Y Chang Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Can anyone recommend a dermatologist in Bangkok or Pattaya that is experienced in treating fungal infection and psoriasis? I speak very little Thai so I will need a doctor who speaks fluent English. A doctor who has been trained in the US, UK or Australia will be a plus. Thanks and look forward to your reply.

jacko45k Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) If you do not mind the cost, go to the Bangkok Hospital, Pattaya. They have a dermatology dept and all doctors have good English there. https://www.bangkokpattayahospital.com/en/healthcare-services/dermatology-cosmetic-surgery-en.html Edited September 22, 2021 by jacko45k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edandpranee Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I've been seeing Dr. Anna at BPH for over 16 years. She attended Stanford Medical School in California. Just can't say enough good things about her she's the best of the best. Look up her Bio on Bangkok Pattaya Hospital website. She treats me for Basel Cell a type of skin cancer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobobo Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I had a lady doctor at the Dermatology Department of the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital diagnose (correctly, as it turned out) psoriasis of the scalp some 8 years ago. Three so-called dermatologists at two other private hospitals in Pattaya all failed to diagnose it. It was money worth spending! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobobo Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 8 hours ago, redwood1 said: What did they prescribe to help clear things up? Psoriasis is basically a long-term affliction. Treatment for psoriasis of the scalp (and to a lesser extent forehead) is Topicorte 0.25% skin cream or ointment for an "attack", not to be used more than once or twice a week as Topicorte is a steroid. I was also told to wash my hair with Aphosyl shampoo which contains coal tar and alcohol 5%. Early on I could buy the shampoo at Boots, but in the last few years I can't buy it in Thailand because it contains alcohol!!!! I get mine from the UK, but I am sure any reasonable country would sell it (I can't see many abusing alcohol by drinking shampoo, can you?). Topicorte you can get in most pharmacies but get the larger bottle of 15 g as it is a lot cheaper than the smaller 5 g bottle. Good luck, it really worked wonders for me, and still does! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradenroger Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I wish to concur regarding Dermovate. It has been one of the few, if not the only med. that helps my psoriasis - a sufferer since I was 9 years old - now 73 so do the math. A dermatologist in Colombia introduced this med to me many, many years ago. It comes as a cream, ointment and also in liquid form which is fantastic for scalp psoriasis. There are now a number of very strong meds to take orally but can cause more damage than good(i.e. Methotrexate). I have used the oral meds. with fantastic results but this is not recommended for the long term. The derm. can explain all the oral meds available if you express interest. Since I started living in the tropics many years ago, my psoriasis has pretty much disappeared except for mild plaques on my scalp.......I would also like to recommend a fabulous cream that my dermo in BKK recommended for my neuropathic itch. It is a urea based cream that is a super moisturizer. It might help with any itching that you might have. Good luck, buddy. L.

The ointment in Thailand is about 180 baht for 5g, i travel a lot thru Dubai and can get 4 x 25g for approx 600 baht so i load up each time.

The liquid is better for scalp ,as it is easy to scatter around in the hair. Another good one for skin product is Quadriderm both of these can be hard to find, but they are both made in Thailand and if you shop around you will find some.

KhunBENQ Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) Quite surprising that Dermovate (not Dermavate) isn't available/hard to find in regular pharmacies? This seems to be an imported (relatively expensive) Glaxo Smith Kline product. Cheaper stuff should be available. Cream and ointment.

KhunBENQ Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) The "DiabeDerm" (urea cream/ointment) appears on many online sources like Shopee together with other urea creams (10, 20 and 40%). Edited March 30 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popabear Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 The ointment or cream is hard to use in your hair, if that's were you have the problem, the Dermovate liquid is easy to use if you have problem in the , scalp otherwise use ointment or cream for all other place's . The Dermovate is hard to find , but it is around if you look , I was in Pattaya only a few weeks ago and bought some , just got to look around in the outer areas of Pattaya , such as the Dark side , it's always been hard to find , because it's a product that works .
