SKIN & HAIR FAQs

Q1. Why should you consult a dermatologist?

Ans. The matters of the skin, hair, and nails are examined and treated by a dermatologist. While signs of certain skin or hair conditions might encourage you to visit the dermatologist, there are plenty of other conditions whose signs go unnoticed. Under such circumstances, it is ideally recommended to visit a dermatologist at least once a year (if you do not have any recurring skin or hair condition). The job of the dermatologist is to diagnose the condition, examine it carefully and suggest the correct treatment methods for the same. Although there are over-the-counter medications available for several skin and hair conditions, it is strictly advised not to self-medicate as it can lead to aggravating problems. A dermatologist will prescribe medications depending on the extent of your skin condition and after examining the underlying causes. So, consult the dermatologist at least once a year. It helps monitor any skin, hair, and nails proactively for early detection of any dermatology-related disorders.

Q2. What are the top 5 treatments offered by dermatologists?

Ans. A dermatologist is qualified and equipped to carry out treatment for over 3,000 skin problems. There are several diagnostic procedures performed related to the skin, hair, or nail conditions before determining the precise treatment method. However, on the broader spectrum, the following types of treatments, among many others, are used to treat conditions of the skin, hair, or nails:

  • Topical treatment
  • Light therapy
  • Injected or internal medicines
  • Surgical procedures
  • Cosmetic procedures such as chemical peels, sclerotherapy (for varicose veins), and micro-dermabrasion (skin exfoliation)

There are various other treatment methods like electro-surgery, cryosurgery, laser surgery, excision surgery, among others to treat several skin conditions for which the above methods fall short. Either way, a dermatologist or skin specialist is the best person to determine what kind of treatment is required for your skin problem.

Q3. As a dermatologist, what are the dos and don’ts of skincare?

Ans. Skincare is a broad subject and requires an in-depth understanding of the human body, especially of its largest organ, i.e. skin, to determine the best practices for healthy skin. When it comes to things you should do in order to protect your skin from damage, it includes:

  • Eating a healthy diet
  • Wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen
  • Keeping yourself hydrated
  • Washing your face at least twice a day

  • Do not smoke
  • Avoid stressing over things beyond your control
  • Don’t overdo your makeup
  • Do not drink excessive alcohol
  • Do not eat junk or processed foods regularly

Q4. What are the best skin care practices and products for men?

Ans. Skincare practices are usually common for both men and women. Whether it’s washing your face at least twice daily, drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated, or keeping your skin moisturised, these basic skincare practices will help you keep your skin healthy. In-growth of hair is observed quite frequently in men, therefore exfoliating your face at least once a week will reduce the occurrence of ingrowth and give you a clean-looking face. As for the skincare products, make sure you buy products that are gentle on the skin, chemical-free, and non-comedogenic. However, if you have sensitive skin you should consult a dermatologist before using any products on your skin.

Q5. What can I expect at a dermatologist consultation?

Ans. When you visit a dermatologist or skin specialist for a yearly consultation, a proper examination will be conducted to determine the health of your skin, hair, and nails. If you are visiting the dermatologist with a prior condition and need guidance for its treatment, a proper diagnosis will be done to understand the extent of the skin condition, after which the dermatologist will check for any underlying conditions that may have caused the disease or skin disorder. Eventually, the correct treatment method will be suggested by the doctor which could include topical treatments, light therapy, or laser treatment among others.
