Frequently asked questions
Does ordinary acne need a dermatology examination? Mild acne can be managed at home, but when acne is heavily inflamed, leaves scars or does not respond to ordinary products, you should see a dermatologist for the right treatment protocol to avoid long-term scarring.
Can eczema be cured completely? Eczema is a chronic condition that can recur. Proper treatment helps control symptoms well, reduces the frequency of flare-ups and significantly improves quality of life.
Can children be examined for skin conditions at Ky Hoa? Yes. Our dermatologists can also examine children for conditions such as infantile eczema, hives, fungal skin infections and other common childhood skin problems.
