My wife has some white spots on her skin, not sure if it is a "sun allergy", some kind of fungus, or too much sneaking that d*mn skin whitener crap LOL. Whatever it is, it is making her nervous so time to see a doctor about it I suppose. Would rather go straight to a good one than hop around referral to referral.
From childhood experience, if it is tinea fungal infection (alap-ap in Bisaya), the topical prescription then and now was a keratolytic (peeling agent) called salicylic acid. Nowadays, there are also capsules, creams, gels, lotions, oral solutions, shampoos, soaps or tablets available for the treatment. To locate the professionally-recognized dermatologists in our province, simply type "Dumaguete" or "Negros Oriental" into Clinic Address box and then click on Search tab at PDS Certified Dermatologist – PDS Other dermatology practitioners can also be located at 1. Filipino Doctors - directory of physicians in the Philippines 2. My Doctor FinderFind a Doctor, Hospital, Clinic, Pharmacy 3. Search Doctor by Specialties, Hospitals and HMO's | The Filipino Doctor – Philippines but it would be best to consult the professionally-recognized ones.
Thanks, I was hoping someone had experience with a good doctor vs finding a doctor and hoping they were good.
You're most welcome! By "good dermatologist," I presumed you were looking for a doctor who is recognized as specialist among his peers. Sorry, I have not experienced the services of the local dermatology practitioners here who merely attained training for certain non-surgical cosmetic procedures. In any case, I believe even a family medicine practitioner is competent for your wife's problem because it is at early stage and could not be that serious a health condition.
I have used Dr. Munoz for 8 years. She is located across fron Cang’s on the highway on the 2nd floor. Note: parking is a challenge, better to park at Cang’s basement and proceed with caution crossing the highway!
Great! Just the kind of answer I was hoping for. Thanks Oh, do we need an appointment? Have the phone number? Or just drop in early and get in line?
sorry, i don't have a cell for her but i'll be going there this week or next and i'll ask for her cell and post it here unless someone else posts it.
I have a cell # for her. I was actually there today! She is a very good doctor, believe me. Also sorted out a nasty problem for the missus a while back. 09759119417. That's her secretary's number.
