Top 7 Dermatology & Venereology Clinics in Amman 2026

When do you need a dermatology & venereology clinic?

Dermatology & venereology covers the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. The venereology side covers sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Common reasons people in Amman book a visit include:

• Acne that is leaving marks or scars, or that pharmacy products have not controlled
• Persistent itch, rash, dry or scaly patches, such as eczema or psoriasis
• White or pale patches (vitiligo), uneven pigmentation, or facial redness and flushing such as rosacea
• Hair shedding, patchy hair loss, scalp problems or changes in the nails
• Warts, skin tags, cysts and other growths
• A mole that is new, changing, bleeding or looks different from your other moles
• Genital sores, warts or unusual discharge, or worry after a possible STI exposure

For moles, mainstream guidance uses the ABCDE checks: Asymmetry, an irregular Border, uneven Colour, a Diameter that is growing, and Evolving, meaning any change over time. Book a prompt appointment rather than waiting if a mole shows any of these, or if a spot or sore has not healed within a few weeks.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away if you have:

• Swelling of the lips, tongue, face or throat, or difficulty breathing, especially after a new medicine, food or insect sting
• A widespread rash with blisters or peeling skin, or sores in the mouth, eyes or genitals, especially with fever
• A red, hot, painful patch of skin that is spreading quickly, with fever or feeling very unwell
• A rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it, together with fever
• A blistering rash near the eye, or eye pain or a change in vision alongside a skin rash

A routine clinic appointment is not the right first step for any of these.

How to choose among the clinics here

The list order reflects profile completeness, not clinical skill. Choose by matching each clinic's published services, area and hours to your own needs.

• Medical conditions vs cosmetic care. All seven profiles list both kinds of services, but the emphasis differs. Dr Huda Al Qudah's profile highlights vitiligo, psoriasis and eczema, with phototherapy and excimer laser options. Dr Reem Al Awadi and Dr Mohammad Helalat list acne, scarring and pigmentation alongside aesthetic treatments.
• Skin checks and procedures. If you want a mole assessed, a lesion removed or a biopsy taken, check the services lists. Dr Hannah Naasan lists mole mapping, biopsy and skin cancer surgery. Dr Reem Al Qudah lists biopsy, excision, cyst removal and nail disorder assessment.
• Children. The profiles of Dr Hannah Naasan and Dr Reem Al Qudah state that they see children as well as adults.
• Multi-specialty centres. At Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre Outpatient Clinics and at Al Khalidi Medical Plaza, the linked doctors shown are from other specialties. Ask for the dermatologist's name and clinic days before you go. These centres can suit people who also need other specialists or tests in the same building.
• Similar names. Two doctors share the surname Al Qudah: Dr Huda in Shmeisani and Dr Reem in Sweifieh. There are also two doctors named Reem: Dr Reem Al Awadi in Shmeisani and Dr Reem Al Qudah in Sweifieh. Confirm the full name when you book.
• Who performs the procedure. For injections or laser, ask who carries out the treatment. Dr Hannah Naasan's profile states that she performs injectable treatments herself.

What to expect at the first visit

The doctor will usually ask about your history and examine the affected skin, often with a handheld magnifier called a dermatoscope. A full skin check may be offered. If a biopsy is needed, a small sample is taken under local anaesthetic and sent for analysis. Results take some time to come back.

Bring with you:

• A list of every medicine you use, including creams, supplements and recent antibiotics
• Photos of the rash or flare if it comes and goes
• Earlier test results, biopsy reports or prescriptions from other doctors
• Your ID and insurance card, if you plan to use insurance

Before the visit: If you can, avoid makeup or heavy creams on the area that will be examined. Remove nail polish if your concern involves the nails. Tell the doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy, because some skin medicines and cosmetic treatments are not suitable during these times.

Questions worth asking:

• What is the likely cause, and do I need any tests?
• What are my options, including their side effects and how long before I might see a change?
• When should I come back, and what should prompt me to return sooner?
• For cosmetic treatments: how many sessions are expected, what is the downtime, and who performs the treatment?

Sexual health consultations are confidential. Ask whether a partner should also be tested.

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

None of the seven profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask for prices when you call to book. Insurance details also vary:

• Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre Outpatient Clinics lists Arab Orient Insurance.
• Dr Hannah Naasan's profile states that insurance is not accepted.
• For the other clinics, ask directly.

Useful questions:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• Are biopsies, cryotherapy or laboratory tests priced separately from the consultation?
• For cosmetic procedures, what is the price per session, and is a package offered?
• Does my insurer need pre-approval, and will it cover the procedure at all?
• What is the cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Getting there

Amman is large, and traffic can add a lot of time at peak hours. Plan your route before the day.

• Shmeisani: Dr Huda Al Qudah's and Dr Reem Al Awadi's clinics are both behind the Specialty Hospital, a useful landmark when you give directions.
• Sweifieh: Dr Reem Al Qudah's clinic is the option here, which may be convenient if you are coming from 7th Circle or Abdoun.
• Dabouq: Dr Mohammad Helalat's clinic serves people living in or near Dabouq and Khalda.
• Central Amman: The two multi-specialty centres and Dr Hannah Naasan's hospital-based clinic are in central Amman. Their entries above give the street, building and floor.

When you book, ask about parking and which entrance or floor to use, especially at hospital buildings.

Checklist before you book
