Dr. Koh's clinic is very popular... A lot of high profile and celebrities go to him. I used to be his patient as well. However, I don't think his charges is between 50-100. It's probably more.

Thanks! We hope to be able to help...

rashes and itchy skin? Dry, chapped lips? How long you've been having this? Also, how much water do you drink each day? Are you taking any medications for any condition (e.g. acne)? Sometimes the side effects of such medications can reduce skin hydration. Also could be a allergic reaction.

Another factor could be hygiene, especially near these private areas... Maybe never change underwear too long (due to long working hours) or hard to reach during bathing. Difficult to say, but if you can take a picture of the rash and post here might be helpful for us.

Hopefully, we'll get a skin expert to comment here...

But, if it's giving really giving your problems, you really should see a doctor. Have you seen a normal GP about this? maybe some creams might help, may not need to see specialist yet? Some Calamine lotion may be able to reduce your itchiness.

thank you very much.
i used to have dry lips last time when not taking enough water. but it's nothing like this. it's like a whole layer of dry skin on my upper lip. i tried to apply some vaseline, it helps but it cannot cure. everytime i stop, it will come back. so, i have to apply it like everyday. sad.gif i have this for about 1 year already. but i never consult any doctor.

as for the private part. sorry, i cannot post a photo here sleep.gif anyway, talking about my working hours.. hmm.. ya, sometimes i work more than 12 hours a day. but just office work. although sometime after come home, i will take another 3-4 hours before bath. but surely i will take bath every morning and night and quite thoroughly (at least after i have this symptom sad.gif ) and surely i will change underwear. I don't have any medication with me as of now. So, sometimes i even apply vaseline for this problem. i don't know if it helps. sad.gif

talking about GP. i haven't see any doctor yet. Because nowadays, i don't know what is the capability of a GP anymore. are they good at anything? or just fever and simply give medicine. sometime don't know whether to trust them or not. too bad sad.gif and specialist always came into my mind automatically. but problem is specialist is expensive and not guarantee to be good. Maybe i was wrong and thinking too much. Maybe as you said, i should consult a GP instead. i really don't know what kind of sickness they can diagnose?

For the upper lip, try putting before sleep as well. Or you can try those with analgesics to ease the pain. Btw for the past 1 year, have you changed your working environment? You can also visit your nearest dentist to have it checked.

For your anus, is it tinea cruris? Google the picture and compare and let us know biggrin.gif

If you want straight teeth, the most reasonable solution is to wear bracers. You will look "uglier" for a couple of years, but it's better than "ugly" for your lifetime.

Tooth bleaching, in office. Probably around RM1000+.

hey klifex! Thanks for posting up here again... Could i get your details as in which area of healthcare you working in so i can put on my first post, please?

Anyways, just wanted to report to you guys that I'm going to do ACL reconstruction on my right knee at Penang GH this Tuesday... Will be on leave for at least 6 weeks to 3 months. So probably, I'll be more active on this thread. Wish me luck guys! Haha, come visit me if you're in the area.

May I ask a few questions:

Do you have asthma? or frequently have runny nose or eczema? The rash mainly on the face only is it? Can you describe the rash? Better still, can you take a picture of the rash? Will you get the rash only after you eat certain foods? What kind of foods usually trigger these rashes? How old are you, are you male or female?

Sorry so many questions. sweat.gif

I think there are other brands too if I'm not mistaken that would be quite "invisible" yet does the job?

Right ACL reconstruction Total Cost:

RM 5140 for implants

RM 9500 for allograft (an allograft is a fresh sample frozen from a dead guy, note the price is already discounted cos i'm a doctor/government servant). Maybe it's the ligament of some pretty girl. hmmm...

= RM 14640!!!

Anyone willing to sponsor me? thumbup.gif


Added on September 22, 2011, 9:24 amnoone want to sponsor? so sad... anyways, I've successfully completed my right ACL reconstruction and discharged home already.

All i can say is... PAIN! now on crutches, hobbling along slowly. doing self-physiotherapy at home.

Anyone who wants to know what happens during operations or how to prepare yourself before going for an operation, please post here!

How about lingual braces? My sister is doing lingual braces at Dr Reuben How's clinic in Berjaya Times Square. Can't see it at all. I see a lot of korean staff at the clinic... Is Dr Reuben Malaysian or Korean?

Malaysian... trained in Aussie....... lingual braces is very challenging for the orthodontist to place and make adjustments.... hence the premium price tag.....
