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 fungal infection typically tunia corporis take ample amount of time to go completely Iam suggesting some medications Take them for atleast 15 days Micogel to be applied topically Nizoral for Skin application Terbinafine 250 mg twice a day for 5 days ( oral) Fluconazole Diflucan Itraconazole -Sporanox ( on prescription by general physician only) Fusidic acid/lulliconazole topical 3-4 times for 5 days In addition, following preventive measures should be taken Dry the involved organ ( hair,feet or skin) Prevent moisture contamination Some medications are harmful so regular liver function tests are must In case of no recovery, consult general physician or dermatologist for better clarification. Please take only those above mentioned medications which are suggested by me. Rest which are supposed to be given by dermatologist need to be taken only after recommendation from concerned physician Regards

If you’ve been dealing with jock itch (tinea cruris) for a few months and it’s not improving with over-the-counter antifungal creams, it might be time to rethink your treatment strategy. Jock itch is commonly caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes, and sometimes they can be stubborn. One effective step you could try is switching to a different type of antifungal; options include terbinafine or clotrimazole if you’ve not already tried these. Make sure you apply the cream as directed on the package, usually twice a day, and continue to use it for a few weeks even if the rash appears to improve. It’s also important to keep the affected area clean and dry, as moisture can feed the fungi. Wear loose-fitting, breathable underwear made of cotton to reduce sweating. If possible, avoid activities that cause excessive sweating. Alongside creams, you could consider an antifungal powder to help keep the area dry. If these measures still aren’t effective, it might be worth seeing a healthcare professional. They can confirm the diagnosis and perhaps offer an oral antifungal medication, which can be prescribed if topical treatments aren’t enough. Additionally, they can rule out other skin conditions that might mimic jock itch, such as psoriasis or contact dermatitis. Never neglect personal hygiene, and avoid sharing towels or clothing with others to prevent spreading the infection. If there’s any sign of secondary bacterial infection — like an increase in discharge or significant pain — it’s crucial to seek medical attention promptly. While these interventions could make a difference, a tailored approach from a professional might ensure that you’re on the best path to recovery.
