toenail Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 As most of us know, a fancy hospital or spanking new clinic does not mean the first doctor or specialist you meet will be an authority of what you are looking for. I will ask the Thai visa Pattaya members if they have any experience in recommending a dermatalogist for treating older skin (not zits on a teenager). I was one of those blond hair- blue eye fair skin farangs that would be in the sun 24-7 when young and then the past 20 years I have lived in the Middle East and tropics that has sunny days. So now I have flaky skin on my forehead which I thought would disappear but it has not. (I no longer expose myself to the sun so it is not from sunburn.) It is not skin cancer according to the research I have done. I need to go to a local dermatologist that can seriously diagnose what is the best treatment for fair skin people, not Asian skin or what he read in his medical text book.

SheungWan Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I have used the dermatologist at Pattaya Memorial, You need to call in to make an appointment as she is not there every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Bangko Pattaya has a dermatology clinic at the back. Took my partner there for a fungoid skin condition, took 3 visits but her problem eventually cleared up. It's not cheap though, averaged out around 3000 baht a visit, including medication.

Spaniel Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 One of the best in Pattaya is Dr Anna Jaruwarn at Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosseway Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I have used Dr Warapon at the Pattaya international Hospital Soi 4 Beach Road for many years in the treatment of my active keratosis and other skin related conditions, she is a professional Dermatologist with a huge amount of experience. I have found PIH Dermatology dept. much cheaper than B.H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxo1947 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) One of the best in Pattaya is Dr Anna Jaruwarn at Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital. Spaniel ---& others are correct------Dr Anna, she practised at Stanford for years, to give you an idea of how she is streets ahead of anyone else in that town.(Pattaya) Pattaya hospital isn't a place I would usually recommend ---however I would have no hesitation recommending her, I was told by another doctor that she would still be at Stanford, but her husband. (an urologist) could not find a suitable position in America. & of course her English is perfect--- Bio MD.(HONS), Chulalongkorn University, Institute of Dermatology, Bangkok, Department of Dermatology, Stanford Medical Center, Stanford, CA - Diplomate, American Board of Dermatology - Fellow of American Academy of Dermatology Edited August 17, 2015 by oxo1947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonseeker Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 + 1 for Dr. Anna / BPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toenail Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thanks for all of you that took time out to make recommendations. It is more of a secure feeling to go to someone that has a good report and reputation than with a doctor that lacks people skills or up-to-date professional knowledge beyond a medical school text book.

As i learned the Doctors work sometimes in two or more Different Hospitals, someon know that this highly recommend Dr. Anna work somewhere else too? I found some good Tips here already, may i try the Pattaya International first , or someone has an Visit lately somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxo1947 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) tangerinehouse----what you may have--Its not a small thing, I would pay yourself & go and see Dr Anna.....if its confirmed then maybe you need to take your treatment elsewhere. But get you diagnoses and options , and there may be many different ones, explained to you first from the best.

tangerinehouse Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thank you OXO 1947, may i will do so. And visit there for diagnosis. I heard from someone that they charged Foreigners double the Price from Thais, you know something about that..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard from someone that they charged Foreigners double the Price from Thais, you know something about that..? No...I have had Thai friends who have had treatment there----they are just an expensive hospital---& your right it drives up the insurance rates, & also in a lot of cases there are doctors around every bit as good as you will get there. Dr Anna is probably an exception to that in this field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 +1 for the recommendation to see Dr.Anna, regardless the price. She specializes in skin cancers and according to recommendations in the Health & Medicine forum section is the best in Thailand. She lived in and had a clinic in the USA, and her English is excellent. I had a small cancerous spot removed from my forearm and was 100% satisfied with her service.

I don't know what Dr. Anna charges Thais' but I had an appointment with her on Tuesday, 26 July, for a skin cancer check up and was charged B 1,500.
