Experience: | 5 years |
Education: | Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am a dermatologist who mostly deals with like, everything that has to do with skin, hair and nails—whether it’s stubborn acne, scalp issues, unexplained rashes or just those nail infections that kinda don’t go away easily. I do see a lot of day-to-day stuff like dandruff, pigmentation, eczema or fungal things... but honestly there's a wide spectrum and each case kinda feels different from the other.
I also handle sexually transmitted infections—yeah, the kind of conditions people often hesitate to talk about or delay getting help for, even when symptoms are obvious or keep coming back. But I take a non-judgy approach there. Most ppl just need a safe space where they can say what they’re feeling without fear or awkwardness. I make sure that happens—whether it's herpes, warts, syphillis (spelled right? maybe not lol), or urethral discharges or whatever else.
There’s also overlap between skin and internal issues—like autoimmune stuff, or skin signs of nutritional deficiencies. I try to look at those too instead of just giving creams and asking them to come back if it doesn’t work. Cos like, most skin conditions are deeper than they seem, right? It’s not just about what shows up on the outside, it’s what’s behind it that matters in long run.
Anyway if you’re dealing with something that feels chronic or awkward or just super confusing—chances are I’ve seen it before or something close. And even if I haven’t, we figure it out. |
Achievements: | I am worked as a consultant dermatologist in Sirsa, Haryana—honestly a lot came my way during that time. From typical acne and fungal issues to more chronic dermatoses and even those weird skin conditions no one could quite name at first sight. The setup there gave me a hands-on chance to see real community-level skin care needs... I mean not just textbook cases but messy, layered, everyday problems that don’t always follow patterns. Felt like I really grew there, both clinicaly n personally. |
I am Dr Dikshita, MD and DNB in Dermatology, practicing currently in Chandigarh... and kinda juggling between clinical work, consults and catching up on journals that keep piling up (they never end, really). My focus is skin, hair & nail disorders—right from acne that just won't budge to complex dermatoses like psoriasis or vitiligo. I also deal with fungal, bacterial, viral skin infections, pigmentary issues, and allergic skin reactions that sometimes are hard to pin down at first. Besides that, I’m regularly doing procedural dermatology too—stuff like chemical peels, PRP for hair, electrocautery, mole removals, intralesional injections etc. Sometimes it gets hectic, but I like that part. Cosmetology's also been a growing area I’m working in—basic Botox, fillers, skin rejuvenation and laser treatments, esp. for scars and pigmentation, are part of what patients come to me for these days... it's more popular now than it used to be 4–5 yrs back. MD gave me a strong academic base, but I think real understanding came from observing day-to-day patient patterns and responses to treatment—textbook cases hardly exist in real life, right. And being in Chandigarh means I meet a good mix of cases from urban & semi-urban areas, each with diffrent challenges, especially when it comes to long-standing issues like eczema or hair loss, where patience is like.. half the battle. I do try to keep things honest with my patients, no overpromising results, but also no sugarcoating. I think that balance matters a lot. It’s a privilege to be in a field where people trust you with something as personal as their skin—it’s not just cosmetic, it often affects their whole confidence. I remind myself of that everytime I sit down for a consult... even if I’m 5 mins late or didn’t have time for chai that day.
