About Medical Dermatology
I’ve spent over 30 years working with skin, always looking for what’s really going on beneath the surface. For me, it’s not just about clearing up a rash or fading a spot - I want to know why it’s happening, so we can actually fix it, not just cover it up.
How I Work
- I start with a proper diagnosis. No shortcuts here. Once I know what’s up, I put together a plan that covers everything: clinical treatments, lifestyle tweaks, and what you can do at home.
- I’m big on teamwork. You’ll always know why I’m suggesting something, and I’ll be honest if something takes time or isn’t a quick fix.
What I Treat
- Hormonal acne treatment, including those stubborn jawline breakouts and acne scars. Please, don’t pop pimples - it only makes things worse.
- Melasma management for Indian skin, sun spots, and all kinds of hyperpigmentation. Sunscreen is a must, even indoors.
- PCOS skin symptoms solutions: deep acne, unwanted hair, scalp issues, and those dark patches that just won’t budge.
- Eczema, perioral dermatitis, folliculitis, and sun-triggered rashes. I focus on calming things down and repairing your skin barrier.
What to Expect
- No magic overnight results. Some things take months, but I’ll walk you through it.
- I use the latest stuff - lasers, microneedling, chemical peels, PRP, injectables - but only if it fits your diagnosis.
If you want real answers and a plan that actually makes sense for your skin, I’m here for that.
