Top 6 Chronic Skin Conditions Clinics in Amman 2026

When do you need a chronic skin conditions clinic?

Chronic skin conditions are long-term problems that tend to come and go in flares rather than clear up for good. The clinics on this page list services for several of them:

• Eczema (atopic dermatitis): dry, itchy, inflamed skin that often flares with irritants, sweat, stress or dry weather.
• Psoriasis: thickened, scaly patches, often on the elbows, knees, scalp or lower back, sometimes with nail changes.
• Vitiligo: patches of skin that lose their colour.
• Rosacea: persistent facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels or bumps.
• Hair loss conditions such as alopecia, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
• Persistent acne and pigmentation problems that do not settle with basic care.

It is worth booking a dermatology visit if:

• A rash or patch has lasted more than a few weeks.
• Itching disturbs your sleep or daily life.
• Your usual products no longer control flares.
• New patches of lost pigment appear, or hair falls out in round patches.
• Psoriasis comes with painful, swollen or stiff joints. Mention this to your doctor, because psoriasis can be linked to joint inflammation.

A mole that is new, changing in size, shape or colour, bleeding or itching should be checked promptly, even if it does not hurt.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away if you notice any of these:

• Swelling of the face, lips or tongue, or difficulty breathing.
• Widespread blistering or peeling skin, especially with fever or after starting a new medicine.
• Red, inflamed skin over most of the body, with chills or feeling very unwell.
• A red, hot, painful area that spreads quickly, particularly with fever.
• In someone with eczema, sudden clusters of painful blisters or punched-out sores together with fever.

How to choose among the clinics here

All five profiles list dermatology alongside cosmetic services. That means the most useful comparison is how closely each clinic's published services match your condition.

• Match the service to the condition. Phototherapy for vitiligo appears on the profiles of Dr Huda Al Qudah's clinic in Shmeisani, which also lists excimer laser therapy, and Dr. Manal Al Hammouri's clinic at 7th Circle. The 7th Circle clinic lists phototherapy for psoriasis too. Eczema and psoriasis follow-up appear at Dr Reem Al Awadi's clinic, and dermatitis and psoriasis care at Helalat Clinic in Dabouq. If your concern involves nails, a suspicious lesion that may need a biopsy, or a child, Dr Reem Al Qudah's clinic in Sweifieh lists nail assessment, skin biopsy and consultations for children and adults.
• Plan for repeat visits. Chronic conditions usually need follow-up appointments. Phototherapy is typically given as a course of sessions, often several times a week for a number of weeks. A clinic close to your home or work, open at hours you can manage, makes it easier to stick to the plan.
• Check the hours against your routine. All five list hours from Saturday to Thursday. Two close earlier on Thursday. Dr Reem Al Awadi's clinic stays open until 18:00 on those days, and Dr Reem Al Qudah's clinic until 18:00 on Sundays.
• Ask how medical and cosmetic care are separated. Clinics that offer both may recommend cosmetic add-ons. You can ask for a plan focused only on the medical condition.
• Remember what the order means. Four profiles share a completeness score of 41 and the fifth scores 39. The ranking reflects published information, not skill or outcomes.

What to expect at the first visit

The dermatologist will usually ask about your history, examine your skin, scalp or nails, and may suggest tests or, in some cases, a small skin biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

How to prepare

• Write down when the problem started, how often it flares and what seems to trigger it.
• Take photos of flares, since the skin may look calmer on the day of your visit.
• Bring every cream, ointment, shampoo and medicine you use, or photos of their labels, including anything bought without a prescription.
• Bring earlier test results, biopsy reports or notes from other doctors.
• Mention any family history of eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo or allergies.
• Ask the clinic whether to avoid applying creams or make-up to the affected area beforehand.

Questions to ask

• What is the likely diagnosis, and is it a long-term condition?
• What treatment options exist, and what are their common side effects?
• How long before I should expect to see a change?
• How often will I need follow-up visits?
• What should I do during a flare, and when should I contact the clinic?
• If phototherapy is suggested: how many sessions, what eye and skin protection is used, and do any of my medicines increase sensitivity to light?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Confirm costs and coverage directly with the clinic before your first visit. Chronic conditions can mean many appointments, so ask about the full course, not just the first consultation.

• What is the fee for the first consultation, and for follow-up visits?
• If phototherapy or laser sessions are recommended, how are they charged: per session or as a package?
• Does the clinic work with your insurer, and does your policy cover dermatology visits?
• Which treatments might your insurer consider cosmetic and exclude?
• Is pre-approval or a referral needed before treatment?
• What is the cancellation or rescheduling policy for missed sessions?

You can start a booking request through each clinic's profile on ClinicsJo.

Getting there

The five clinics are spread across four areas of Amman:

• Shmeisani: Dr Huda Al Qudah's clinic and Dr Reem Al Awadi's clinic, both behind the Specialty Hospital, which makes a useful reference point.
• 7th Circle: Dr. Manal Al Hammouri's clinic.
• Sweifieh: Dr Reem Al Qudah's clinic.
• Dabouq: Helalat Clinic.

If you live or work in Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Abdoun, Jubeiha or the Gardens, compare travel time at the hour you plan to visit. Traffic in the capital can change a short trip considerably, and this matters most for repeated phototherapy sessions.

For emergencies, go to the nearest emergency department rather than a clinic. Amman's major hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, Al-Bashir Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center and Istishari Hospital.
