What is Parasitology?

Parasitology focuses on identifying and treating skin conditions caused by parasitic organisms. These pests, such as the mites that cause scabies or the insects responsible for lice, can temporarily live on or burrow into the skin. This leads to intense itching, red bumps, and significant physical discomfort.
At Kigali Dermatology Center, we understand how distressing and frustrating these highly contagious conditions can be. Our medical team provides discreet, expert evaluations to accurately identify the specific parasite and stop the infestation quickly.

How does Parasitology work?

The process begins with a careful and thorough physical examination of the affected skin. Our board-certified dermatologists may also perform a simple, painless skin scraping to examine the sample under a microscope. This helps confirm the exact type of parasite causing your symptoms.

Once diagnosed, we prescribe targeted medical treatments, such as specialized topical creams, lotions, or oral medications, designed to effectively eliminate the pests and their eggs. We also provide clear, practical guidance on how to properly clean your home environment and personal items to prevent re-infection and protect your family.

Dealing with intense, unexplained itching?

Schedule a discreet consultation with our specialized dermatology team today. We will provide a swift, accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan to bring you immediate relief.

I visited late on a Saturday and while I was referred through someone to Dr Kayatesi, Dr Fatima was great. I was in within 30 min and she prescribed me quickly what I needed to be on my way. The front desk and nurse was also professional, the place was clean and easy to get.
