The CBD has no shortage of chemists handing out combination creams over the counter, and that is precisely why so many of the rashes we see have been treated three times before anyone made a diagnosis. SkinByDrNancy is about ten minutes from town at Landmark Plaza, 2nd Floor, Argwings Kodhek Rd – close enough to come in a lunch break.

The clinic was built around affordable, high-quality dermatology. Fees are quoted before you attend, most medical insurance schemes are accepted, and we take cash, card and M-Pesa.

Common reasons CBD patients come in

Rashes that will not clear

Ringworm, tinea of the groin and feet, and rashes made unrecognisable by months of combination creams containing a strong steroid. A two-minute skin scraping usually settles it – see fungal and bacterial skin infections.

Acne and dark marks

Especially in students and young workers who have been through a long list of over-the-counter products. See acne treatment and hyperpigmentation treatment.

Damage from lightening creams

The products sold openly around town cause thinning, stretch marks, steroid acne, permanent broken vessels and rebound darkening. We manage the withdrawal and treat the aftermath.

Confidential STI and genital skin care

Discreet, judgement-free assessment and treatment of genital skin conditions and sexually transmitted infections – one of the commonest reasons people delay, and one of the easiest things to sort out once you are seen. See STI and genital skin treatment.

Shaving bumps, folliculitis and razor rash

Pseudofolliculitis barbae on the beard and neck, and the dark bumps it leaves. Treatable with a mix of technique change, topical therapy and, where needed, in-clinic treatment.

Affordable dermatology, honestly priced

A single dermatology consultation that reaches the right diagnosis is almost always cheaper than six months of chemist creams that do not. That is not a sales line – it is the arithmetic most of our patients do out loud in the consulting room once they add up what they have already spent.

  • Fees are quoted by reception before you come in.
  • Most medical insurance schemes are accepted for medical dermatology.
  • Cash, card and M-Pesa all accepted.
  • Treatment plans are built around what you can realistically sustain, not around an expensive product range.

Easy to reach from town

Landmark Plaza is a short trip from the CBD along Valley Road or Ngong Road – roughly ten minutes by car outside peak, and a straightforward matatu or boda ride. Opening at 7:00am on weekdays means you can be seen before work, and Saturday mornings run from 7:00am to 12:00pm.

Services we offer for CBD patients

The full range of medical dermatology, plus confidential venereology and in-clinic procedures – a short trip from town.

FAQs

Dermatologist in Nairobi CBD – common questions

How far is the clinic from Nairobi CBD?

Roughly ten to fifteen minutes off-peak via Valley Road or Ngong Road to Argwings Kodhek Rd.

How much is a dermatologist consultation?

Fees depend on whether you are booking a consultation, a procedure or a review, and on whether you are using insurance. Reception will quote you exactly before you come in – call 0728 566990.

Can I come during my lunch break?

Yes. Midday slots are available, and we also open at 7:00am on weekdays if that suits better.

Are STI consultations confidential?

Completely. Nothing is shared with anyone, and you can pay privately rather than through insurance if you prefer – just tell reception.

I have used a lightening cream and my skin has got worse. Can you help?

Yes, and it is one of the most common problems we see. Bring the product with you. Stopping abruptly can cause a rebound flare, so the withdrawal is managed properly alongside treatment.

Do you take M-Pesa?

Yes – cash, card, M-Pesa and most major medical insurance schemes.
