General Dermatological Treatments Singapore
Many skin concerns are best addressed through general dermatological care rather than lasers or aesthetic procedures. At Skincodes, medical management forms the foundation of practice – and for many conditions, it is the most appropriate and effective starting point.
Treatments and Services Available at Skincodes
Skincodes provides evidence-based medical dermatology treatments tailored to a wide range of skin, hair, and nail conditions.
Topical Prescriptions
Prescription-strength topical treatments for conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and fungal infections, tailored to the patient’s skin type and condition severity.
Oral Medications
Systemic treatment where topical therapy is insufficient or where the condition requires a broader response – including oral antibiotics, isotretinoin, antihistamines, or immunomodulating agents as appropriate.
Cryotherapy
The controlled application of liquid nitrogen to treat benign lesions including viral warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, and certain superficial skin tags.
Minor Procedures
Including extraction, incision and drainage, or shave excision of benign lesions under local anaesthetic.
Allergy Patch Testing
For patients with suspected contact dermatitis or persistent unexplained skin reactions. Patch testing identifies specific allergens responsible for skin inflammation, allowing targeted avoidance and management.

What It Is and How It Works
General dermatology encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of skin, hair, and nail conditions through medical means. This includes conditions that are primarily inflammatory, infectious, immunological, or structural in origin. Dr Ang provides thorough clinical assessments and manages conditions using established medical treatments, escalating to procedural or laser-based care only where clinically indicated.
Skin Biopsy
Where a diagnosis requires histological confirmation, Dr Ang can perform a punch or shave biopsy under local anaesthetic and coordinate pathology review.
What to Expect at Skincodes
A general dermatology consultation begins with a thorough history and clinical examination. Dr Ang takes time to understand the pattern, duration, and triggers of your skin concern before recommending a management plan. Where further investigation is warranted, she will advise on appropriate testing or referral.
Why Choose Specialist Surgical Care
Dermatological surgery performed by a specialist offers distinct advantages:
- Accurate pre-surgical diagnosis with dermoscopy. Lesions are assessed carefully as appearances can be
misleading without specialist evaluation - Appropriate margin assessment for cancer excisions based on lesion type and guidelines
- Histological analysis of all removed tissue to confirm diagnosis and clear margins
- Minimally invasive techniques selected to optimise cosmetic outcomes
- Structured follow-up and surveillance for ongoing skin health
