Make an enquiry

I have been working as a Consultant Dermatologist for four years. I have a broad based experience of treating a wide variety of inflammatory and non-inflammatory skin diseases that include management of skin conditions like acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, hidradenitis suppurativa, lichen planus, lichen sclerosis, immunobullous diseases like bullous pemphigoid etc for the last 11 years. I also treat hair and nail disorders as well as genital skin diseases. I have had extensive experience in managing skin cancers and non cancerous skin conditions.

I have a special interest in connective tissue disease related skin diseases like lupus, dermatomyositis, morphoea to name a few. I treat paediatric dermatoses in my NHS practice and I aim to provide the best personalised care. 

I have considerable experience in removal of malignant and benign skin lesions. I offer various procedures including punch biopsy and incisional biopsy of skin lesions and rashes, excision of cancerous and precancerous skin lesions, curettage and cauterisation of warts, skin tags and removal of cysts. I have carried out these procedures on a weekly basis for the last 11 years in my NHS practice. I provide intradermal steroid injections for keloid scar and inflammatory scarring hair conditions.

I have carried out over 2,000 skin procedures in my career.
