If you live or work in Hurlingham, this is your local dermatology clinic – not a drive across town. Landmark Plaza sits on Argwings Kodhek Rd, in the middle of the Hurlingham stretch between Ngong Road and Valley Road, and SkinByDrNancy is on the 2nd floor.
That means you can have a skin problem properly assessed by a dermatologist on your way to work, in a lunch break, or on a Saturday morning, without booking a whole day out for it.
A dermatology clinic on Argwings Kodhek Rd
Hurlingham has plenty of chemists, plenty of salons and plenty of general clinics. What it has far less of is somewhere a qualified dermatologist will examine your skin, take a scraping or a biopsy if the diagnosis is not obvious, and tell you honestly what is going on.
That is the whole point of this clinic. Dr Nancy Omwenga sees every patient personally, performs the clinic’s procedures herself, and prices the service so that proper dermatology is not a luxury purchase.
- Walk-in friendly – we take walk-ins whenever the diary allows.
- Open from 7:00am Monday to Friday, and 7:00am to 12:00pm on Saturdays.
- Whole family – babies, children, teenagers and adults.
- Insurance accepted – most major schemes, plus cash, card and M-Pesa.
What we treat for Hurlingham patients
Hurlingham is a mix of apartment residents, office workers, students and families, and the caseload reflects that.
- Acne – teenage, adult and hormonal, plus the dark marks and scarring that follow.
- Eczema and dermatitis – in children and adults, including contact reactions to soaps, detergents and cosmetics.
- Fungal and bacterial infections – ringworm, tinea, nail fungus, folliculitis and boils, diagnosed with a scraping rather than guessed at.
- Dark spots and melasma – treated safely, without the lightening creams sold along the road.
- Skin tags, warts and moles – removed in the clinic by cryotherapy, electrocautery or excision.
- Chemical peels and microneedling – medical-grade, dosed for your skin type.
Local, convenient, and open early
Being on Argwings Kodhek Rd means you are a few minutes from Yaya Centre, the Hurlingham shops, Ngong Road, Valley Road and the Upper Hill hospital cluster. It also means you can genuinely pop in – which matters, because the single biggest reason skin conditions get worse is that people put off being seen.
If you have been treating the same rash with a third cream from the chemist, or watching a mole slowly change, the clinic is a short walk away. Book an appointment or call 0728 566990.

Other areas we serve
What having a dermatologist on your doorstep actually changes
Very few skin conditions are settled in a single appointment. Acne, eczema, melasma, hair loss and psoriasis are all managed rather than cured, and the gap between a good result and a disappointing one usually comes down to one thing: whether the plan was adjusted as things went along.
That is where being local genuinely matters. When the clinic is a short walk or a two-minute drive from your house, a review stops being an expedition:
- A treatment that is irritating your skin gets changed in week two, rather than abandoned in month three.
- A flare can be seen while it is still active – which is exactly when it is easiest to diagnose correctly.
- Treatments that work as a course, such as peels, injections and microneedling, get spaced properly instead of squeezed around travel.
- Wound checks and dressing changes after a biopsy or excision take ten minutes instead of half a day.
Hurlingham patients tend to do well for precisely this reason. Not because they are given different treatment, but because the follow-up actually happens.
It also makes the clinic realistic for the small things people otherwise ignore – a mole that has changed slightly, a patch that has not cleared, a child’s rash that is probably nothing. Those are the visits that matter most, and they are the first to be skipped when the journey is long.
Walk-ins are welcome whenever the diary allows, which for a neighbour usually means calling on the day rather than booking a week ahead.
Being seen quickly when something changes
The other advantage of a local clinic is speed when it matters. Some things genuinely should not wait a fortnight for an appointment: a spreading rash with fever, a painful swollen area, a mole that has started bleeding or changing shape, a severe reaction after starting a new medicine, or a child’s rash that is spreading quickly. If any of those apply, call 0728 566990 and say so when you ring – reception will fit you in rather than book you in. For Hurlingham residents that usually means being examined the same day, which for this particular set of problems is exactly what changes the outcome.
