Common skin problems in Nairobi - and what we do about them
Nairobi skin takes a beating. High-altitude UV at the equator, dust and traffic pollution, hard water, humid short rains and the harsh cosmetic products sold on every street corner all add up to acne, dark marks, itchy rashes and stubborn fungal infections.
At SkinByDrNancy every visit starts with a proper diagnosis - history, examination, and where necessary a skin scraping, a swab, blood tests or a skin biopsy. Only then do we build a treatment plan you can actually afford and stick to.
- Acne & acne scarring
- Eczema & atopic dermatitis
- Dark spots & melasma
- Hair loss & traction alopecia
- Keloids & hypertrophic scars
- Ringworm & fungal infections
- Psoriasis
- Vitiligo
- Warts & skin tags
- Contact dermatitis
- Hidradenitis suppurativa
- Genital skin conditions
Why patients choose this clinic
- A real dermatologist. Skin conditions are diagnosed and treated by Dr Nancy Omwenga, not handed to a therapist working from a product menu.
- Time to explain. Patients consistently say the same thing in reviews - she is thorough, and she explains what is happening to your skin and why.
- Affordable by design. Good dermatology in Nairobi should not be a luxury. Fees are transparent and quoted before you come in.
- Skin of colour expertise. Treatment plans are chosen for melanin-rich skin, where the wrong peel or laser causes more dark marks than it clears.
- One clinic, whole family. Adult, paediatric, medical and aesthetic dermatology in one place.
