Help!! Advice needed
Hi,
I have been in qatar for a year. I am having trouble with skin for last 7 years. Main problem is acne and ichthyosis. Now It's mild om face and severe on chest and back.
I consulted Dr Jameel at Al rafa polyclinic. He's good. But I cant continue the treatment there bcs my case needs long term treatment. Per visit I want to pay about 300 Riyal for only medications. I cant afford it bcs I dont get salary properly(Always delayed).
I heard that at govt hospitals we get considerable reduction in fees and medicines. I want to know which is the best dermatologist at govt hospital (Hamad Rumailiah etc..).
And also please tell if there is any procedures like chemical peeling, laser treatment etc.. is available there.
Please help. It's really serious. I dont want to go to every doctors and make an investigation for the best.
Please share what you know.
Thanks for the reply. I have studied deeply about the disease. Mine is moderately severe ichtyosis and severe acne.
The problem is when I treat acne skin will dry and more flakes. And when I treat ichthyosis, ie when use oils and creams, Oh... It's like feeding the acne to populate.
And dove soap also dries my skin. Dr Jameel prescribed oilatum soap. It's good But still dries a little.
Now I use Seba Med soap. It also same like oilatum little dryness
I found a page at hamad hospital website. They say laser and phototherapy is there. This is giving me some hope.

I am getting it soon. (I think its the same card that you should have to get appointment at hamad hospital which cost only 100QR)
But Will private hospitals accept it? If so which hospitals??
I suggest that u must secure a Health / Medical Card so that it will be easier for your budget. Its like an insurance, so its better if u can ask ur company to provide u. There many clinics that are accepting this Card.
good luck
