WHAT WE TREAT
Acne
A common inflammatory skin disorder involving the pilosebaceous units, characterized by comedones, papules, pustules, and sometimes nodules or cysts. It is driven by excess sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, bacterial colonization (Cutibacterium acnes), and inflammation.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
A chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin condition marked by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It is associated with impaired skin barrier function, immune dysregulation, and often a personal or family history of atopy (asthma, allergic rhinitis).
Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
A reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, typically occurring later in life. It presents as a painful, unilateral vesicular rash following a dermatomal distribution and may lead to complications such as postherpetic neuralgia.
Neurodermatitis (Lichen Simplex Chronicus)
A localized skin condition caused by chronic scratching or rubbing, resulting in thickened, lichenified plaques. It is often associated with stress, anxiety, or underlying pruritic disorders.
Psoriasis
A chronic autoimmune skin disease characterized by well-demarcated, erythematous plaques with silvery scales. It results from accelerated keratinocyte turnover and immune-mediated inflammation, commonly affecting the scalp, elbows, and knees.
Rosacea
A chronic inflammatory condition primarily affecting the central face, presenting with persistent erythema, flushing, telangiectasia, and sometimes papules and pustules. Triggers include heat, alcohol, spicy foods, and stress.
Urticaria (Hives)
A hypersensitivity reaction presenting as transient, raised, itchy wheals with surrounding erythema. It is mediated by histamine release and may be acute or chronic, often triggered by allergens, infections, or stress.
Vitiligo
An acquired depigmenting disorder characterized by well-defined white patches due to the loss of melanocytes. It is believed to be autoimmune in origin and can affect any part of the body.
Perioral Dermatitis
An inflammatory facial rash characterized by small papules and pustules around the mouth, sparing the vermilion border. It is often associated with topical steroid use, cosmetics, or fluorinated toothpaste.
Seborrhea (Seborrheic Dermatitis)
A chronic inflammatory condition affecting sebaceous gland–rich areas such as the scalp and face. It presents with erythema and greasy, yellowish scales and is associated with Malassezia yeast proliferation.
Melasma (Chloasma)
A pigmentary disorder characterized by symmetrical, hyperpigmented patches on sun-exposed areas, especially the face. It is influenced by hormonal factors (e.g., pregnancy, oral contraceptives) and UV exposure.
Hair Loss (Alopecia)
A broad term encompassing various conditions that lead to hair thinning or loss, such as androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, or alopecia areata. Causes include genetic, hormonal, autoimmune, and environmental factors.
Scleroderma
A group of autoimmune connective tissue disorders characterized by skin thickening and fibrosis due to excessive collagen deposition. It may be localized or systemic, potentially affecting internal organs.
Fungal Infections (Dermatophytosis / Mycoses)
Skin infections caused by fungi, commonly affecting the skin, hair, and nails. They present with itching, scaling, and ring-shaped lesions (e.g., ringworm) and thrive in warm, moist environments.
