FAQ
How much does a dermatologist cost in Malaysia?
A private dermatologist consultation commonly costs RM 100–400, with extra charges for tests or procedures. Hospital specialist clinics are usually at the upper end. Government hospital dermatology is much cheaper but has longer waits.
Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?
In private practice you can usually book directly. Insurers may require a GP referral for panel claims, and government hospitals require a referral letter.
What is the difference between a dermatologist and an aesthetic doctor?
A dermatologist is a specialist in skin disease with postgraduate training. An aesthetic doctor is a medical doctor credentialed for aesthetic procedures and may not be a specialist.
Is skin cancer screening available in Malaysia?
Dermatology clinics can examine moles and suspicious lesions and take biopsies when needed. Ask whether dermoscopy is available and how biopsy results are reported.
