Top 3 Dermatology Clinics in Zarqa 2026

When do you need a dermatologist?

Dermatology covers the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. Some dermatologists also offer cosmetic work such as laser treatments and injections, but the clinics listed here publish consultation, assessment and follow-up services, so ask directly about anything more specific you are looking for.

Common reasons people in Zarqa see a dermatologist include:

• Acne that has not improved with simple over-the-counter care, or that is leaving marks or scars
• Eczema or psoriasis that keeps flaring or disturbs sleep
• Moles, lumps or growths you want checked or removed
• Hair loss, especially if it is sudden or patchy
• Fungal infections of the skin or nails, and warts
• Questions about procedures such as chemical peels

Signs it is time to book a visit

• A rash that lasts for weeks or keeps coming back
• Itching or allergic-type reactions that are severe or frequent
• An unusual spot or patch you have not seen before
• A mole that changes in size, shape or colour, has an irregular edge, bleeds, itches or looks different from your other moles. Mainstream guidance advises getting such changes checked promptly rather than waiting
• Sudden or heavy hair shedding

Warning signs that need urgent care

Some skin symptoms are emergencies. Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away if you notice:

• Swelling of the lips, tongue, face or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing
• A rash that spreads quickly with fever, or a rash that does not fade when a glass is pressed against it
• Widespread blistering, peeling skin or sores in the mouth or eyes, particularly after starting a new medicine
• Red, hot, painful, spreading skin with fever or feeling very unwell

A dermatology clinic appointment is not the right place for these symptoms; emergency care comes first.

How to choose among the clinics here

People often search for the best dermatology clinics in Zarqa, but no directory listing can tell you which doctor will suit your skin condition. The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, not clinical skill. These practical points are more useful:

• Location and travel time. One clinic is on Mecca Street in New Zarqa, one on Sa'Ada Street, and one in Downtown Zarqa. Skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis often need several follow-up visits, so a clinic you can reach easily matters.
• Opening hours. All three publish confirmed hours from Saturday to Thursday. If you work or study during the day, compare the afternoon closing times and the Thursday hours.
• Insurance. Two profiles list specific insurers. If you rely on insurance, start with the clinic that lists your company, then confirm your policy details.
• Published background. One profile states the doctor's board certification and university. If training matters to you, you can ask any clinic about the doctor's qualifications when you call.
• The service you need. The listed services are consultation, assessment and follow-up. If you want a specific procedure, such as mole removal or a chemical peel, ask whether it is done at the clinic or arranged elsewhere.

What to expect at the first visit

A first dermatology appointment usually involves a conversation about your symptoms followed by an examination of the affected skin, hair or nails. The doctor may suggest investigations or discuss care options, depending on what they find.

How to prepare

• Avoid make-up, nail polish or self-tanning products on the area to be examined, so the doctor can see it clearly
• If the problem comes and goes, take clear photos when it is at its worst and bring them
• Note when it started, what seems to trigger it, and what you have already tried

What to bring

• A list of all medicines, creams, supplements and cosmetic products you use
• Previous test results or reports from other doctors
• Your national ID or passport and your insurance card, if you have one

Questions worth asking

• What do you think is causing this, and are tests needed to confirm it?
• What are the options, and how long before I should expect any change?
• Are there side effects I should watch for?
• When should I come back, and what should prompt an earlier visit?

Do not start, stop or change prescription treatments without medical advice, and tell the doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy, as this affects which treatments are suitable.

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

None of the profiles here publish a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly when you book. Useful questions include:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• Do you accept my insurer, and is the visit covered under my specific policy?
• Do I need a referral or prior approval from my insurer for a specialist visit?
• If a procedure or test is recommended, will it be priced separately, and will insurance cover it?

For reference, the profile for Dr. Taghreed Jamil Al Maaita's clinic lists United Insurance — NatHealth, MetLife Alico and The Islamic Insurance Company, and the profile for Dr. Rahma Fayez Al Nuaimi's clinic lists Arab Orient Insurance. Insurer lists can change, so confirm before your visit.

Getting there

Zarqa is Jordan's third most populous governorate, with around 1.7 million residents spread across areas including New Zarqa, Zawahreh, Russeifa, Hashemiyah, Dhlail and Azraq. The three clinics listed are all in Zarqa city:

• Dr. Rana Al Otti's clinic is on the third floor of Dr. Mohammad Al Khatib Building on Mecca Street in New Zarqa.
• Dr. Taghreed Jamil Al Maaita's clinic is on Sa'Ada Street.
• Dr. Rahma Fayez Al Nuaimi's clinic is in Downtown Zarqa; ask for the current street and floor when you book.

If you live further out, for example in Russeifa, Dhlail or Azraq, or you are a student at the Hashemite University, allow extra travel time and plan around the clinics' afternoon closing times. For emergencies, the governorate is served by government and military hospitals including Zarqa Government Hospital, Prince Faisal bin Al-Hussein Hospital and Prince Hashem bin Al-Hussein Military Hospital. In an emergency, call 911.
