Dr. Bharat Joshi
I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Ruxolitinib is a medication primarily approved for specific conditions such as myelofibrosis and other rare blood disorders, but it has been used off-label for certain other conditions, including vitiligo. However, the safety and efficacy of ruxolitinib in children, especially those as young as two years old, has not been extensively studied. Pediatric use, particularly in such a young child, should be approached with caution. While there might be some emerging research on its topical use in vitiligo, clinical guidelines generally lack robust evidence for prescribing it to very young children. If your dermatologist prescribed it with an understanding of the specific situation, it’s crucial to have a discussion that includes both your dermatologist and pediatrician. They might weigh the potential benefits against the risks and any other available treatments. Vitiligo management can include less systemic approaches like topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors, which are more traditionally used in pediatric patients, and may be considered safer in the short term. Diet, lifestyle adjustments, and avoiding potential irritants or triggers are also helpful strategies to manage vitiligo symptoms. Given the disagreement between your healthcare providers, asking them to collaborate and provide a unified recommendation or exploring a second opinion with a pediatric dermatologist may be a wise course. Always aim to ensure the chosen treatment prioritizes the child’s safety and addresses the specific context of their health condition.
