Top 5 Dermatology Clinics in Irbid 2026

When do you need a dermatologist?

Dermatology covers the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. Many dermatology clinics also offer cosmetic care using laser and injections. Common reasons people in Irbid see a dermatologist include:

• acne
• eczema and psoriasis
• fungal infections and warts
• hair loss
• moles or skin lumps that need checking or removal

Some clinics also offer chemical peels.

Consider booking a visit if you have:

• a rash that keeps coming back or has lasted for weeks
• acne that has not improved with simple over-the-counter care
• unusual spots or patches on the skin
• severe itching, or a skin reaction you think may be an allergy
• sudden or patchy hair loss
• nail changes such as thickening, discolouration or lifting that do not settle

Mainstream guidance, including the NHS, advises getting a mole or spot checked if it:

• changes in size, shape or colour
• has an irregular edge or several colours
• bleeds, itches or crusts
• is a sore that has not healed within a few weeks

Most such changes turn out to be harmless, but a doctor should look at them rather than you waiting to see.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Some skin problems are emergencies. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you notice any of the following:

• swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, wheezing or difficulty breathing, especially after a new medicine, food or insect sting
• a rash that spreads quickly with fever, or a rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it
• widespread blistering or peeling skin, or sores in the mouth, eyes or genitals, particularly after starting a new medicine
• skin that is red, hot, swollen and painful and is spreading, especially with fever or chills
• burns that are large or deep, or that affect the face, hands or genitals

Do not wait for a clinic appointment in these situations.

How to choose among the clinics here

The five clinics on this page differ more than their shared specialty suggests. A few practical checks help you match a clinic to your need.

• Dermatology focus. Two clinics, Rasha Al-Shannaq Dermatology Clinic and Rasmia Al-Saad Dermatology Clinic, list dermatology as their only specialty and each has a named doctor. Derma Class Clinics, Dyne Clinic and Al-Yousef Clinic are multi-specialty. The services published on their profiles are currently dental, so ask what dermatology services they provide and who provides them.
• Medical or cosmetic care. Rasmia Al-Saad's description mentions skin procedures and laser services. Derma Class's description mentions skin care and laser hair removal. For any laser or cosmetic procedure, ask:
• who performs it
• whether a medical consultation comes first
• how suitability is assessed for your skin type
• Opening hours. Two clinics publish confirmed hours. Rasha Al-Shannaq opens 08:30–16:30 and Rasmia Al-Saad opens 10:00–17:00, both Saturday to Thursday. If you study or work at Yarmouk University or Jordan University of Science and Technology, check which time window fits your timetable. For the other clinics, ask for current hours.
• Location within the governorate. Irbid has around 2.2 million residents, and travel time varies a lot. Four of the clinics are in Irbid city areas, and one is listed in North Shuna. Choosing a clinic you can reach easily makes follow-up visits more realistic, since conditions such as acne, eczema and hair loss often need several reviews.
• Insurance. Only Rasmia Al-Saad lists an insurer (Arab Orient Insurance). If you rely on insurance, confirm coverage with your insurer as well as the clinic.

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is. It is not a judgement of skill or results.

What to expect at the first visit

A first dermatology appointment usually includes:

• questions about your symptoms, how long you have had them and what makes them better or worse
• an examination of the affected skin, hair or nails
• sometimes a closer look at moles with a magnifying instrument

The doctor may suggest tests, such as a skin scraping for fungal infection, blood tests for some types of hair loss, or a small sample (biopsy) of a lesion.

To prepare:

• List your medicines. Write down every medicine, cream, supplement and cosmetic product you use, including anything you have already tried for the problem.
• Photograph flare-ups. If a rash comes and goes, take photos when it is at its worst.
• Keep the area visible. Avoid make-up, fake tan or nail polish on the affected area if possible.
• Note the timing of hair loss. For hair loss, note when it started and any recent illness, stress, weight change or new medicine.
• Mention pregnancy or health conditions. Tell the doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, as this affects which treatments are appropriate. Mention any long-term health conditions too.
• Bring documents. Take your ID, your insurance card if you have one, and any previous test results.

Useful questions to ask:

• What is the likely cause, and do I need any tests?
• What are the treatment options, and what side effects should I watch for?
• How long before I should expect a change?
• When should I come back, and what should prompt an earlier visit?

Avoid starting prescription creams or tablets recommended by friends or online sources before you are assessed.

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

None of the five profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly. Useful questions:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• If a procedure such as mole removal, a chemical peel or laser is suggested, what does it cost and is it done on the same day?
• Do you accept my insurance? Rasmia Al-Saad lists Arab Orient Insurance; ask the other clinics directly.
• Does my insurer need pre-approval or a referral for this visit or procedure? Insurers often treat cosmetic procedures differently from medical ones.
• For multi-specialty clinics: which practitioner handles dermatology, and on which days do they attend?

When you book, note the date, time and practitioner's name. Ask about cancellation if your plans may change.

Getting there

Most of the clinics on this page are in Irbid city, and each entry above shows the clinic's area. If you are coming from Ramtha, Al-Husn, Kufr Yuba, Al-Koura, Bani Kinanah or Al-Mazar Al-Shamali, allow extra time for traffic and parking, especially around midday. Ask reception for a nearby landmark when you book, as building names and floors can be hard to find on a first visit.

Some skin conditions need hospital-based care or tests. If a dermatologist recommends this, the governorate's hospitals include:

• King Abdullah University Hospital
• Prince Rashid bin Al-Hassan Military Hospital
• Princess Basma Teaching Hospital
• Irbid Specialty Hospital

Your doctor or insurer can advise which is appropriate for you.

Checklist before you book

• Confirm the clinic offers dermatology care for your specific concern, not only general services.
• Ask the name of the practitioner who will see you, and on which day they attend.
• Check the opening hours for the day you plan to go.
• Ask the consultation fee and the cost of any likely follow-up or procedure.
• Confirm insurance acceptance and any pre-approval your insurer needs.
• Prepare your list of medicines and products, and photos of any flare-ups.
• Know the warning signs that need urgent care, and call 911 if they appear.
