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.

Determining your skin type is an essential first step to choosing the right products. While I’m limited by not being able to see your skin, I can guide you through a general thought process. Skin types are typically categorized as dry, oily, combination, normal, or sensitive. To assess yours, start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser, then leave it bare for about an hour without applying any products. After this, observe your skin: if your entire face feels tight, flaky, or rough, it’s likely dry. A shiny appearance in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) but not on cheeks usually points to combination skin. Overall shine tends to indicate oily skin, while normal skin feels balanced without significant dryness or oiliness. For sensitivity, look for redness or irritation after using typical products. Your symptoms provide additional clues: pigmentation often requires products that incorporate sun protection and address uneven tone, like those containing vitamin C or niacinamide. Tiny bumps might be due to clogged pores or minor irritation. Using gentle exfoliants such as salicylic acid can help, but proceed with caution, especially sensitive skin. The darkening can also suggest too much sun exposure without proper protection—sunscreen is vital, ideally SPF 30 or higher, applied daily. For under-eye pigmentation, consider simple lifestyle changes like more sleep, healthier diet, or lighter pressure when applying products there. These signs don’t definitively pinpoint a skin type but looking at the bigger context they might suggest combination or sensitive tendencies. When selecting products, prioritize fragrance-free options to minimize irritation and choose formulations that match predominant issues—like brightening for pigmentation, mattifying for oiliness or hydrating for dryness. Keep a journal of what seems to work best as you try different options, noting any changes or reactions. If things worsen or you encounter new or unclear issues, seek professional help when feasible – dermatologists provide comprehensive care and might give more personalized advice when in-person examination is possible.
