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.

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 ā€œBest Editorā€ award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an ā€œexcellent reviewer,ā€ 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 As per clinical history you need to undergo both hair hain therapy and anti hair fall therapy. Iam suggesting some medication and precautions. Please follow them for atleast 2 months Minoxidil (2% or 5%) or rosemary oil for hair gain Biotin- medications for growth Ketoconazole 2% (Nizoral) – antifungal shampoo twice a day Avoid excess moisture and keep the infected completely dry If possible dry with clean towel Use bhringraj or onion oil gently twice a day for both massage and nourishment In case of no improvement in 2 month, consult dermatologist for better clarification . Hopefully you recover soon Regards

I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say ā€œdon’t chase labs, chase the patient’s storyā€... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hello Vj For an oily scalp prone to dandruff, you’ll want a gentle yet effective shampoo that targets both concerns. A sulfate and paraben-free shampoo is a good choice as these ingredients can sometimes irritate the scalp and exacerbate your issues. A product with salicylic acid or ketoconazole can be helpful for dandruff, as they reduce flakes and control the fungal growth contributing to dandruff. You could consider shampoos containing tea tree oil or zinc pyrithione, which have antimicrobial properties.

Using a shampoo every alternate day is usually safe for oily scalps, but monitor how your scalp responds. If you find your scalp becoming too dry or your hair texture changing negatively, you might need to adjust the frequency. For hair fall and thinning, it’s worth considering a lightweight, non-greasy serum like minoxidil, which is FDA-approved for promoting hair growth. Note that it’s typically used twice daily directly on the scalp, but ensure you follow product instructions carefully. Make sure to look into if you’re suitable for minoxidil as it shouldn’t be used by everyone, and it’s wise to check with a healthcare provider if there are any contradictions with your health history.

In terms of lifestyle adjustments, ensure you’re managing stress levels, getting enough protein, and maintaining a well-balanced diet that supports hair health. Possible deficiencies in vitamins D and B12 or iron might exacerbate hair issues, so it’s sensible to discuss with a healthcare provider if supplementation might be necessary. If your dandruff and hair fall persists despite self-care measures, consult a dermatologist to explore underlying conditions that might need more targeted treatments.

Thank you
