Acne, eczema, psoriasis, mole and skin-cancer screening, cosmetic dermatology, and chronic wound care — clinical skin expertise in Spanish Town.
Caribbean sun, the humidity of a Jamaican summer, and a culture that lives outdoors — skin is the organ that takes most of the local climate's character. For some patients the question is acne that hasn't responded to anything from the pharmacy shelf; for others it's a mole that's started changing colour; for still others it's an eczema flare that's been managed-but-not-resolved for years.
Amadeo's dermatology service is built for all three. Evaluation, dermatoscopy where indicated, structured treatment plans, and a follow-up cadence designed to match the condition — not a one-visit prescription handoff. When biopsy or cosmetic procedures are needed, they're handled in-clinic; when a referral makes more sense, it's coordinated through our specialist network.

Acne is the biggest category — adolescents and adults whose pharmacy washes haven't moved the needle, and who want a structured treatment plan with realistic timelines. The team uses a stepped approach (topical first, oral antibiotics or retinoids when needed, hormonal options where appropriate) and explains why this skin condition needs months, not days, to respond.
The next is eczema and psoriasis — chronic conditions that flare with humidity, stress, and laundry products, and that benefit from a long-term management plan rather than a series of one-off prescriptions. We also see a steady stream of mole evaluations: patients who've noticed a change in size, colour, or texture and want a dermatoscope review with a biopsy if indicated.
For cosmetic concerns: scar revision, persistent hyperpigmentation, melasma, and skincare-regimen design tailored to Caribbean climate and skin types. These conversations start at consultation and develop into a treatment plan that fits the patient's budget and tolerance.
Skin care for the climate we actually live in. The dermatology team understands what humidity, year-round sun exposure, and a tropical climate do to acne, eczema, melasma, and pigmentation — and tailors treatment for the skin types we actually see in Jamaica, not the textbook examples from a colder country.
Structured follow-up, not a one-prescription handoff. Skin conditions take months to respond. Our dermatology pathway includes scheduled follow-ups so the treatment plan can be adjusted as it goes, not abandoned because nothing changed in two weeks.
Over 30,000 families have come through these doors. The dermatology team is part of that continuity — your skin chart, your mole-check baseline, your previous biopsies all live in the same record. You and yours will be in great hands.
If pharmacy washes and over-the-counter products haven't improved things in 8–12 weeks, or if the acne is leaving scars or pigmentation, it's worth a dermatology consultation. The earlier the structured plan starts, the less long-term scarring.
A focused skin exam with dermatoscope review of any concerning lesions. The dermatologist looks at asymmetry, border, colour, diameter, and evolution. If a mole looks suspicious, a small biopsy can be done in-clinic and sent for pathology — results typically back within a week.
Yes. Both are managed long-term with a combination of topicals, identification of triggers, lifestyle adjustments, and where needed systemic treatment. The plan is built to fit your routine and revisited at follow-up.
Cost depends on the visit type and any procedures. We work with most major Jamaican health insurance providers for medical dermatology; cosmetic procedures are usually self-pay. Call (876) 676-5098 for a current estimate.
Medical dermatology treats conditions (acne, eczema, skin cancer, infections) and is typically covered by insurance. Cosmetic dermatology addresses appearance concerns (scar revision, pigmentation, skincare regimens) and is self-pay. Both happen at the same clinic — the consultation tells you which category your concern falls into.
