I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

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.

Having recurrent boils around the eye, like the one you’ve got on your lower eyelid, is often indicative of a condition known as blepharitis or a stye (also called a hordeolum). These are generally caused by bacterial infection or could be due to blocked oil glands. It’s essential to ensure proper eyelid hygiene to try and prevent recurrence. Warm compresses can indeed help by promoting drainage and reducing the swelling. Apply a clean, warm, moist cloth to the eyelid for about 10-15 minutes, a few times a day. This should be done with care, though, as sometimes it can temporarily make the swelling look worse initially as it brings the infection closer to the surface before it drains.

Avoid squeezing or trying to pop the lesion, as this can worsen the condition or spread the infection. If these efforts don’t improve the situation, considering medical treatment is wise. Topical antibiotics or special eye drops might be necessary, and an ophthalmologist can determine the best course of action. Also, think about any factors that could be contributing to recurring issues—like excessive eye rubbing, using old makeup, or eyelid hygiene practices.

If it worsens, you notice it spreading, or starts affecting your vision, you should promptly seek medical attention. Persistent or recurrent lesions may sometimes require professional medical interventions to properly treat them, especially if the issue doesn’t resolve with home care. In some cases, underlying conditions like rosacea or seborrheic dermatitis can contribute to these problems, and identifying such factors may help in managing your symptoms more effectively.
