Dr Muhammed Ameen Moosa
Polokwane Central, Polokwane
Dermatologist
Polokwane residents seeking dermatological care have one practitioner listed in this directory, serving the city and surrounding Limpopo communities. Dermatologists here generally see patients for a range of skin, hair and nail concerns, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, pigmentation changes and suspicious moles or lesions. Given Limpopo's high sun exposure throughout the year, skin cancer screening and sun-damage related conditions are also commonly managed. A typical consultation involves a discussion of your history, a physical examination of the affected area, and possibly a skin biopsy or further tests if needed. Treatment plans are tailored individually and may involve topical or oral medication, minor procedures, or referral for specialised care. Anyone with a persistent or concerning skin symptom should consult a registered practitioner for proper assessment.

Common questions
Dermatologists generally manage conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal and bacterial skin infections, pigmentation disorders, hair and scalp conditions, and the assessment of moles or lesions for signs of skin cancer, which is a relevant concern given the region's strong sun exposure.
This depends on your medical aid plan and scheme rules. Some schemes require a referral from a general practitioner before covering a specialist consultation, so it is worth checking with your medical aid provider beforehand.
A first visit usually includes a discussion of your medical history and symptoms, a physical examination of the skin, hair or nails, and possibly additional tests such as a skin biopsy. The practitioner will then discuss possible management options suited to your situation.
Given the climate and UV exposure levels typical of Limpopo, discussions around sun protection and skin monitoring often form part of a consultation, particularly for patients with fair skin, a history of sunburn, or a family history of skin cancer.
At present, one dermatologist is listed for Polokwane on this directory. Listings may be updated over time as more practitioners register.
