Dermatology

Common reasons for a visit include acne and acne scars, pigmentation and melasma, eczema and psoriasis, fungal and bacterial skin infections, hair fall and dandruff, nail problems, and allergic or itchy skin. Both medical and cosmetic dermatology are available.

Most acne regimens take 6 to 12 weeks to show a clear response, because skin cell turnover and oil-gland changes are gradual. Your dermatologist will set a realistic timeline, treat active acne and scarring separately, and review progress at follow-up rather than changing everything at once.

Yes. Hair fall is assessed for its cause — nutritional deficiency, thyroid or hormonal issues, stress, post-illness shedding, or pattern hair loss — often with a few blood tests. Treatment is chosen based on the cause and the stage, and works best when started early.

Your dermatologist will first take a detailed history to identify likely triggers. Where patch testing or further allergy work-up is needed, this can be arranged. Recurrent hives and contact allergies are managed with both avoidance advice and medication.

No referral is needed. You can book a dermatology consultation directly at Prime Hospital, Kondhwa, by phone, WhatsApp, or online. Bringing photos of the problem at its worst and a list of products or medicines you have already tried helps the first visit.
