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.

Dealing with dandruff and acne can be particularly frustrating since the two can often be related to scalp and skin oils. Let’s start with the dandruff – having a dry, itchy scalp sometimes worsens with certain hair products or infrequent washing. Consider using an over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoo containing zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or ketoconazole two to three times a week. These can help reduce yeast that often contributes to dandruff. Make sure to leave the shampoo on your scalp for at least 5 minutes before rinsing. As for the acne, your nose and forehead are part of the T-zone, typically oilier and prone to breakouts. Keeping this area clean is crucial, so washing your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser is a good start, avoiding harsh scrubs or alcohol-based toners that might irritate your skin further. Non-comedogenic moisturizers can help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier without clogging pores. For acne treatment, products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can be effective by reducing bacteria and oil build-up. Consistency is key, so apply as directed and be patient; these treatments may take several weeks to show improvement. Those small pores might look more prominent when acne and oiliness increase, so staying on top of the oil control is important. About sun exposure, always wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent tanning and skin damage. Sunscreen use is vital even on cloudy days or when indoors near windows. Mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide can be less irritating for acne-prone skin. If home measures seem insufficient, consider visiting a dermatologist who may prescribe stronger topical treatments or evaluate further for any underlying skin conditions. Lastly, maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated; your skin reflects the overall health of your body.
