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.

I’m big on community, women’s safety, and you’ll catch me at the gym every week (Cult Ninja mode, no skipping!). Being a doc isn’t just my job, it’s how I show up for people.
