I remember back in high school I started to have rashes all over my legs. It became worse after several days and the itch became intolerable. My mom started panicking and initially thought that it was a sign of Type II Diabetes. She wanted to rush me to the nearest hospital, but I just told her to bring me to a clinic the following day.
We went to Clinica Manila and scheduled an appointment with their dermatologist. The nurses were really nice and they were more than happy to answer all of our questions regarding the clinic. When my turn finally came, I met Dr. Claire Palabyab. She told me that what I had was just a mild form of Atopic dermatitis (DON'T GOOGLE THIS), a type of skin asthma that makes your skin really dry. She gave me Corticosteroid cream to prevent inflammation. It took about one whole week for my legs to fully recover. The topical cream was like a miracle medicine.
My AD lead to scarring and I didn't wear shorts for a whole year to cover my "peklat". Good thing Clinica Manila sells their own bleaching lotion and salicylic acid that helped in the removal of my scars. They also have very reliable and efficient doctors that are always willing to help people. read more
