The arm of Inpatient Dermatology at the National Skin Centre primarily serves the skin needs of patients admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Renci Community Hospital and the National Centre for Infectious Diseases.

We have 2 models of care in Inpatient Dermatology:

1. Patients of NSC with poorly controlled or extensive skin disease may be hospitalised for the treatment of their skin condition. The Inpatient Dermatology team will be directly in-charge of the care of such patients upon admission. Common diagnoses encountered include Erythroderma, generalised Eczema or Psoriasis, Bullous Pemphigoid or Pemphigus.

2. Patients hospitalised in the aforementioned hospitals under the care of other disciplines may be referred to the team of Inpatient Dermatologists for various skin disorders. Such referrals encompass a vast spectrum of skin diseases ranging from various fungal or scabetic infestations to cutaneous adverse drug reactions to other systemic illnesses and/or connective tissue diseases which manifest on the skin.
