  2. Dear Dom,

    I’m Chandra from Indonesia, I’m planning to visit Malaysia this year-end to see dermatologist specializing in psoriasis, specifically in Kuching, Miri and Kinabalu, and which is more recommendable? I’d appreciate very much your prompt reply!

    Thank you and God bless!

    • Hi Chandra, Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I am unable to advise you on Kuching, Miri and KK. I hope some of the readers of this blog will be able to help you.

      Should you be visiting Kuala Lumpur – please see the names of the doctors we have posted on this blog. Personally, my derm is Doctor Koh as listed and he has been my dermatologist for many years. All the best :)

      • Well, i’ll have to see on that! But thank’s for your kind reply!
        God bless!

  3. my hubby’s friend is suffering from psoriasis and conditions are getting worse.. As finances are not very comfortable, we would like to see this friend recover well.. He has been visiting our Gourvernment hospitas but conditions still worsen.. Can u pls recomend a ‘resonably priced’ dr or medication for this condition.. It breaks my heart to see a friend suffer.. BTW we live in subang jaya and our friend in PJ. Thanks

    • Hi Donna,

      Thanks for your email. Psoriasis can be heart breaking and many of the members of the Psoriasis Association understands how it feels to have this condition. Without knowing the condition of your friends – first is it localised psoriasis (1 or 2 spots) or systemic (all over the body). If it is systemic – the first thing to do is to see a professional dermatologist who deals with psoriasis patients. Best to seek out the dermatologist which are very familiar with treating psoriasis. Here are some doctors that we have experience with (see link below). I am Dr Koh’s patient and he is familiar with psoriasis and has the expertise to treat and advise. From my experience with Dr Koh – a patient can also discuss his/her condition and the options to manage the condition given the available budget. His clinic is in PJ (Dsara Uptown) and he also consults at University Hospital PJ, on Fridays.

  4. hi donna,
    i would like to give some opinion, but my english is not good..i hope u can understand what i’m trying to explain.

    I have psoriasis for 17 years. But started to get the medicine since 1998. I hv go to so many clinic at jb and even singapore but finally i found that i only can survive with medicine from gov hospital.. Please meet the specialist and do the blood test to get the right picture of which degree of psoriasis that u’r husband friend have. I hv a plague psoriasis all over the body. Sometimes it is ‘gatal2′.

    Few advise from the specialist:
    1. Reduce ur weight (if ur over weight) n it work on me
    2. Reduce to much protein in ur diet.
    3. Make sure wear clothes that has been dried under sunlight.
    4. Be positif in ur life (psoriasis patient can not stressed or it will be worst)
    5. Try to be under sunlight at the beach.

    Avoid:
    1. Dirty environment.
    2. Steroid medicine unless ur in the critical stage..

    Few medicine that can be used..
    1.betamethasone
    2. Daivonex
    3. Daivobet
    4. Aquos
    please get it from the Dr. Coz they know the right doses.

    And last but not least..
    I drink pink guava juice every night ang morning and it really help me to reduce my psoriasis..and at certain2 time it gone..but psoriasis will come and go…so after a few month i got it back but not as worst as be4.. I used sunrise brand.
    (it expensive(to me) but really work -for me lah)Too many to share but not enough time so if u have anything to ask you can email me at poohjaybee@y.c. Tq
