I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

This is a symptomatic management plan. Since your condition is recurrent for >1 month, I strongly advise you to visit a dermatologist once to confirm whether it is eczema, fungal infection, or psoriasis or it could be viral

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.

The symptoms you’re describing could be related to several conditions. One possibility is dyshidrotic eczema, which commonly affects the palms and soles and can present as small, itchy blisters that may later turn into brown patches as they heal. Another possibility might be hand, foot, and mouth disease, though this is less common in adults and usually resolves on its own. Certain infections or allergic reactions can also cause similar symptoms, so considering any recent exposures or changes in products like soaps or lotions might add useful context.

Since these bumps are painful and recurring, and given their persistence, it’s wise to seek an in-person evaluation with a healthcare provider. They can perform a physical examination, take a detailed history, and possibly conduct tests to determine the underlying cause. A dermatological consult might be especially worthwhile, as they can evaluate whether a skin biopsy or other tests would be needed.

In the meantime, try to keep those areas clean and dry. Non-prescription measures, such as applying hypoallergenic moisturizers or colloidal oatmeal baths, could provide some relief. Avoid scratching, as this can lead to infections or scarring. If symptoms worsen or you notice swelling or signs of infection like pus, redness spreading, or fever, see a medical professional sooner rather than later. This approach not only helps in managing symptoms but also reduces the risk of complications or mismanagement.
