Medical dermatology planned around the diagnosis — honest, evidence-based, and long-term where the disease is long-term.
This is the professional site of Yongbo Jia, MD (贾勇波), Head of Dermatology at Chongqing West District Hospital: the medical, non-procedural side of dermatology — inflammatory disease such as eczema and psoriasis, skin infection, urticaria and drug eruptions, autoimmune and blistering conditions, and the follow-up that chronic skin disease requires — inside a tertiary general hospital.
Diagnosis before prescription, realistic timescales, and a plain statement of what medical dermatology can and cannot fix.
- Diagnosis before treatment
- Evidence-based medical management
- Honest risk and benefit discussions
- Tertiary-hospital diagnostic support
Medical skin care starts with the diagnosis, not the prescription
Whether the problem is a rash that will not settle, an infection that keeps returning, or a condition that has been managed for years, every pathway follows the same three principles.
Diagnose the disease
A structured consultation: the history, an examination of the whole skin surface where relevant, and dermoscopy of anything suspicious. Where the diagnosis is still uncertain, testing — a scraping, a patch test, a blood test, or a biopsy — comes before treatment rather than after it.
Treat to a plan, in months not days
Most chronic skin disease is managed rather than cured, and treatment usually takes weeks to months before its effect can be judged. You leave with a written plan: what to use, where, how much, for how long, and what to do when it flares.
Review, adjust, maintain
Follow-up is where the diagnosis is reconsidered if the response is atypical, where treatment is stepped up or down, and where monitoring tests for systemic therapy are checked. Adherence, not novelty, decides most outcomes in medical dermatology.
One medical dermatology service, one four-doctor team
Dr. Yongbo Jia leads this site and its dermatology content within the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center of Chongqing West District Hospital, alongside Center Director Shaoliang Wang, Tongchun Mao, and Ke He — so a problem that needs surgery, fine closure, or laser care is handled inside the same department.

Read the guide →Eczema and Atopic Dermatitis: A Chronic Disease, Managed Not Cured
Atopic dermatitis is a relapsing inflammatory disease rather than a passing rash: what is happening in the skin, why treatment takes weeks, and why under-treatment looks like resistance.
Read the guide →Contact Dermatitis and Patch Testing
Contact dermatitis has a cause that can sometimes be found and removed. How irritant and allergic patterns differ, and what patch testing does and does not answer.
Read the guide →Urticaria (Hives) and Drug Eruptions: Acute and Chronic
Hives and medicine rashes are common, often alarming, and usually not dangerous. How acute and chronic urticaria differ, how drug eruptions are recognised, and what to bring to the consultation.
Read the guide →Psoriasis: Systemic Inflammation, Not Just Skin
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease that affects joints and general health as well as skin. Why it is managed as a medical condition, and why treatment takes months to judge.
Read the guide →Skin Infection: Bacterial and Fungal
Impetigo, folliculitis and cellulitis on one side; tinea, yeast infection and nail infection on the other. Why confirming the organism prevents months of treating the wrong thing.
Read the guide →We will not sell you a cure that does not exist
No dermatologist can promise that a chronic rash will never return, that an infection will not recur, or that a systemic treatment will be free of side effects. Anyone who does is not giving you honest medical advice. Our job is to help you make a well-informed decision — even when that decision is to treat less, or to wait and watch.
