Making a positive difference, in skin and in life.
I'm Eugene Sern-Ting Tan, a senior consultant dermatologist at the National Skin Centre. Beyond helping people with their skin, hair and nails, I love helping them grow — through books, talks and practical ideas for a happy, healthy and fulfilling life.
“To bring joy, alleviate suffering and make a positive difference in other people’s lives.”
Senior consultant dermatologist at the National Skin Centre, where I serve as Chief of the Photodermatology Unit and Head of the Teledermatology Workstream.
General dermatology, with special interests in psoriasis and photodermatology — light-sensitive skin disorders, sun protection, phototherapy and photodynamic therapy.
Medicine at NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, dermatology training at NSC, and advanced fellowship at St John’s Institute of Dermatology, London. I believe in paying it forward through teaching and mentoring.
Three letters I live by: G·E·O
I am thankful and grateful for all my blessings and the help I receive.
The lower my expectations, the higher the potential for greater happiness.
I always think of the positive, and reframe the negative.
Books on dermatology, phototherapy, and personal development

A visual reference to dermatological conditions and sexually transmitted infections as they appear in Asian skin, for clinicians and students.
A clear roadmap to understand your motivation, overcome what holds you back and stay driven.
