologic and laser surgery, Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer, hair transplantation and hair and nail disorders. It notes that Dr Yong previously served as a consultant at the National Skin Centre. The single-specialist setup may suit patients looking for surgically-oriented skin and hair care.

Being attached to a larger private hospital group can be convenient for patients who want dermatology alongside other specialist services under one operator.
5. The Skin Specialists & Laser Clinic
The Skin Specialists and Laser Clinic operates from Mount Alvernia Medical Centre on Thomson Road, with dermatologists Dr Colin Theng and Dr Mark Tang. The clinic states that it handles common skin diseases such as eczema, acne, psoriasis, viral warts, hair loss, fungal infections, vitiligo and urticaria, along with skin cancer screening and surgery and laser and light treatments.

How to choose
- Confirm you are seeing an accredited dermatologist rather than an aesthetic or beauty provider. Dermatologists complete recognised specialist training in skin, hair and nail medicine, and you can check a doctor's registration and specialist status on the Singapore Medical Council register before booking.
- Match the clinic to your condition. Some dermatologists focus on medical problems such as eczema, psoriasis or skin cancer, others on surgical work like Mohs micrographic surgery, and others on paediatric or cosmetic dermatology, so ask whether the clinic regularly treats your specific concern.
- Check how you access care and what it costs. Public centres such as the National Skin Centre usually require a GP or polyclinic referral, while private clinics often take direct bookings; ask in advance about consultation and procedure charges and whether Medisave, MediShield Life or private insurance can be used for eligible treatments.
- Consider location, hours and whether the practice runs one site or several. A clinic near home or work, with hours you can keep, makes follow-up appointments easier, which matters most for chronic conditions that need ongoing review.
- Use the first consultation to ask questions. Ask about the likely diagnosis, the treatment options and their trade-offs, whether any biopsy or test is needed, the expected timeline and possible side effects, and be cautious of pressure to commit to expensive packages on the spot.
- Think about continuity and follow-up care. For long-term conditions it helps to know whether you will usually see the same dermatologist, how results and repeat prescriptions are handled, and how the clinic manages onward referrals if you need another specialty.
