Many patients approach me after using over-the-counter creams that have thinned their skin or caused stubborn scarring. My goal is to help you recover safely through evidence-based dermatological care.

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.

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.

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.

About Specialized Treatments: Steroid Damage & Keloids

Many patients arrive here after months of using over-the-counter fairness creams that unintentionally thinned their skin or triggered persistent acne. My first step is not to prescribe more products, but to assess the degree of barrier damage using dermoscopy so we can create a step-by-step tapering plan for your recovery.
