About
Okachimachi Shirokuma Dermatology Clinic, located near Okachimachi Station in Taito Ward, Tokyo, is a clinic specializing in dermatology, pediatric dermatology, and cosmetic dermatology that opened in November 2024. Dr. Mayumi Ikeda, the clinic director, is a board-certified dermatologist by the Japanese Dermatological Association with extensive clinical experience at university hospitals and general hospitals such as Mitsui Memorial Hospital. One of the clinic's distinguishing features is its specialized knowledge and treatment system for hair loss and alopecia. Drawing on her graduate school research on hair fundamentals and experience overseeing the alopecia specialty outpatient clinic at Saitama Medical University Hospital, Dr. Ikeda actively provides self-pay treatments as well. For inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and palmoplantar pustulosis, the clinic has established a system enabling comprehensive treatment from a systemic perspective by collaborating with a board-certified rheumatologist. Additionally, on the afternoon of the second Friday of each month, a board-certified plastic surgeon performs surgeries and Botox treatments, accommodating a wide range of patient needs. The clinic operates on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and English language support is available, making it an accessible environment for patients who do not speak Japanese. The clinic also accepts credit cards and electronic payments, adding to its convenience.
