Dr. C.M. Aiesha Tasneem
Experience: | 4 years |
Education: | Government Medical College Anantapur |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am a general physician and also work as a consultant dermatologist, which basically means I deal with everything from seasonal fevers to fungal rashes that just don’t go away no matter what creams people try. My day is a mix of managing routine stuff like BP, sugar, gut infections—and then also seeing patients with skin issues, like acne, psoriasis, pigmentation, eczema, weird bumps, and sometimes things that look harmless but aren’t. Honestly, skin’s tricky. It’s not always what it looks like at first glance.
A lot of people assume general medicine is just prescribing tablets, but nah... I spend a good chunk of time actually figuring out what's *causing* what. A headache isn't always just a headache, and a rash could be tied to stress, lifestyle, even meds they took last month. I like digging into those connections, not just treating the top layer. And in dermatology, the visual part makes it more interesting but also more confusing sometimes. One patch can mean 5 different things.
Some days are clean-cut. Some not. But whether it’s a kid with stomach pain or someone worried about hair fall—I try keeping things clear, simple, and not rushed. There's a lot of misinformation out there, especially when it comes to skincare—Instagram reels and all that—so yeah, patient education is a big part of what I do. And no, I don’t recommend 12-step routines unless it actually helps. |
Achievements: | I am someone who always leaned a bit too deep into theory, which kinda worked out cz I ended up getting gold medals in anatomy, ENT, general medicine and general surgery. Not saying I knew *everything*, but somehow those subjects just made sense to me in a way others didn’t. Anatomy was like a map to the whole system, and general medicine—well, that’s where things actually came alive. Surgery was tough ngl but super rewarding when you get it right without second guessing. |
I am practicing from the past 3 yrs and honestly each day just adds a bit more depth to how I see patient care. Those 3 years might sound short to some but in that time I've worked with so many different kind of cases... routine ones, tricky ones, even a few that left me kinda thinking after. I mostly focus on what’s actually helpful to the patient, not just ticking boxes or rushing through. Whether it’s early diagnosis, patient counselling or follow-ups—I try staying involved at every step, not just during the treatment part but even before and after. Sometimes I feel like a half-time listener too, cz patients don’t just come with symptoms, they come with anxiety, confusion, and sometimes... honestly just a lot of Google search stuff 😅 Anyway my work till now is grounded in actual experience not just degrees or labels. I'm all about learning through direct interaction with people from different backgrounds, and that helped me understand how important clarity is while explaining any treatment or options. I’d rather repeat things 3 times than leave a patient walking out unsure or scared of what comes next. Not a big fan of fancy talk unless it really helps. Honestly I’m still evolving, constantly brushing up knowledge, adapting new clinical practices if they make sense logically not just bcz they're trending. And I'm not into overpromising. Sometimes treatment is slow. Sometimes we have to try 2–3 things before we see results. I just try to stay honest about that. My goal in these 3 years hasn’t changed—treat, guide and maybe just simplify the mess a bit for people sitting across from me.
