Dermatology

Overview

Dermatology, the science of skin, is one of the many specialties that have evolved from general medicine, although its recognition as a distinct specialty is recent.
Dermatological diseases (including Venereology and Leprology) constitute approximately 30% of outpatient attendance in any hospital. They are often easily noticed by others and cause great social concern to the patients. Skin disorders are an important factor causing psychological burden and very often their association with internal diseases, makes the subject special and important to study in the current scenario. Considering this fact and to provide specialty services to the rural population in and around Bangalore, the Department of Skin & V.D was established since the inception of the college. The department though initially accredited to undertake training of undergraduate students, presently is recognized by the Medical Council of India (MCI) to train young doctors for postgraduate degree in dermatology. The department is well provided with state of the art equipment and continues to acquire more equipment which is required for imparting training to the students and is also involved in research.

Department has a spacious outpatient wing, academic offices for the entire faculty, a good department library and a seminar room with audio visual aids.
The department is well known for its phototherapy facilities; the department is equipped with whole range of UVA, UVB (both whole body and hand & feet unit) as well as targeted phototherapy
Special Clinics like Cosmetology Clinics, Acne Clini, STD Clinic, and Leprosy Clinics are attached to the Department of Dermatology.
Aesthetic dermatology is ever growing subspecialty of dermatology. A range of advanced cosmetic and laser procedures are being performed on a daily basis. These include chemical peels, platelet rich plasma therapy and a range of LASER procedures to treat acne scars, hair reduction, and tattoo/ mole removal to name a few.
