About

I’m not here to sell magic creams or promise overnight miracles. Most people walk in after trying influencer hacks, only to end up with irritated skin or new problems. I get it—there’s so much noise online, it’s tough to know what’s real. My job is to cut through the confusion and help you understand what your skin actually needs.

My Take on Skin Tone

I don’t believe in chasing fair skin. Healthy skin is the real goal. Indian skin has its own strengths (hello, melanin!), so I focus on making your natural tone look even and radiant—not lighter. I won’t prescribe harsh bleach or risky shortcuts.

Pigmentation Problems I Handle

  • uneven skin tone treatment for dark spots, sun damage, and marks left by pimples
  • tackling acanthosis nigricans (those stubborn dark, velvety patches on neck or knuckles that just don’t scrub off)
  • managing vitiligo with real options (no ‘miracle’ cures—sometimes surgical procedures work)
  • under-eye dark circle correction that goes beyond eye creams, looking at causes like genetics or thin skin

How I Treat

First, I figure out what’s happening underneath. Then I build a plan that’s just for you:

  • prescription creams that won’t mess up your skin
  • advanced chemical peels and laser pigmentation removal for stubborn spots
  • sometimes PRP, injectable treatments, or even surgery (for vitiligo)

My Basic Rule

Sunscreen is non-negotiable. SPF 30-50, every single day. No skipping. Protective clothes matter too. Trust me, it’s the simplest way to keep most pigment issues away.

Real Talk

Getting results isn’t quick or trendy. It’s consistency, patience, and knowing what’s best for your skin. Don’t fall for online hype—your skin’s worth more than that.

My Story

Hey, I’m Dr. Pooja. Most days, I end up telling folks why that social media skincare hack isn’t magic. Feels like half my job! I joined WHO’s Fides network just to fight all this online myth-busting. Dermatology, for me, is about bringing back smiles, especially after vitiligo surgery. Jothege, nanu kannadadalli helbeku andre, 'Vitiligo antyavalla — adu bharavaseya aarambha' (Vitiligo isn’t the end, it’s hope starting). Beyond skin, I’m big on stress, sleep, and food making all the difference.
