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.

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

Peeling, itching, burning, cuts, and foul-smelling discharge suggest a severe vaginal infection or dermatitis, which could be fungal, bacterial, or even sexually transmitted. Since over-the-counter treatments haven’t worked, self-medication can worsen the problem. Please consult a gynecologist urgently for proper examination, swab tests, and prescription treatment to safely and effectively treat the condition.

I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

Hello Disha,

I understand your concern, this might be pretty uncomfortable, but I’m here to help.

You probably have a chronic vaginal infection.

My advice to you would be -

Please get tests done - Vaginal swab culture & sensitivity, Pap smear, HIV/HBsAg/HCV (if not done recently). Review with me once reports come.

Avoid self-medicating with repeated kits or antibiotics.

For relief till reports: keep the area clean, dry, avoid scented washes, wear cotton underwear.

You may need a longer antifungal or combination treatment course, sometimes even oral medication, based on reports.

If lesions/cuts worsen or you see new growths → consult a gynecologist or a family physician in person.

Because you already have genital warts, follow-up with a gynecologist is important for HPV-related changes.

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med

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.

RX,

Tab. Fluconazole 150 mg one tablet now, repeat after 3 days, then after 7 days. Tab. Levocetirizine 5 mg at night for itching (7–10 days). Tab. Metronidazole 400 mg BD × 7 days – if foul smell persists Clotrimazole + Beclomethasone cream apply thin layer externally twice daily (not inside vagina)

Your symptoms are not just simple fungal infection – more likely a chronic mixed infection or skin disorder worsened by genital warts. A proper vaginal swab test is crucial. In the meantime, oral antifungal (fluconazole), metronidazole, and soothing creams can help.

I am a general physician with more than 10 yr of clinical experiance, and in this time I worked with patients from all age groups, from young kids to elderly with multiple chronic issues. My practice has been wide, but I gradually developed deeper intrest in diabetology. I spend much of my day focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and management of diabetes, using lifestyle modification, medical therapy and regular monitoring. Many patients come worried about complications, and I try to explain things in simple language, whether it is diet, excercise, or understanding lab reports, so they dont feel lost. I also conduct detailed diagnostic evaluation and use evidence based protocols to make sure treatment is reliable and updated, even if sometimes I double check myself when results dont match the clinical picture. Apart from regular OPD practice, I gained strong experiance in occupational health. Over years I worked with multiple companies handling pre employment checks, annual medical exams, workplace wellness programs, and ensuring compliance with industrial health and safety standards. It is diffrent from hospital practice, but equally important, because healthy workers mean safe and productive workplace. I run medical surveillance programs and health awareness sessions in collaboration with corporates, and this also gave me exposure to preventive strategies on a large scale. For me, patient care is not just treatment but building trust. My career revolve around preventive medicine, ethical clinical practice, and continuous learning. I keep myself updated with modern medical protocols, but I also value listening to patient worries, since medicine is not only about lab values but also about how a person feels in daily life. I make mistakes in words sometimes, but in my work I try to be very precise. At end of day, my aim is to provide care that is accessible, evidence based and truly centered on patient well being.

1. Peeling skin, itching, burning, cuts, and foul smell in the vaginal area usually suggest a fungal or mixed infection, sometimes worsened by genital warts.

2. Since you already tried lactobacillus and Clingen Forte without relief, it means a proper diagnosis and culture test are needed before continuing random medicines.

3. Avoid scratching, using harsh soaps, or home remedies as these can worsen the cuts and burning.

4. Wear only loose cotton undergarments, keep the area dry, and avoid scented washes or tight clothing.

5. A gynecologist may prescribe antifungal/antiviral medicines (oral and local) depending on whether it is fungal infection, bacterial vaginosis, or warts related irritation.

6. Please don’t delay, as untreated infections can worsen meet a gynecologist in person for examination and correct targeted treatment.

This problem is treatable with the right medicines after proper check-up, so don’t lose hope.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hi Disha, Since this has been one month and not improving, proper diagnosis have to be done . You need a gynecologist or dermatologist to examine properly. You should do : Vaginal swab / culture → to check exact bacteria or fungus Pap smear / HPV test (since you have genital warts history) Blood sugar check (high sugar can worsen fungal infections)

With the right diagnosis, treatment usually gives relief within 1–2 weeks.

It seems to be a mixed infection. So it needs antifungal+antibiotic treatment 1.Tab.Fluconazole 150 mg one today One after 3days, then one after 7 days 2.Tab Metronidazole 400mg 1-0-1 for 5 days 3.Clotrimazole cream intraginally at night

Keep vaginal area clean and dry always Wear cotton underwears 🛑You can do Sitz bath twice daily .

I strongly suggest to take tests and then take medication since you have warts and chronic symptoms

I trust this resolves your query. Thank you

I am working as a rehab therapist and over the years my focus turned strongly towards kids rehab, because I feel children need a diff kind of care, patience and approach when they are struggling with conditions that limit their growth or daily activity. Many pt I see come with long history of delays, difficulty in movement, sometimes speech or motor problems, and it can be overwhelming for families. I try to design therapy in a way that is not only clinical but also practical for parents to follow at home. I have seen that combining structured rehabilitation techniques with flexible methods suited to each child bring good results, and that is something I keep repeating to myself when I plan any session. Every kid progress differently, sometimes slow sometimes suddenly fast, and in that moment my job is to keep adjusting the plan without losing sight of the bigger goal. In practice I work on exercises that strengthen mobility, balance and coordination, also focus on daily life activities like grasping, walking, or posture correction. Parents often ask me about timeline for cure but I learned to explain that rehab is less about rushing and more about sustaining. Still, I feel proud when many of my patients recover with visible improvement and even reach milestones that were earlier delayed. That satisfaction is hard to put in words, but it makes the long hours of therapy worth it. Communication is also a big part of my work, since families need reassurance, guidance and clarity at every stage. I treat each case as unique, there is no single way that fit all, and that flexibility in treatment is what I consider my strength. Mistaks happen, sometimes I change plans midway, sometimes I realise a certain method is not working and I quickly shift, but that trial and correction actually helps the child get what is best for them. My way of treatment may look simple from outside but it is rooted in consistent effort, empathy and experience with many children who trusted me in their journey.

I am a doctor with 5 years total experience, mostly split between Emergency and Obstetrics & Gynaecology—and honestly both keep you on your toes in totally different ways. In the ER, you don’t get time to second-guess much. Things come at you fast—trauma, active bleeding, breathlessness, collapsed vitals—and you learn to think, act, then think again. But in Obs/Gyn, it’s more layered. One moment you’re handling routine antenatal care, the next you're managing obstructed labour at 3am with everything depending on timing. I try not to treat anyone like "just another case." I take proper history—like actual, detailed listening—and then move step by step. Exam, investigations only if needed (not just because), and explaining things clearly to the patient and attenders. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do repeat myself twice or thrice. People are stressed, they don’t hear it all the first time. Communication I’d say is one of my stronger areas, but not in some fancy textbook way. Just knowing *how* to talk, when to pause, when not to overload info. Like with a first-time mother in pain who doesn’t care about medical terms—she just wants to know if her baby’s okay. Those moments taught me more about medicine than most of my exams. I handle postpartum issues, early pregnancy complications, PCOD, menstrual complaints, emergency contraception consults too—bit of everything. And in casualty shifts, I’ve done everything from inserting Ryle’s tubes to managing hypertensive crises. You have to stay sharp. But also know when to slow down and re-evalutate something that doesn’t fit right. Counselling’s part of the job too. Sometimes patients need reassurance more than a prescription. Sometimes they just need honesty, even if the answer isn't simple. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do care enough to find them. Bit by bit. Every single day.

Vaginal skin peeling, itching, burning, and an unpleasant smell indicate a possible vulvovaginal infection or a dermatological condition that needs further investigation. Given that over-the-counter treatments and medications like probiotics (lactobacillus) and Clingen Forte have not resolved your symptoms, it’s crucial to consider other potential causes. Yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and sexually transmitted infections like trichomoniasis or herpes could all present with similar symptoms. However, given the persistence and nature of your symptoms, it may also be a dermatological issue like lichen sclerosus or an allergic reaction to products such as soaps or laundry detergents that you use regularly. It’s important to see a healthcare provider for a thorough examination. They might perform a pelvic exam, sample vaginal discharge, or do a skin swab to make an accurate diagnosis. Avoid using any scented hygiene products or douches as they can exacerbate symptoms. Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear to minimize irritation. Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated to support your immune system. Typically, if there’s a bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment might be required, whereas antifungal creams or medications are used for fungal infections. If it’s a dermatological issue, prescription corticosteroids might be necessary. The smell and severity of symmptoms you describe could suggest a significant or resistant infection, so timely medical assessment is critical. If you experience severe pain, fever, or rapid worsening of symptoms, seek medical attention immediately, as this could indicate a more serious underlying condition.
