Yes, we treat pediatric skin concerns including eczema, diaper rash, warts, molluscum, and childhood rashes like chicken pox. Our approach is gentle and child-friendly.

Are skin biopsies performed at your clinic?

For suspicious lesions or when diagnosis is uncertain, we refer for skin biopsies. The procedure is quick and samples are sent to trusted laboratory partners for analysis.

What skin conditions are most common in Lagos?

We commonly see fungal infections, heat rash, eczema flare-ups, acne (often worsened by sweat and humidity), and sun-related skin damage.

Do you have a skin specialist on staff?

We don't have a sitting skin specialist. Skin consultations are handled by our primary care doctors and nurses, who diagnose and treat the majority of everyday skin conditions. For complex or specialist-level cases, we refer you to a trusted skin specialist partner.

Seek immediate medical attention for: rapidly spreading rashes, skin infections with fever, severe allergic reactions, painful blisters, or any sudden change in a mole's appearance.
