Why Choose CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Andheri East for Dermatology

Turnaround matters, so the consultation is organised to reach a diagnosis in as few visits as possible. Where the case allows, the examination and any needed tests are planned together. Diagnosis comes first, since many skin, hair and scalp problems look similar but need different treatment. Consultations look beyond the visible symptom to the cause, whether hormonal, autoimmune, infectious or genetic, so that management addresses the condition. For conditions that flare and return, the aim is long-term control. Services include:

• Consultation and diagnosis for inflammatory, infectious and growth-related skin conditions, with consults and diagnostics completed in a single visit where the case allows

• Hair and scalp evaluation for hormonal, autoimmune and infection-related hair loss

• Scheduled follow-up for chronic conditions needing ongoing monitoring

• Referral to other departments when a skin condition is linked to a broader health concern

• Cost estimates and insurance or cashless options explained at the outset

Follow-up visits for chronic conditions are easier to schedule with Andheri Metro station and the Western Express Highway nearby.

Inflammatory Skin Conditions

These arise when the immune system reacts to a trigger, which may be environmental, genetic or unidentified. Most cycle between flare-ups and remission.

• Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
  dry, itchy, chronic patches that flare with irritants, stress or weather

• Psoriasis
  autoimmune thick, scaly plaques, commonly on the elbows, knees and scalp

• Contact dermatitis
  a reaction to contact with a substance, from mild redness to blistering

• Urticaria (hives)
  sudden, itchy, raised welts, sometimes with no traceable cause

• Vitiligo
  loss of skin colour in patches because the immune system affects pigment cells. It is not contagious

Skin Infections and Growths

Infections are caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses, and growths are usually benign, though a dermatology specialist should still evaluate them.

• Fungal infections
  ringworm, athlete's foot and yeast infections, which return if treatment stops early

• Bacterial skin infections
  cellulitis and impetigo, which can advance quickly and sometimes need antibiotics

• Viral skin conditions
  warts and molluscum contagiosum, spread by contact and sometimes needing repeat sessions

• Acne and acne scarring
  inflammation and clogged pores that can scar if untreated

• Skin growths
  moles, cysts and skin tags, to be checked if they change

Hair and Scalp Conditions

Hair and scalp concerns are evaluated separately because their causes vary and shape treatment.

• Androgenetic alopecia
  pattern thinning influenced by genes and hormones

• Alopecia areata
  sudden, patchy hair loss from autoimmune activity

• Scalp psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis
  flaking, itching and inflammation, often mistaken for dandruff

• Telogen effluvium
  temporary shedding after stress, illness or a major physical change

• Fungal scalp infections
  more common in children, treated with antifungal medicine
