Clinics offering atopic eczema treatment in Singapore (2026)

Atopic eczema treatment in Singapore is offered by private dermatology clinics and by the public National Skin Centre. This page lists five clinics A to Z, with the doctors and qualifications each publishes. Treatment usually starts with moisturisers and prescription creams, then moves to phototherapy, tablets or injections when eczema is harder to control.

This page is general information, not medical advice. Speak to a registered doctor.

Which clinics offering atopic eczema treatment are listed?

Five clinics are listed below in A to Z order: four private dermatology practices and the National Skin Centre. Each publishes information about eczema care on its own website and names its doctors. The list is not a ranking, and no clinic is placed above another.

Where an address or phone number is missing, we could not verify it from a source we opened, so check the clinic’s own website before you visit.

How common is atopic eczema in Singapore?

Atopic eczema is common in Singapore. According to the National Skin Centre (NSC), eczema affects about 20% of children and 10% of adults, and NSC saw more than 14,000 new eczema cases in the 2023 financial year alone.

Atopic eczema is a long-term condition in which the skin barrier is weaker than usual, so the skin loses water easily and reacts to irritants. It causes dry, itchy and inflamed patches that flare and settle. In babies it often appears on the cheeks, while older children and adults tend to get it in skin folds such as the elbows, knees and neck. Many people with eczema also have hay fever, asthma or food allergy.

Because it is so common, most cases are first seen by a GP or at a polyclinic. A dermatologist is usually involved when eczema is severe or widespread, keeps getting infected, disturbs sleep, work or school, or does not settle with standard treatment.

What treatments do Singapore clinics offer for atopic eczema?

Treatment generally steps up with severity: daily moisturisers and trigger avoidance for everyone, prescription creams for flares, then phototherapy or medicines that act on the immune system for moderate to severe eczema. The clinics listed here describe several of these options on their websites.

The doctor decides on treatment after an examination. A clinic mentioning a treatment on its website does not mean it suits every patient, and no treatment works the same way for everyone.

How did we choose the clinics on this page?

We included clinics that publish their own information on eczema treatment, name the doctor who provides it, and could be checked against their own website or a public healthcare page. They are listed A to Z with no scores, ratings or ranking.

For each clinic we recorded the doctors and qualifications it publishes, the eczema treatments it describes and the contact details we could confirm. We left out clinics whose websites said little about eczema, and clinics whose exact name or website we could not confirm. We did not use reviews or patient stories. We also did not confirm each doctor’s Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration for this page, so please check the SMC register yourself.

How do you choose a clinic for atopic eczema?

Start with the doctor: check that they are on the SMC’s Specialist Register for dermatology. Then match the clinic to the patient. A young child, an adult with severe flares and someone who suspects an allergy may each suit a different practice.

Check registration and qualifications. The SMC’s online register shows whether a doctor is registered and whether they are on the Specialist Register. Several clinics on this page list MRCP (UK) and FAMS; FAMS stands for Fellow of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore.

Think about age. For babies and young children, look for a doctor who states an interest or training in children’s skin. On this page, Dr Ker Khor Jia of Dermatology & Co completed a paediatric fellowship in Philadelphia.

Match the treatment you may need. If creams have not worked, ask whether the clinic offers phototherapy on site, as TSN Dermatology Skin Specialist Clinic does, or whether it prescribes systemic medicines, and how often you would need follow-up visits and blood tests.

Look at triggers. If flares seem linked to skincare, metals or work materials, ask whether the clinic assesses contact allergy. About Dermatology lists contact allergy among its conditions, and Assurance Skin says its approach centres on finding triggers.

Decide between public and private care. The National Skin Centre offers subsidised care and runs a dedicated Eczema Unit for adults with moderate to severe eczema, but subsidised visits generally need a referral. Private clinics can typically be booked directly and charge private rates.

Ask about insurance. Outpatient specialist visits are not always covered by Integrated Shield plans. Corporate medical schemes vary too, so check your policy or employer’s scheme before treatment starts.

How much does atopic eczema treatment cost in Singapore?

None of the clinics on this page publish eczema treatment prices, so each is listed as Price on enquiry. Your bill depends on the consultation fee, the medicines prescribed, the number of follow-up visits and whether you need phototherapy or systemic treatment.

When you call, ask for the consultation fee, whether medicines are charged separately, the cost per phototherapy session if relevant, and whether quoted prices include GST. Ask whether any part of the bill can be paid with MediSave or claimed on insurance, rather than assuming it can. For subsidised care, ask your polyclinic or GP about a referral to the National Skin Centre.
