Forum Support Mike J Posted July 11, 2019 Forum Support Posted July 11, 2019 I have a rough patch on my face and suspect it may be skin cancer (family history of cancer). Can anyone recommend a good dermatologist in Cebu City? Would prefer someone who could also remove it if it is cancer or precancerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you are not getting responses - sorry to see that. If you ever need them, I can give you names of a good one in Manila and another here in Davao. I know that might not help you, but at least it's something. Next time I visit my derma here - which will be within a month - I will make a point to ask her if she can recommend someone of her caliber, or close to it, in Cebu... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fototek1 Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I asked, "Can you recommend a dermatologist in Cebu that can identify and test for skin cancer and do a removal if needed?" In typical Filipino fashion my friend responded "Sure". I had to clarify my question and am waiting for the name of the person he would trust to check/provide service to his own family member. I may have to ask his wife who is also a very well respected doctor in the Philippines with strong ties to the US and cancer treatment through Lungevity. She has written a series of articles for the Lungevity foundation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone recommend a good dermatologist in Cebu City? Would prefer someone who could also remove it if it is cancer or precancerous. I am back today from Cebu City where I met with Dr. Divina Go. The spot on my face and one on the back of my hand were precancerous. After looking at them Dr. Go checked my entire upper body and fortunately no more were found. I will be applying some liquid to the spots three times a week for 2-3 weeks and they should be gone with no scars. I highly recommend Dr. Go, she is very personable, professional, and thorough. She is first come, first served like many doctors in Cebu. If you want to see her, expect to be waiting at here office door at least 30 minutes before her scheduled hours. http://chonghua.com.ph/index.php/Doctors/profile/160 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
