Dr. Kushma tirupati
Experience: | 2 years |
Education: | Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am usually dealing with all sorts of skin troubles—rashes, acne, pigmentation, infections, whatever walks in really. I focus a lot on chronic things too, like psoriasis or eczema, that ppl kinda suffer silently with for years. And ya, I also treat genital skin issues—stuff like itching, discharge, lesions, fungal stuff—those areas are sensitive in more than one way, and patients often feel awkward talking about it, but honestly they don’t have to. I try to keep my space non-judgy and chill.
My goal is always to get the full story before rushing into any meds. Like sometimes a rash ain’t just about allergy, it cud be hormonal, stress related or even a reaction to some lifestyle thing—who knows unless you ask, right? I try to dig a bit deeper bcoz surface-level fixing doesn’t always work long-term. Also I don’t believe in overloading people with ten creams if one good one will do the job.
If something needs follow-up or minor procedures, I usually explain it plain, without confusing medical talk, bcoz clarity helps ppl trust their own treatment better. |
Achievements: | I am working in DVL (that’s dermatology, venereology & leprosy btw) from quite some time now.. and during all that I got to handle all kinds of skin & hair cases. Some were routine stuff like acne or fungal patches, but some got real tricky. I kinda liked figuring those out tho. Also got hands-on with STDs & leprosy cases while working in govt setups. That gave me a good push to understand how diverse skin diseases really are, not just textbook but real ppl ones too!! |
I am a medical doctor who kinda found myself leaning more n more toward skin-related cases during my early rotations. After completing my MBBS, I joined the TTD Trust Hospital as a Civil Assistant Surgeon, where the patient flow was hectic most days but it taught me loads about dealing with people from all kinds of backgronds, especially in public health setups where things aren’t always smooth or predictable. Later, I got the chance to work as a Junior Resident in Dermatology at SVIMS, Tirupati for around 1.5 yrs—honestly, that’s where my interest in skin really started to deepen. Daily exposure to cases like acne, infections, psoriasis, vitiligo, even some tricky autoimmune stuff... all of it kept me engaged and constantly thinking. It wasn’t just the textbook part, but figuring out what really bothered patients, sometimes it’s cosmetic, sometimes it’s more about confidence or social discomfort. That part hit me—how skin isn’t just skin, you know? I got hands-on with minor procedures too, like cryotherapy, intralesional injections, biopsies, and helped with laser treatments under guidance. I wouldn’t say I’m an expert in everything yet, but I do take my time with each case, try to listen more before jumping into prescriptions. Communication matters, esp when ppl feel judged or just...ignored in past consults. Right now, I’m continuing to learn and adapt—trying to keep up with latest dermatological guidelines and approaches. Whether it’s a basic fungal issue or something chronic and hard to pin down, I try to look at the whole picture. Because nothing in medicine is ever “just routine” if you're seeing it for the first time as a patient.
