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.

Hello dear See psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder. It is usually not fully curable. However certain preventive and medication can slow down the progression Adalepine topically twice a day for 1 month Methotrexate medications ( only after confirmation from oncologist or pathologist) Photodyanamic therapy or laser for surgical therapy in atraumatic way Kindly get in person consultation with oncologist for better clarification and immediate response Hopefully you recover soon Regards

Scalp psoriasis, a common condition, isn’t completely curable, but it’s certainly manageable with a variety of treatment options available. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that results in patches or “plaques” of skin that are red, scaly, and often itchy. Since you’ve had it for about 8 months, it’s crucial to focus on strategies to manage and reduce its symptoms. First, you might consider over-the-counter products with ingredients like coal tar or salicylic acid, which can help slow down skin cell growth and reduce scaling. If these are ineffective, seeking advice from a healthcare professional is a good next step. Prescription treatments might include topical steroids, vitamin D analogs, or retinoids. In some cases, phototherapy or systemic medications might be appropriate, particularly for more stubborn or widespread cases. Additionally, integrating lifestyle adjustments can be beneficial. Moisturize regularly to maintain skin hydration, reduce stress levels since they can exacerbate psoriasis, and avoid known triggers such as certain weather conditions or fabrics. Keep an eye on your diet too; some people find that reducing the intake of alcohol, caffeine, or high-sugar foods seems to help. Regular check-ups with a dermatologist can also be crucial in monitoring the condition and adjusting treatment strategies. Prioritize balancing your overall health, including sleep and mental well-being, as they indirectly impact your skin’s health and your body’s immune response. If you notice increased pain, cracking or bleeding, or signs of infection, these are signals to consult your healthcare provider promptly.
