Skin diagnosis first — and honest, long-term management for conditions that do not simply go away.
This is the professional site of Yongbo Jia, MD (贾勇波), Head of Dermatology at Chongqing West District Hospital: the assessment of skin lesions, the diagnosis of rashes that have not settled elsewhere, procedural dermatology including skin biopsy, and the long-term management of eczema, psoriasis, infection, hair loss, and pigment disorders — inside a tertiary general hospital.
Diagnosis before treatment, realistic timescales, and a plain statement of what dermatology can and cannot do.
- Diagnosis before treatment
- Evidence-based management
- Honest risk and benefit discussions
- Tertiary-hospital diagnostic support
Good skin care starts with the diagnosis, not the prescription
Whether the problem is a changing mole, a rash that will not settle, or hair that is thinning, every pathway follows the same three principles.
Diagnose first
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
Most chronic skin disease is managed rather than cured, and treatment usually takes weeks before a difference is visible. You leave with a written plan: what to use, where, how much, for how long, and what to do when it flares.
Review & maintain
Follow-up is where the diagnosis is reconsidered if the response is atypical, where treatment is stepped up or down, and where a maintenance plan is agreed. Adherence, not novelty, decides most outcomes in dermatology.
One dermatology service, one four-doctor team
Dr. Yongbo Jia leads the dermatology service 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.

Fungal infection of skin, hair, and nails: how it presents, why the diagnosis should be confirmed, and why recurrence is usually a treatment failure rather than bad luck.
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 pigment will not come back after sun exposure, or that hair will regrow. 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.
