Dr. Neeraj Agarwal
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.

The persistence of acne, especially if you’ve recently taken an emergency contraceptive like an I-pill, can be frustrating. These pills can potentially cause hormonal fluctuations which might contribute to acne formation. That said, it’s important to consider various factors that could be contributing to this. Hormonal changes play a significant role in acne, even after a single exposure, and they can take a bit of time to stabilize. Since the acne is persistent, there are a couple of steps you can take, focusing on both lifestyle and products that could help manage the condition. Ensure you’re using a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser twice daily — don’t over-wash as it can exacerbate the situation. Incorporate topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help reduce the inflammation and clear clogged pores. However, these can sometimes be irritable so start slow, perhaps every other day to see how your skin reacts. Prioritize a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent your skin from drying out, which can actually prompt more oil production. If lifestyle factors like your diet are within your control, try reducing high-glycemic-index foods that could be affecting your skin. But if after trying these there is no improvement or if the acne worsens, it might be time to see a dermatologist. They might consider prescribing topical retinoids or oral medications which can more effectively address hormonal acne. Prescription treatments are more targeted and often more effective when over-the-counter options aren’t enough. Remember not to pick or squeeze the bumps as this can lead to scarring. Seeking professional medical advice would also rule out other potential skin conditions that might be mimicking acne.
