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.

Managing acne, especially on the forehead and cheeks, involves addressing the underlying factors that trigger it, such as excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. First, consider reviewing your skincare routine. Opt for gentle, non-comedogenic cleansers to avoid further clogging pores, and wash your face twice daily to remove excess oil and dirt. Salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can be beneficial as they combat acne by clearing pores and reducing bacteria respectively. Another important aspect is to avoid harsh scrubbing; instead, gently pat the skin dry. Diet can play a role in acne for some people. If you notice breakouts after eating sweets, try to reduce your intake of sugars and high-glycemic foods. It’s essential to also focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables, as some studies suggest these might help prevent acne. Keep an eye out for stressors too, as stress can exacerbate acne by triggering hormonal changes. Techniques such as regular exercise, yoga, or meditation might be helpful in managing stress levels. Pollution exposure is tricky to control, but practical tactics can include avoiding touching your face with unclean hands and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen or barrier cream to protect your skin from environmental pollutants. Acne can also be hormonally driven, so if you notice patterns related to your menstrual cycle or other hormonal fluctuations, consider consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. They might suggest treatments like topical or oral medications, including retinoids or antibiotics, which can effectively manage severe cases.

However, if your acne is becoming unmanageable or significantly affects your quality of life, seeing a dermatologist is recommended. Persistent or cystic acne might need prescription treatments such as hormonal therapies or isotretinoin, which can more aggressively target oil production and inflammation. You should always be cautious of over-the-counter solutions; more isn’t always better, and mixing treatments can sometimes worsen the situation. If you ever notice signs like scarring or new patterns of breaking out, immediate professional guidance is best to prevent long-term skin damage. Overall, an individualized approach based on specific skin types and lifestyle factors will provide the best results in managing and reducing acne.
