Dr. Bharat Joshi
I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it seems like you might be experiencing a yeast infection alongside possibly another condition such as bacterial infection. Yeast infections are commonly caused by an overgrowth of Candida, a type of yeast. The curdy, white cheese-like discharge and itching are typical signs. Additionally, the boils you mentioned may indicate a skin infection or another underlying condition, showing a need for different treatment. Addressing the yeast infection first, over-the-counter antifungal treatments such as clotrimazole or miconazole can be effective. These are often available as creams, ointments, or suppositories. It’s important to follow the instructions provided with these medicines for best results. Have good hygiene but avoid harsh soaps or douching which can imbalance the vaginal flora. Additionally, wearing loose-fitting, cotton underwear helps minimize moisture buildup, reducing the environment where yeast thrives. However, the presence of boils is unusual for a simple yeast infection and might suggest a condition like hidradenitis suppurativa or folliculitis, which may require different interventions or even antibiotics if bacterial infection is suspected. Since you’ve had these symptoms for three months, it’s really advisable to see a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis, as prolonged infections can lead to complications. A doctor can perform cultures or other tests to confirm the presence of yeast, bacteria, or another condition. In the meantime, monitor for any new symptoms like fever or spreading redness, which would necessitate immediate attention. A tailored treatment plan from a healthcare provider is crucial in this situation to address both the yeast infection and whatever may be causing the boils effectively.
