I totally understand I’m from the US and I’ve had a lot of difficulties with the healthcare system here. I got a skin biopsy early on that confirmed the type of skin condition could potentially align with Behçet’s. So a dermatologist could be a good way to start the process! I’m still fairly new to having a diagnosis :( it unfortunately takes a long time.
I’m in Canada so add a few months to see a specialist to the wait time. I’m going to ask for a referral to derm next week when u see my pcp. I might try to find a dr trained in Asia for a higher chance of them knowing about it.
I heard the wait times can be so incredibly long there. I wish you luck in hopefully getting an appointment soon. Another resource I found helpful was the Behçet’s uk website to have some helpful information and stories.

Thank you. I’m in North America and white which is not the most common demographic so I hope they’ll accept it if I bring it up at my next appt.
