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.

The symptoms you’re describing — widespread dryness, itching, rash with redness, and a chicken-skin-like texture — might suggest a few potential skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or potentially even keratosis pilaris. However, it’s essential to note that such widespread and intensely irritating symptoms can sometimes be aggravated by allergies or irritants. During colder months, reduced humidity can worsen dryness, leading to irritation, and scratching can exacerbate the condition. To start, implementing some practical skin care routines can help relieve symptoms. First, switch to a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer, and use it daily to help with the dryness. After a shower or a bath, while your skin is still damp, apply it liberally to lock in moisture. Avoid hot showers; opt for lukewarm water, which is less drying to the skin. Avoid soap or cleansers with perfumes or dyes which might irritate the skin further. Consider switching to a hypoallergenic laundry detergent to further minimize skin irritation.

For areas that remain intensely itchy or inflamed, an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream, applied sparingly, might offer some relief; however, limit its consistent use to short periods, and ensure you’re using it correctly, as labeled. It’s advised not to apply these creams to your genital areas without consulting a physician. Persistent or severe cases should be evaluated by a healthcare professional, possibly leading to prescription treatments or a more comprehensive work-up for underlying conditions like allergies or autoimmune diseases. If this irritation significantly affects your daily life, or spreads rapidly, reaching out to a dermatologist for further evaluation is crucial. Maintain vigilance for signs of infection, such as oozing, swelling, or increasing pain, which necessitate immediate medical evaluation. Each of these suggestions aims to reduce exacerbating factors, while also considering potential causes, but professional medical diagnosis is critical to properly identify and manage the condition safely.
