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 an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

Acne, particularly in oily skin, often relates to excessive sebum production, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. Waking up with pustules on your nose suggests over-production and build-up during the night. Common contributing factors include hormonal fluctuations, stress, diet, or your skincare routine. Start with a consistent but gentle skincare regimen: cleanse twice daily with a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide product which are effective for most people with acne-prone skin. They help to unclog pores and reduce bacteria. With oily skin, a non-comedogenic moisturizer can help maintain a barrier without adding to the oiliness. For acne scars: consider topical retinoids which promote cell turnover and can gradually improve texture over time. They also help manage active acne. Daily use of broad-spectrum SPF 30 (or higher) is crucial to prevent scars from darkening with sun exposure. Don’t attempt to squeeze or pick at pimples; this can worsen inflammation and lead to more scarring. Optimal diet—rich in antioxidants and low in dairy and sugar—can also help; while evidence isn’t definitive, some patients find improvement. If over-the-counter treatments aren’t effective, consult with a dermatologist. They may recommend prescription medications like oral contraceptives, antibiotics, or retinoids, or in-office treatments such as chemical peels, lasers, or microneedling for scars. Always patch-test new products on a small skin area first to check for reactions, and adjust based on how your skin responds. Keep track of any improvements or reactions as you incorporate new steps into your routine. Seek medical advice if you notice worsening or persistent inflammation, cysts, or unusual changes in skin.
