Expert Dermatology Care for Acne and Skin Health
I believe in keeping skincare simple and scientific. Here is how I combine thirty years of experience with clinical diagnostics to help you find the right solution for your skin.
**(Hero Media)** Body acne, especially on the back, is a very common concern. In this video, I explain the three main causes, including friction from tight clothing, certain hair removal methods, and even residue from hair products. I also provide three actionable steps you can take to treat and prevent back acne, such as using topicals with glycolic or salicylic acid.
Those tiny white bumps around your eyes are called milia, which are keratin deposits, not acne. I explain what causes them, like heavy products or sun exposure, and why you should never try to remove them yourself. The safest and most effective solution is a simple extraction procedure at my clinic.
Choosing the right products for oily skin can be confusing. I simplify it by listing the key ingredients to look for in your face wash, serums, and sunscreen. For example, a gel-based sunscreen is crucial to avoid clogging pores, and ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides help protect your skin's barrier.
This client's journey is a powerful reminder of why I do what I do. She was struggling with severe hormonal acne and had lost confidence after trying other treatments. I'm so grateful we were able to find a solution that healed her skin and restored her self-esteem.
Namaskara. As someone from Mangalore, I understand how our climate's heat and humidity can lead to stubborn hyperpigmentation and tanning. In this video, I speak in Tulu to address this specific concern for my community and explain that there is always an upay, or solution, to restore your skin's balance.
Continuous learning is essential in dermatology. Here I am at a training session for the launch of Juvederm Skinvive, staying updated on the latest techniques for skin hydration and glow. This ensures I can offer my patients the most advanced and effective treatments.

About Featured
I do not believe in chasing temporary trends. When you step into my clinic, we start with a thorough clinical audit to identify the root cause of your concern, whether it is hormonal acne or pigmentation from Mumbai's heat. My approach relies on consistency, medical grade technology, and a realistic plan that fits into your daily life.
My Approach to Skin Health
Thirty years in dermatology has taught me that the best results come from understanding the 'why' behind your skin issues. Whether you are dealing with persistent back acne, milia around the eyes, or stubborn hyperpigmentation, I break the problem down into manageable parts. We look at your lifestyle, your product usage, and your environment before suggesting any intervention.
Why Clinical Assessment Matters
Many patients arrive after trying countless products without success. This usually happens because the product was not suited for their specific skin type or the root cause was hormonal rather than surface-level.
- Acne Management: We look at friction, hair products, and stress triggers, not just the visible bumps.
- Pigmentation: Living in Mumbai means dealing with specific humidity and sun exposure patterns. We focus on barrier repair and targeted treatments.
- Safe Extractions: For issues like milia, I strongly advise against DIY attempts. We use sterile, physician-supervised techniques to remove these safely without scarring.

I practice in Juhu and Worli, where I have designed a space that is professional, calm, and focused entirely on your needs.

If you have been struggling to find a consistent path forward, I invite you to book a consultation so we can start your plan.
