Professional Skin Diagnosis and Allergy Testing
Stop guessing what your skin needs. I combine two decades of clinical experience with precise diagnostic tools to uncover the root cause of your skin, hair, or nail concerns.
For persistent rashes or skin reactions with no obvious cause, I use patch testing to identify the specific allergens. This diagnostic tool allows me to create a targeted and effective treatment plan by finding the exact trigger for your skin irritation, rather than just treating the symptoms.

About Diagnosing Skin Issues
When you come in for a consultation, I don't just look at the surface. I use a dermatoscope for a magnified visual analysis and often review your past treatments to correct any previous misdiagnoses. Whether we need a patch test for persistent rashes or a review of your current skincare, we start by figuring out what is actually happening before we decide on a treatment plan.
Why a Proper Diagnosis Matters
Skin health is not one-size-fits-all. I frequently see patients who have tried multiple products or treatments based on online advice or generic suggestions, only to find their condition worsening. For instance, using a facial not suited to your specific skin type can lead to severe burns and lasting damage, rather than the glow you were hoping for. My role is to help you move past that.
My Diagnostic Approach
When you visit my clinic in Paschim Vihar or my center in Dwarka, the process is structured to give you clarity:
- Visual Analysis: I use a dermatoscope to evaluate your skin layer by layer, which is far more accurate than the naked eye.
- Medical History Review: I look at your past treatments and lifestyle triggers to see what has worked and what has caused you harm in the past.
- Patch Testing: For mystery rashes, reactions, or persistent itching, I use patch testing to identify specific allergens. This takes the guesswork out of the equation so we can treat the trigger, not just the symptom.
Making Informed Decisions
My goal is to educate you on your skin's health. During our consultation, we will discuss whether you need a topical medication, a medical-grade procedure, or simply a change in your daily habits. You will leave with a clear, personalized prescription plan—no shortcuts, just safe, clinical advice based on your unique profile.
