I am also a patient of Dr Ranjit Singh since last 20th December 2010. He gave me an antibiotic, and a jel to apply.

About 5 days ago, I went to appoint him, he said I need to continue to take the antibiotic for 6-8 months in order to kill the acne bacteria. Then, he also gave roaccutane, however the amount is only 10 mg, and I'm only allowed to take 1 pill at a day.

However, my acne actually worse than before I take roaccutane, and my lips are dried.

Have anyone experince this?

is this doctor still exist? seems dont answer call nor can i find his clinic anymore

I dont know if this thread is still active. But for anyone that is suffering from acne. ROACCUTANE is the best drug there is out there right now hands DOWN. Take it from someone like me, i know, coz i suffered from acne for years .... all those over the counter pills,creams yada yada yada are ALL BS. Tea Tree oil ? Dalacin T ? Pro active solutions ? i tried them all .... the acne ALWAYS comes back, and when they do, they become more powerful than ever, probably due to they growing resistance towards watever i was using before.
      SO again, guys and gals .... IF you are suffering from ACNE, trust me, i know how you feel, LIKE SHIT, coz tats how i felt, so TRUST ME on this, RO ACCUTANE is the way to go. This drug doesnt kill the acne the traditional method, it works by STARVING the little critters, you see, wat this drug does is it control your oil production on your skin, thus you will experience dry skin and lips, so when ur oil productions is lessen, the little bastards will starve to death and eventually you will have clear skin, usually it takes about 8~12 months. And since it doesnt directly kill the bacteria, it have no chance to build up any sort of resistance, pure genius, whoever created this drug.
    And, yes i have read comments on top saying that their acne actually worsen during the first few months of using this drug, guys and gals, i am no doctor, but i really think that is NORMAL, coz my acne got worst as well during the first 3 months of using this drug, then eventually, everything cleared up, thank GOD. So just persevere okay guys and gals, dun jump to conclusion so fast. Oh and for the record, i took the drug when i was 26, and i have been acne free ever since(TOUCH WOOD !!), today, im 33 years old. GOOD LUCK !! i hope my post will enlighthen and help some of u guys and gals out there :-)

    P/S: I had to add this info in as well, DONT just rely on drugs alone, often times its our lifestyle that aggravate and promote acne growth on our already acne prone skins, sure u can blame genetics and all .... but tough luck guys, your born with shitty acne prone skins, nothing we can do about it right ? so just practise a healthy lifestyle and combine that with good acne drugs ... God willing, you will be acne free in no time. And by healthy lifestyle i mean SLEEP EARLY !! EAT LOTS OF VEGE AND FRUITS AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER !! being a gym freak like me help too    Oh, and if anyone's wondering, the Dermatologists i would recommend is Dr.Jasmine Ruth from MEDIVIRON UOA clinic. GOOD LUCK !!

Hi, I went to Dr Ranjit Singh for my skin problem too, only to be misdiagnosed with Eczema and was given oral steroids which made my Psoriasis to be what it is now, serious enough to be unfit to work.

I have it on my hands, palms, feet, sole and recently it has progressed into Psoriasis Arthritis. (not only can't work, now difficult to 'walk' also)

Summary: Dr Tan is a very experienced Dermatologist, and gives no non-sense advice for skin problems. Very good in solving skin problems. However, her consultation is on a more pricey side, but it's worth it. Her clinic is not that crowded (probably due to it's pricey consultation).

Hi, his clinic is still there, if he is not in the clinic, his staff are off as well.
Can't find his name card, but I remember his clinic is opened on Friday PM and Sat AM.
If nobody answers in the morning, try calling in the afternoon.

Hi, do you know his opening hours? how about if i wish to go see him after 7pm??

Hi, I’m suffering from serious folliculitis infection. It started from my leg and spread to my upper body and now my whole body is affected. The scars/pigmentation is too terrible and since then my confidence level has reduced a lot. I have been taking some medication from a skin specialist in Jalan Ipoh. She prescribes me acnotin. It did help to reduce the infection i.e the size and frequency of acne appearance. She told me I have to take it for 6 months only. Nevertheless, it continues until 15 months. The medicine is very expensive. I did not see the complete cure thus decided to stop the medication.  It’s almost five years since I first infected by folliculitis and I still couldn’t find a complete cure.

If anyone has similar problem with me, please share your treatment experience in fighting this infection.
