On complete examination, our dermatologists may diagnose one of the following common dermatology conditions:

Acne

Face, body, and butt acne occur commonly among teenagers and young adults. It gives rise to puss-filled bumps, blemishes, whiteheads, blackheads, or pimples. Clogged pores due to dirt, oil, or dead skin cells cause acne. Poor lifestyle, stress, hormonal imbalances, and gut issues can give rise to excessive acne. Acne treatments at Narayana Health ensure that you get accurate root cause analysis and dermatological treatments. Usually, skin doctors prescribe benzoyl peroxide and salicylic-acid-based cleansers and spot treatments to cure the condition.

Eczema

Eczema is a non-contagious skin condition that causes dry and itchy patches of skin all over the body. An allergic reaction to a contagion can flare up eczema and cause unbearable discomfort. It usually occurs due to a weakened skin barrier. It is one of the dermatitis that causes skin inflammation:

Contact dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis
Neurodermatitis
Nummular eczema
Dyshidrotic eczema
Seborrheic dermatitis

Getting a dermatological treatment is crucial to diagnose the type (or types, as you can have more than one). Our skin specialists assess your skin to offer the most effective solutions i.e. dermatology procedures or topical treatments to treat the condition.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that causes scaly and inflamed patches on the scalp, knees, elbows, and trunk. Excess psoriasis can even interfere with sleep and affect the patient’s overall emotional and mental well-being. It may even lead to bleeding and skin cracks during extreme flare-ups. Psoriasis can have many triggers, including stress, infections, heat, and certain medications. Since it is an immune system problem, it cannot be cured. However, correct guidance from Narayana Health’s dermatology specialists can help you manage the condition. Our skin specialists are expert at treating various kinds of psoriasis:

Plaque psoriasis
Guttate psoriasis
Pustular psoriasis
Inverse psoriasis
Erythrodermic psoriasis

Hair Loss

While losing up to 50–100 hair strands is normal, excessive hair fall is an increasingly common problem due to lifestyle and environmental factors. Baldness can also occur due to poor hormonal health, ageing, or hereditary reasons. Also known as alopecia, hair loss can be temporary or permanent. While temporary hair loss can be treated with topical treatments, shampoos, serums, and medicine, permanent hair loss may require a transplant. Our hair specialists assess to identify whether your hair can regrow on its own, needs topical, or surgical treatments. You can also consult them to prescribe preventive care to maintain the health of your hair.

Our advanced hair treatments include curing and managing:

Androgenic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness)
Telogen effluvium (hair growth cycle)
Anagen effluvium (falling hair follicles)
Alopecia areata (autoimmune patchy hair fall anywhere in the body)
Tinea capitis (scalp ringworm infection)
Cicatricial alopecia (localised skin inflammation)
Hypotrichosis (genetic disorder)
Hair Shaft Abnormalities (loose anagen, trichotillomania, traction alopecia)

In addition to the above conditions, Narayana Health’s doctors also provide dermatology treatments for nail chipping, rosacea, fungal infections, bacterial infections, leprosy, and various kinds of allergies.

There are a variety of medical and cosmetic surgical procedures that dermatologists can perform. While some conditions can be effectively treated with medications and non-invasive techniques, others may require surgery or more aggressive treatment.

Biopsies

Skin biopsies help doctors to diagnose and treat different skin conditions. They are of three types –

Shave biopsies
Punch biopsies
Excision biopsies

Chemical Peels

This procedure involves the application of a chemical solution to peel off a layer of the skin. Lying underneath is a layer of regenerated smooth skin. Experts at Narayana Health recommend chemical peels to treat certain acne, wrinkles, dark circles, and sun damage.

Cryotherapy

This treatment is commonly used to treat benign skin conditions like warts. Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze skin lesions. This destroys the affected skin cells, which are then removed by our specialists equipped with the latest technology.

Dermaroller

Your dermatologist will remove the top layer of skin using a manual rotating brush to treat scars non-surgically. The process is also called microdermabrasion.

Excision of Lesions

Our specialists carefully excise skin lesions to prevent repeated infections, for cosmetic reasons, or to prevent a disease from spreading. Usually, a local or general anaesthetic is applied to numb the area before removing the lesion.

Laser Treatments

It involves using a special light beam to treat tumours, warts, moles, tattoos, scars, birthmarks, unwanted hair and wrinkles.

The highest quality skincare and dermatology treatment starts with consulting highly qualified and experienced dermatologists. Skin specialists at Narayana Health ensure that you get personalised care with minimal downtime and precise aftercare guidance to extend the life of skin treatments.
