Skin Treatment

Healthy skin begins with the right diagnosis.

Skin problems are often more than just a cosmetic concern.

Acne that keeps coming back, pigmentation that refuses to improve, persistent itching, recurrent fungal infections, excessive hair fall or a rash that has suddenly appeared — these problems can have very different causes, and treating them without understanding the cause may not give lasting results.

At the Department of Plastic Surgery, Dermatology & Cosmetology at Minnerva Superspeciality Hospital, we provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of skin and hair concerns.

Our approach is simple:

Understand the problem first. Diagnose it properly. Then choose the treatment that is actually appropriate for you.

Your skin can change because of many factors — genetics, hormones, allergies, infections, environmental exposure, lifestyle and underlying medical conditions.

Our Dermatology OPD provides consultation for problems such as:

• Acne and recurrent pimples
• Acne scars and marks
• Pigmentation and uneven skin tone
• Melasma
• Skin allergies, itching and rashes
• Eczema and dermatitis
• Psoriasis and other chronic skin conditions
• Fungal and other skin infections
• Warts, moles and other common skin growths
• Excessive sweating and related concerns
• Hair fall and other hair-related problems
• Unwanted hair
• Other persistent or unexplained skin problems

If a skin problem is recurring, spreading, changing in appearance or not responding to treatment, a proper dermatological evaluation is often the best place to start.

Acne is not just a teenage problem.

Adults can also develop persistent acne because of hormonal changes, skin type, medications and several other factors.

Treatment depends on the type and severity of acne. The aim is not simply to reduce today's pimples, but to control the condition and reduce the risk of long-term marks and scars.

Dark patches and uneven pigmentation are extremely common — particularly on the face.

But not every pigmentation problem is melasma, and not every pigmentation problem should be treated in the same way.

A dermatological assessment can help identify the likely cause and decide whether medical treatment, skincare, procedures or a combination of approaches is appropriate.

A rash may look simple, but its cause may not be.

Allergy, infection, eczema, irritation, medication reactions and several other skin conditions can produce similar-looking symptoms.

Instead of repeatedly changing creams or trying home remedies, getting the diagnosis right can save considerable time, money and frustration.

Fungal infections and other common skin infections can recur when treatment is incomplete or the underlying cause is not addressed.

Proper diagnosis helps determine the appropriate treatment and duration, while also identifying situations where a condition that appears to be a fungal infection may actually have another cause.

Some skin conditions are chronic. They may improve and then flare again.

Conditions such as eczema and psoriasis often require more than a one-time prescription. Understanding triggers, controlling flare-ups and maintaining the skin properly are important parts of long-term management.

Hair loss can have many causes.

Nutritional factors, hormonal changes, hereditary tendencies, scalp conditions and other medical factors can contribute to hair fall.

The first step is to understand why the hair is falling.

Depending on the cause, treatment may involve medical management, topical treatments, procedures or, in selected patients, hair restoration options.

Not every patient coming to a skin clinic wants a cosmetic procedure.

Some simply want to know:

“Why is my skin behaving like this?”

Others may want to improve pigmentation, acne scars, unwanted hair, skin texture or signs of ageing.

That is why our Department of Plastic Surgery, Dermatology & Cosmetology brings medical dermatology and aesthetic care together under one roof.

When a concern is primarily medical, it can be managed through dermatological care. When an aesthetic procedure is appropriate, cosmetology options can be considered. And when a problem requires a surgical solution, the plastic surgery team is available within the same department.

The objective is not to recommend a procedure simply because it is available.

The objective is to recommend the right solution for the right problem.

• Consultation by a qualified dermatology specialist
• MD in Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy (MD DVL)
• Training in clinical diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions
• Additional training in aesthetic dermatology and hair-related procedures
• Access to Dermatology, Cosmetology and Plastic Surgery within the same department
• Treatment plans based on the individual patient's condition rather than a one-size-fits-all approach

Consider a dermatology consultation if you have:

• A skin problem that keeps returning
• Acne that is persistent or leaving scars
• Pigmentation that is increasing or not improving
• Persistent itching, rash or redness
• Recurrent fungal infections
• Sudden or progressive hair fall
• A new or changing mole or skin growth
• A skin condition that has not improved despite treatment
• A concern about your skin that you simply cannot identify or understand

Sometimes the most useful treatment is not another cream.

It is finding out what the problem actually is.

Whether you are dealing with acne, pigmentation, itching, infection, hair fall or another skin concern, start with a proper evaluation.

Because healthy skin is not about applying more products.

It starts with understanding your skin.
