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.

Determining whether you’re dealing with acne or pigmentation requires a closer look at the symptoms and the skin’s condition. Acne typically presents with red, inflamed pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes cystic bumps. It can be painful or tender to the touch, especially if inflammatory. On the other hand, pigmentation issues include dark spots (hyperpigmentation) or lighter patches (hypopigmentation) of skin. These patches usually aren’t raised and are not inflamed, but they could be the result of post-inflammatory responses following acne or skin injury. For an ongoing issue lasting 8 months, it might be beneficial to look into potential causes like hormonal changes, use of certain skincare products, or lifestyle factors such as stress and diet. Begin by evaluating any personal skin-care products you are using. Avoid overly harsh products that irritate the skin as they can exacerbate both acne and pigmentation. Gentle, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) products, with ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can help manage acne. For pigmentation, products containing ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, or alpha arbutin may assist in lightening dark spots. Sun exposure can worsen pigmentation, so daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen is imperative. If over-the-counter methods are not effective, consulting a dermatologist is recommended to explore prescription options which may include topical retinoids for acne or skin-lightening agents for pigmentation. Additionally, professional treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy may provide more significant results. Early professional assessment and management can prevent potential scarring and further complications.
