The misuse of topical steroid creams is a significant health concern in India. I was honored to be a panelist for the Society for Eczema Studies, discussing this menace and advocating for safer skincare practices and patient education on steroid-induced skin damage.
Keloids can be a challenging condition to treat, but effective options are available. As an invited faculty member at this live symposium on keloids, I shared my expertise on non-surgical management techniques, including pressure therapy and cryotherapy.
Many over-the-counter fairness creams contain potent steroids that can cause irreversible skin damage. I strongly advise against using these products and encourage anyone experiencing side effects like redness, thinning skin, or acne to consult a qualified dermatologist for a recovery plan.
Hair loss is a medical condition that requires an expert diagnosis to identify the root cause. As a dermatologist, I can investigate underlying factors, from nutritional deficiencies to hormonal imbalances, to create a treatment plan that addresses the actual problem.

About Medical Dermatology

My Approach

I see skin, hair, and nails as messengers - often the first to shout when something's not right inside you. After years of hard work in dermatology, I pay close attention to what your skin is trying to say. For me, it's never just about a rash or itch - it's about finding the real reason behind it.

What I Do

  • Diagnose and treat medical skin, hair, and nail diseases
  • Always on the lookout for skin signs of internal disease, like:
    • Diabetes-related skin problems (itching, infections, dark patches)
    • Thyroid disorder skin changes (dryness, hair loss, brittle nails)
    • Clues to kidney or liver trouble (itching, yellow skin, nail changes)
    • Reactions to blood pressure meds (redness, rashes)

My Focus

  • Helping people safely stop using harmful steroid creams and recover from their side effects
  • Keloid scar treatment, especially using non-surgical options

Basics Matter

  • Simple, regular skincare is important - I’ll help you choose what works
  • Sunscreen isn’t just for looks; it’s for real skin protection

Why Me?

I’m all about clear, science-backed advice - not random gyaan you hear from here and there. If you want real answers about your skin, you’ll find them here.
