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.

You’re dealing with a combination of acne and dandruff, and they can sometimes be interconnected. Acne is caused by overactive oil glands, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. It sounds like you’re mostly experiencing whiteheads which are clogged pores not exposed to air. Dandruff may contribute to this issue, as it can lead to more oil production and even irritate the skin. Let’s address both. First, managing dandruff is crucial here. An anti-dandruff shampoo containing zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or ketoconazole applied on the scalp 2-3 times a week could help reduce scalp oiliness and potential skin irritation. Try to avoid letting hair oils or conditioner touch your face, which might exacerbate the acne. For the acne itself, consider using a gentle cleanser twice daily, specifically one containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which can help unclog pores and reduce bacteria. Be careful not to scrub aggressively, as it could trigger more oil production and worsen inflammation. Sebum control is key, so after washing your face, use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain skin balance. Resist the temptation to pick or squeeze whiteheads, as this can lead to infection or scars. Consider an over-the-counter topical retinoid once a day in evening: it can prevent pores from clogging. However, if over-the-counter treatments don’t bring improvement in 2-3 months, or if the acne becomes severely inflamed or painful, consulting with a dermatologist would be wise. They can assess if prescription medications or treatments might be necessary. Keep in mind, lifestyle factors like diet and stress might also play roles. Attempt to maintain a balanced diet and manage stress but it’s primarily those direct skin and scalp treatments that will do the bulk of the work in controlling your symptoms.
