Expert diagnosis and treatment of a full spectrum of medical skin conditions.
About General Dermatology Treatment
Alongside aesthetic work, the clinic treats the medical skin conditions people live with day to day: eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, urticaria, vitiligo, warts and the range of rashes and irritations that are uncomfortable, persistent and frequently self-treated for far too long before anyone looks at them properly.
Self-treatment is the recurring theme. Over-the-counter steroid creams are sold freely in India and are routinely applied to fungal infections, which makes them spread and become considerably harder to clear. Steroid-modified tinea is now common enough that it is worth saying plainly: if a rash is not improving within a couple of weeks, stop applying things to it and have it looked at.
The clinic is in the 14th Avenue High Street Market in Gaur City 2, which puts it within a short drive for most of Gaur City 1, Gaur City 2, Noida Extension and the wider Greater Noida West. That matters more than it sounds. Chronic skin conditions are managed over several reviews rather than settled in one appointment, and a dermatologist you can reach in ten minutes is one you will actually go back to.
Our Approach
Diagnosis comes first, which sounds obvious but is frequently skipped. Many skin conditions look similar and are treated as one another for months. Where the diagnosis is not clear on examination, investigation such as a skin scraping or, occasionally, a biopsy is recommended rather than guessed around.
Chronic conditions such as eczema and psoriasis are managed rather than cured, and the aim is long periods of good control with clear instructions for what to do during a flare. That is a more honest framing than promising clearance.
What to Expect
- 1 Examination and diagnosis The condition is examined and, where needed, investigated rather than treated presumptively. Any previous treatment applied is reviewed, since it often affects how the condition now presents.
- 2 Treatment plan You are given a clear plan, written where it is complex, covering what to apply, for how long, and what to do if it worsens.
- 3 Follow-up Chronic conditions are reviewed to confirm the plan is working, and adjusted where it is not, rather than left to run indefinitely.
- 4 Flare management For recurring conditions you are given a plan for managing flares yourself, so you are not starting from scratch each time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my fungal infection not clearing?
Most commonly because a steroid-containing cream was applied to it. Steroids suppress the inflammation, so it appears to improve, while the fungus spreads underneath. This is extremely common in India given how freely combination creams are sold. It is treatable, but it takes longer than an infection caught before steroids were applied.
Can eczema be cured?
Eczema is managed rather than cured. Most patients achieve long periods of good control with the right regimen, appropriate moisturiser use and identification of their triggers. Anyone offering a permanent cure is not describing eczema accurately.
Is vitiligo treatable?
It is treatable, though results vary considerably by site, duration and stability. Recent, stable patches on the face respond better than long-standing patches on hands and feet. Realistic expectations set at the outset matter more here than in almost any other condition.
Do I need a prescription for a steroid cream?
You should have one, and you should have a diagnosis first. Topical steroids used correctly are safe and effective; used on the wrong condition or on the face for extended periods without supervision, they cause skin thinning, rebound flares and steroid-modified infections.
When should I see a dermatologist rather than wait?
If a rash is spreading, has not improved in two weeks, is painful, is affecting your sleep, or has been treated with over-the-counter products without response. Also for any mole that changes in size, shape, colour or border.
