Let’s understand why.

From an itchy rash to a raised scar or a changing spot, begin with a medical conversation rather than choosing a cosmetic procedure.

THE MICHIKO APPROACH

Considered care.
Personal to you.

THE CLEAR ANSWER

What does this
care involve?

General skin care begins with examining the symptoms and medical history. MICHIKO’s service information includes assessment of selected skin growths, raised scars, fungal concerns, dermatitis and hair loss. The appropriate treatment, testing or specialist referral depends on the diagnosis.

MICHIKO · YOUR QUESTIONS, EXPLAINED

General Skin Diseases.
Beyond the treatment name.

Moles, skin tags and other growths

Not every growth should be removed solely because it is visible. A lesion that changes in size, shape or colour, bleeds or does not heal needs assessment first. The clinician will discuss whether removal is suitable and whether pathology or referral is needed. The approach should preserve the ability to diagnose a suspicious lesion.

Raised scars and keloids

Raised scars differ from depressed acne scars. The history of the wound, symptoms, growth pattern and previous response help determine the options. Injection or other treatment may be considered, but recurrence can occur and repeated review may be needed. Tell the doctor if you have previously formed keloids before choosing any elective procedure.

Rashes, fungal concerns and irritation

Different conditions can look similar. A fungal rash, eczema, contact allergy and irritation do not necessarily need the same cream. Avoid repeatedly using an unidentified mixed cream or steroid without a diagnosis. Bring photographs showing the rash at its worst and the names of treatments already used. Testing may be appropriate when the diagnosis is unclear.

Hair loss needs a cause-based plan

Gradual thinning, sudden shedding, patchy loss and an inflamed scalp are different patterns. Illness, medicines, nutritional issues, hormonal factors and scalp conditions may contribute. Assessment may include further tests or referral; one injection or supplement should not be presented as the answer to every type of hair loss.

Make the consultation useful

Note when the concern started, symptoms such as itch or pain, changes over time and anything that helps or worsens it. Bring current medicines, allergies and previous treatment details. Rapidly spreading redness with fever, severe pain, eye involvement or a serious allergic reaction needs urgent medical care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.

WHY MICHIKO

General Skin Diseases.
Considered at MICHIKO.

Dr. Gift and our medical team start with symptoms and history, explain the likely next step and recognise when testing or referral is needed. That medical assessment comes before a cosmetic recommendation.

Your skin. Your own rhythm.

Start with your concern

Describe what has changed and what you hope to improve. The assessment comes before a programme recommendation.

LISTEN

Understand the options

Compare the approaches that fit your assessment. Understand what each can improve, where its limits lie and whether a simpler first step would suit you.

ASSESS

Choose a clear plan

Discuss the exact method or product, expected benefit, limits, risks and total cost. There is time to decide and room to choose a simpler plan.

PLAN

Keep the conversation open

Know your aftercare, review timing and how to contact the team. Your response helps shape the next step.

CARE

Make space for your questions

Feel prepared.
Know what comes next.

Before your visit

Bring details of previous procedures, current medicines and supplements, allergies and any recent skin reaction. Tell the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Mention work, travel and event dates so the plan can account for recovery and follow-up. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice.

After your treatment

Follow the diagnosis-specific plan, including how to use medicines and when to return. Do not share prescriptions or use an old mixed cream for a new rash. Seek prompt care if symptoms spread rapidly, become painful or are accompanied by fever.

Review before repeating

Agree on a review point and the change you are hoping to see. Your response, side effects and priorities should guide the next step. Ask for a clear quote covering the proposed product or method, quantity where relevant, and follow-up.

BEFORE YOU VISIT

Your questions.
Space for clear answers.

Can you diagnose a skin problem from a photo?

Photos can help triage and show changes over time, but may not replace an examination or testing.

Will every concern be treated on the same day?

Not always. A diagnosis, further information, a test or referral may be needed before treatment.

Should I remove a changing mole for appearance?

Have it examined first. The safest next step depends on whether further diagnostic assessment is needed.

Where can I discuss this in Bangkok?
