Dr. Mythreyi Rajendran MBBS., M.D., (DVL) (DERMATOLOGIST)

Dermatology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders affecting the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. Dermatologists are trained physicians who specialize in addressing a wide range of dermatologic conditions, from common skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis to more complex diseases such as skin cancer, melanoma, and autoimmune disorders.

Using a combination of clinical examination, dermatopathology (microscopic examination of skin biopsies), and advanced diagnostic techniques like dermoscopy and skin imaging, dermatologists accurately diagnose dermatologic conditions and develop individualized treatment plans.

Treatment modalities in dermatology may include topical medications, oral medications, phototherapy, laser therapy, cryotherapy, chemical peels, and surgical procedures such as excisions, Mohs surgery for skin cancer, and cosmetic procedures like Botox and fillers.

In addition to treating existing conditions, dermatologists also play a crucial role in preventive care, offering guidance on sun protection, skin cancer screenings, and skincare routines to maintain skin health and prevent future problems.

Dermatologists often collaborate with other medical specialties, including oncologists, rheumatologists, and allergists, to provide comprehensive care for patients with complex dermatologic conditions. Their expertise, combined with a focus on patient education and evidence-based practices, ensures that individuals receive optimal care for their dermatologic needs, promoting skin health and overall well-being.
