Chemical Peel: Reveal Fresh, Radiant Skin Beneath the Surface

Your skin sheds millions of cells every day—but sometimes, it needs a little help to let go of dullness, pigmentation, and uneven tone. That’s where chemical peels come in.

At SkinWise Clinic, we use medical-grade peels tailored to your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle—because no two skins are alike, and skincare should never be one-size-fits-all.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment where a specially formulated chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove its damaged outer layers. The goal? To stimulate cell renewal, improve texture, and reveal smoother, brighter skin beneath.

Depending on the type of peel, it may work on the epidermis (superficial) or go deeper into the dermis for more intensive results.

Benefits of a Chemical Peel

Chemical peels can treat a variety of skin concerns across different skin types—especially when performed by a trained dermatologist.

Here’s what they help with:

Pigmentation & Melasma
Acne & Post-Acne Marks
Dullness & Uneven Skin Tone
Fine Lines & Early Wrinkles
Tanning & Sun Damage
Rough or Textured Skin

Glutathione Injections: Skin Brightening or Hype?

We all want healthy, glowing skin. And in recent years, glutathione injections have become a buzzword in the world of skin lightening and anti-aging. But what exactly are they—and do they really work?

Let’s break down the science behind glutathione, what it can (and can’t) do for your skin, and whether it’s the right option for you.

What Is Glutathione?

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally produced by our bodies. It helps:

  • Fight free radicals

  • Detoxify the liver

  • Boost immunity

  • Protect skin from oxidative damage

But over time, factors like pollution, stress, poor diet, and aging can reduce glutathione levels in the body.

How Do Glutathione Injections Work?

In skincare, glutathione is administered intravenously (IV)—that means directly into the bloodstream. The idea is simple:
By increasing your body’s glutathione levels, you may see:

  • A brighter, more even skin tone

  • Reduction in pigmentation and tanning

  • Improved skin texture and glow

What Are the Benefits?

At SkinWise Clinic, patients often ask about glutathione for the following reasons:

✅ Skin Brightening

Not “whitening,” but a gradual lightening of hyperpigmentation and dullness.

✅ Anti-Aging Support

It can reduce oxidative stress—one of the major causes of skin aging.

✅ Detox Effects

By supporting liver health, glutathione may indirectly benefit the skin.

Is It Safe?

Yes, when done under medical supervision, glutathione injections are considered safe for most individuals. However, results can vary from person to person, and long-term studies are still ongoing.

⚠️ Beware of unregulated treatments or beauty clinics using non-certified products.

At SkinWise Clinic, we only use pharmaceutical-grade glutathione with proper protocols.

What to Expect

  • Dosage: Typically once or twice a week depending on skin goals

  • Duration: Usually 4–8 weeks for visible results

  • Combination: Often combined with Vitamin C for better absorption

  • Maintenance: Periodic sessions may be needed

Are the Results Permanent?

Glutathione doesn’t change your genetic skin tone. Maintenance sessions and lifestyle support (sun protection, diet, hydration) are essential for lasting results.

Who Should Avoid It?

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women

  • People with certain liver or kidney conditions

  • Anyone taking chemotherapy or immunosuppressive drugs

Always consult a certified dermatologist before starting.

Final Word from Dr. Khushboo

"At SkinWise Clinic, we believe in informed choices—not just trends. Glutathione injections can be a powerful tool when used ethically and mindfully. But it’s not magic. Healthy skin starts from the inside out.”

Sebaceous Cyst: When a Small Lump Calls for Gentle Attention

You may feel it before you see it—a soft, round lump under your skin that moves when touched. It doesn’t hurt… until it does. This is likely a sebaceous cyst—one of the most common skin growths, yet often misunderstood.

At SkinWise Clinic, we help you understand, treat, and safely remove cysts—before they become painful or infected.

What Is a Sebaceous Cyst?

A sebaceous cyst, often referred to as an epidermoid or epidermal inclusion cyst, is a non-cancerous, slow-growing lump that forms under the skin. It arises when a hair follicle or sebaceous gland becomes blocked, trapping keratin and oil inside a sac-like lining.

Contrary to popular belief, most “sebaceous” cysts don’t actually come from sebaceous glands—but the term is still widely used.

Common Sites

  • Scalp

  • Face

  • Neck

  • Back

  • Ears

  • Chest

  • Groin

They are usually painless, unless infected or ruptured.

How to Recognize a Sebaceous Cyst

  • Round, dome-shaped lump beneath the skin

  • Skin-colored, white, or yellowish

  • Moves slightly under pressure

  • May have a visible central black dot (pore or punctum)

  • Size ranges from a few millimetres to several centimetres

  • May ooze foul-smelling cheesy material if ruptured

What Causes It?

Sebaceous cysts occur when dead skin cells or keratin get trapped, often due to:

  • Blocked hair follicles

  • Injury or trauma to the skin

  • Acne or oily skin

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Hormonal imbalances

They are not caused by poor hygiene or infections.

Are They Dangerous?

Most sebaceous cysts are harmless, but you should seek attention if:

  • The cyst becomes painful or swollen

  • It starts growing rapidly

  • Redness or pus develops (sign of infection)

  • It recurs frequently

  • You’re unsure if it’s a cyst or something more serious

A proper diagnosis rules out rare but serious conditions like pilar cysts, abscesses, or lipomas.

How We Treat Sebaceous Cysts at SkinWise Clinic

We provide safe, aesthetic, and effective treatments, tailored to your needs.

✅ Medical Management (for inflamed cysts)

  • Antibiotics (topical or oral)

  • Warm compresses for comfort

  • Steroid injections to reduce inflammation (in select cases)

✂️ Minor Surgical Excision (Definitive Treatment)

  • Done under local anaesthesia

  • The entire cyst sac is carefully removed to prevent recurrence

  • Quick, outpatient procedure (20–40 minutes)

  • Minimal scarring with expert technique

❗We Avoid:

  • Squeezing or popping cysts (can cause infection or scarring)

  • Incomplete drainage (leaves sac behind = recurrence)

Aftercare

  • Mild soreness or swelling for 1–2 days

  • Keep area clean and dry

  • Stitches (if used) are removed in 5–7 days

  • Scar care tips will be provided

  • Re-pigmentation and flattening occur over weeks

Lipoma: When a Soft Lump Appears Beneath the Skin

You may have noticed a soft, squishy lump under your skin—painless, slow-growing, and mobile when pressed. While it might seem alarming at first, chances are it’s a lipoma—a common, benign growth of fatty tissue.

At SkinWise Clinic, we help you diagnose, manage, and remove lipomas safely, ensuring peace of mind and cosmetic comfort.

What Is a Lipoma?

A lipoma is a non-cancerous tumour made of fat cells. It typically forms between the skin and the underlying muscle, and can appear anywhere on the body—especially:

  • Neck

  • Shoulders

  • Back

  • Arms

  • Thighs

  • Trunk

Most lipomas are solitary, but some people may develop multiple lipomas (a condition known as familial multiple lipomatosis).

How Does It Feel?

  • Soft or rubbery to the touch

  • Moves easily when pressed

  • Usually painless

  • Grows slowly over months or years

  • Ranges from pea-sized to several centimeters

Occasionally, lipomas may become painful if they press on nearby nerves or develop inflammation.

What Causes Lipomas?

The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but several factors contribute:

  • Genetics – Lipomas often run in families

  • Minor trauma – Sometimes develop after injury

  • Age group – Most common between ages 30–60

  • Metabolic syndromes or rare syndromes (e.g., Madelung’s disease)

Lipomas are not linked to obesity, despite being fatty growths.

Are Lipomas Dangerous?

No—lipomas are benign and rarely pose any health risk. However, they should be assessed if:

  • They grow rapidly

  • Cause pain or discomfort

  • Change in consistency

  • Are located in cosmetically sensitive areas

  • Interfere with movement or clothing

  • You are uncertain if it’s really a lipoma

In rare cases, a liposarcoma (malignant tumour) may mimic a lipoma—hence, medical evaluation is important.

Diagnosis at SkinWise Clinic

We diagnose lipomas primarily through:

  • Physical examination

  • Ultrasound or MRI (if deeper tissue involvement is suspected)

  • FNAC or biopsy (only in suspicious cases)

Treatment Options

🔹 Observation

  • Small, painless lipomas can simply be monitored over time

  • No medication can dissolve a lipoma

🔹 Surgical Excision (Definitive Treatment)

  • Simple outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia

  • The entire lipoma is removed through a small incision

  • Minimal scarring with good cosmetic outcomes

  • Prevents recurrence (if completely excised)

🔹 Liposuction (Selected Cases)

  • Used in larger or softer lipomas

  • Less scarring but higher chance of recurrence if capsule is not removed

Aftercare and Recovery

  • Small wound dressing for a few days

  • Stitches removed in 5–7 days (if non-absorbable)

  • Minimal downtime—most patients return to routine activities the same day

  • Scar care and suture-line care as advised

Earlobe Repair: Because Small Tears Deserve Thoughtful Attention

Your earlobes carry more than just earrings—they carry identity, style, and stories. So when a tear, stretch, or deformity disrupts that, it can feel disproportionately unsettling. The good news? Earlobe repair is simple, safe, and beautifully restorative.

At SkinWise Clinic, we combine aesthetic precision with medical care to help you wear your earrings—and your confidence—freely again.

What Is Earlobe Repair?

Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure to correct:

  • Torn earlobes – often from heavy earrings or accidental trauma

  • Stretched earlobes – due to long-term use of gauges or large earrings

  • Multiple piercings gone wrong

  • Keloid or scar tissue removal

  • Asymmetry or irregular lobe shape

The goal is to recreate a natural-looking, strong earlobe that can even be re-pierced after healing.

Common Causes of Earlobe Damage

  • Heavy earrings worn frequently

  • Sudden pulls or trauma (e.g. child tugging, hairbrush snags)

  • Sleeping with earrings

  • Poorly placed piercings

  • Prolonged gauge use

  • Keloid-prone skin

Even the most cautious person can experience a tear—it’s more common than you think.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Anyone with:

  • A fully or partially torn earlobe

  • Elongated piercings that affect earring fit

  • Desire for aesthetic improvement of lobe shape or symmetry

  • Keloid scars needing surgical correction under expert care

We assess each case individually—your skin type, scar tendency, and healing goals all matter.

What to Expect During the Procedure

At SkinWise Clinic, earlobe repair is done as an outpatient, in-clinic procedure:

  1. Local anaesthesia to ensure total comfort

  2. Excision of the stretched or torn skin margins

  3. Precise layered suturing for strength and scar minimization

  4. Sterile dressing and post-care instructions

Time taken: ~30–45 minutes
💼 Downtime: Minimal—you can return to routine the same day

Recovery and Aftercare

  • Sutures are removed in 5–7 days

  • Avoid sleeping on the side of the repair

  • Keep the area clean and dry

  • Scar creams may be recommended

  • Re-piercing can be done after 6–8 weeks—in a safe, corrected position

Will There Be a Scar?

Yes—but usually very minimal and well-camouflaged in the natural folds of the earlobe. With proper technique and care, the results are both functional and aesthetic.

Why Choose SkinWise Clinic?

✔️ Performed by a trained dermatologist
✔️ Clean, sterile, aesthetic-focused procedure
✔️ Guidance on safe re-piercing
✔️ Keloid-prone patients handled with caution and experience
✔️ Minimal downtime, maximum confidence

Nail Infections: When Nails Reveal More Than You Think

Nails do more than complete your look—they reflect your health. So when your nails change color, become brittle, or start hurting, it’s time to pay attention. Often, it’s a sign of a nail infection.

At SkinWise Clinic, we don’t just treat the visible problem—we uncover the cause, restore nail health, and prevent recurrence.

What Are Nail Infections?

Nail infections, medically called onychomycosis (for fungal) or paronychia (for bacterial), are common conditions that affect the fingernails or toenails. These infections can involve the nail plate, nail bed, or surrounding skin, and if left untreated, can lead to discomfort, discoloration, and permanent nail changes.

Types of Nail Infections

1. Fungal Infections (Onychomycosis)

  • Caused by dermatophytes, yeasts (like Candida), or non-dermatophyte molds

  • More common in toenails due to moisture and footwear

  • Nail becomes thick, discolored, crumbly, or lifted from the nail bed

2. Bacterial Infections (Paronychia)

  • Often due to injury, biting, or excessive wet work

  • Redness, swelling, and pain around the nail fold

  • May form pus in acute cases

  • Chronic paronychia affects multiple nails, usually due to Candida

3. Viral Infections

  • Warts or periungual warts (around the nail)

  • Painful and can distort the nail growth

Causes and Risk Factors

  • Repeated exposure to moisture (dishwashing, wet occupations)

  • Nail trauma (cutting nails too short, biting, aggressive manicures)

  • Diabetes or immunosuppression

  • Wearing tight shoes or non-breathable socks

  • Visiting unhygienic salons

  • Fungal skin infections like athlete’s foot spreading to the nail

How Do Nail Infections Present?

  • Discoloration: yellow, white, brown, or black spots

  • Thickened or brittle nails

  • Separation of nail from the nail bed

  • Red, tender skin around the nail

  • Pus discharge or throbbing pain

  • Nail deformities or bad odor

Are Nail Infections Contagious?

Yes, fungal and viral nail infections are contagious, especially in communal settings like gyms, pools, or salons. They spread via direct contact or shared surfaces.

How We Treat Nail Infections at SkinWise Clinic

We believe in targeted, evidence-based care—and no guesswork.

🔬 Diagnosis First

  • Nail scraping or clippings for microscopy, culture, or PCR

  • Helps us identify the organism and choose the right treatment

💊 Antifungal Treatments

  • Topical antifungals (ciclopirox, amorolfine) for early cases

  • Oral antifungals (terbinafine, itraconazole) for moderate to severe infections

  • Treatment durations are longer for toenails (3–6 months)

💉 For Bacterial Infections

  • Topical or oral antibiotics

  • Drainage if pus is present

  • Nail hygiene and barrier protection

🩺 Laser or Nail Avulsion (if required)

  • In resistant or painful cases, we may trim or remove part of the nail

🧴 Chronic Paronychia Management

  • Barrier creams

  • Antifungal and anti-inflammatory treatment

  • Lifestyle correction

Nail Care Tips to Prevent Recurrence

  • Keep nails clean and dry

  • Trim nails straight across—not too short

  • Avoid nail-biting and aggressive cuticle cutting

  • Disinfect tools and avoid sharing nail equipment

  • Choose breathable socks and rotate shoes

  • Moisturize nail folds if hands are frequently in water

Urticaria (Hives): When the Skin Talks in Red Whispers

It comes out of nowhere—a red, raised rash that itches like crazy. Maybe it disappears in hours, maybe it lingers. You try to pinpoint a cause, but the mystery continues. This is the world of urticaria, commonly known as hives.

At SkinWise Clinic, we know how frustrating, unpredictable, and disruptive hives can be—and we’re here to help your skin find peace again.

What Is Urticaria?

Urticaria is a skin condition marked by sudden, itchy, raised welts or bumps—called wheals—that appear and fade within hours. These welts can vary in size and location and are usually red or skin-colored.

Sometimes hives are a one-time event. Sometimes, they return daily. That’s when they need deeper attention.

What Does It Look Like?

  • Raised, red or pale welts (can look like mosquito bites)

  • Itching or burning sensation

  • Can appear anywhere: face, arms, legs, trunk—even lips or eyelids

  • Lesions often change shape, size, and position rapidly

  • Each bump usually lasts less than 24 hours but new ones may appear

Types of Urticaria

⏱ Acute Urticaria

  • Lasts less than 6 weeks

  • Often due to infections, medications, or food triggers

📆 Chronic Urticaria

  • Persists beyond 6 weeks

  • May have no clear cause (called chronic spontaneous urticaria)

  • Triggered by pressure, cold, heat, exercise, or stress (chronic inducible urticaria)

⚠️ Angioedema

  • Swelling of deeper layers, often in lips, eyelids, or throat

  • Can occur with or without hives

  • Needs urgent care if breathing is affected

What Causes Urticaria?

It occurs when mast cells in the skin release histamine, causing swelling and itch. Triggers can include:

  • Certain foods (nuts, seafood, eggs)

  • Medications (NSAIDs, antibiotics)

  • Infections (viral, bacterial, parasitic)

  • Insect bites or stings

  • Pressure, temperature change, sun exposure

  • Stress

  • Autoimmune causes (especially in chronic urticaria)

Is It Dangerous?

Most hives are not life-threatening, but angioedema or anaphylaxis (severe allergy) can be medical emergencies.

Even when not dangerous, chronic urticaria can affect sleep, concentration, and quality of life—which is why proper diagnosis and care are crucial.

Treatment at SkinWise Clinic

We treat hives with a layered approach, focusing on control, comfort, and clarity:

✅ First-Line Relief

  • Non-sedating antihistamines (cetirizine, fexofenadine, loratadine)

  • Doubling or tripling dose in chronic cases (under supervision)

🧴 Topical Comfort

  • Soothing moisturisers or calamine lotions (for mild episodes)

💊 Second-Line Options

  • Montelukast (for added control)

  • Short-term steroids (for severe flares)

💉 Advanced Therapy

  • Omalizumab (anti-IgE biologic) for chronic, treatment-resistant urticaria

🧪 Investigations (if needed)

  • Autoimmune screening

  • Allergy testing

  • Thyroid or infection panels in persistent or atypical cases

Living with Urticaria

  • Avoid known triggers if identified

  • Wear loose, breathable clothing

  • Keep a symptom diary

  • Don’t self-medicate with frequent steroids

  • Seek medical help early—especially if swelling affects breathing or the tongue

Alopecia Areata: When Hair Loss Becomes a Whisper from Within

You wake up and notice a small bald patch—round, smooth, and sudden. No itching. No scarring. Just emptiness where hair used to be. That’s often the first sign of alopecia areata, a condition where your immune system turns against your hair follicles.

At SkinWise Clinic, we understand that this kind of hair loss isn't just physical—it's deeply personal.

What Is Alopecia Areata?

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss—usually in round, well-defined patches.

It can affect:

  • Scalp

  • Eyebrows

  • Eyelashes

  • Beard area

  • Or even the entire body in rare cases

The condition is non-scarring, meaning the follicles remain alive and regrowth is often possible.

What Does It Look Like?

  • Smooth, round bald patches

  • Often appears suddenly

  • Hairs around the patch may look "exclamation-mark shaped"

  • In some cases, nails may show pitting or ridging

Hair may regrow on its own—but the condition can relapse or spread unpredictably.

What Causes It?

The exact cause is unknown, but it’s believed to be a mix of:

  • Genetics (family history of autoimmune conditions)

  • Immune dysregulation

  • Stress (emotional or physical)

  • Viral infections or environmental triggers

Alopecia areata is not contagious and does not reflect poor hair care or hygiene.

Types of Alopecia Areata

  • Patchy Alopecia Areata – Most common; round bald patches

  • Alopecia Totalis – Complete loss of scalp hair

  • Alopecia Universalis – Loss of all body hair

  • Ophiasis – Band-like hair loss along the sides and back of the scalp

Is It Curable?

There’s no permanent cure, but many cases go into remission. With the right care, hair often regrows—and even if it doesn’t right away, medical therapies can stimulate follicles and prevent spread.

How We Treat Alopecia Areata at SkinWise Clinic

Our approach is customised, combining medical insight with emotional support:

🧴 Topical & Intralesional Therapy

  • Topical corticosteroids to reduce local inflammation

  • Minoxidil to stimulate growth

  • Intralesional steroid injections—highly effective for small patches

💊 Oral Medications (in extensive or resistant cases)

  • Steroids or immunosuppressants (short-term)

  • JAK inhibitors (for severe cases; emerging treatments)

🌱 Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

  • Natural stimulation using your body’s own growth factors

🧠 Mind-Body Support

  • Stress management, counselling, and scalp care routines

  • Advice on camouflage, hair styling, or trichology services

What to Expect

  • Some patients experience complete regrowth

  • Others go through cycles of shedding and regrowth

  • Outcomes vary—but early intervention improves results

Patience is key. So is hope.

Melasma: When Pigmentation Tells a Deeper Story

It starts as a faint patch. A shadow across your cheeks or forehead. But over time, it deepens—turning into a persistent patch of pigmentation that makeup barely hides.

This is melasma—a common yet complex skin condition that goes far beyond "just a tan."

At SkinWise Clinic, we believe your skin deserves not just correction, but care—with science, patience, and compassion.

What Is Melasma?

Melasma is a chronic skin condition marked by brown, tan, or gray-brown patches, typically on the face. It most commonly affects:

  • Cheeks

  • Forehead

  • Bridge of the nose

  • Upper lip

  • Chin

  • Occasionally, forearms or neck

It’s not dangerous—but it can cause significant emotional distress.

What Causes Melasma?

Melasma is a multifactorial pigment disorder, meaning several factors work together to trigger it:

  • ☀️ Sun exposure – UV radiation is the strongest trigger

  • 🤰 Hormonal changes – Pregnancy (chloasma), birth control pills, hormone therapy

  • 🧬 Genetics – Runs in families

  • 💊 Photosensitizing medications – Certain antibiotics, anti-epileptics

  • 🧴 Cosmetic irritation – Harsh products or treatments

  • 🔬 Underlying inflammation – Subclinical skin injury or free radical damage

Who Gets Melasma?

  • More common in women (especially during childbearing years)

  • Higher incidence in darker skin types (Fitzpatrick III–V)

  • Often triggered during pregnancy or after starting birth control pills

  • Common in tropical climates like India due to sun exposure

Is Melasma Curable?

Melasma isn’t "curable" in the traditional sense—but it is very treatable and can be beautifully managed. With the right plan, patients often see visible improvement in weeks to months.

Our Approach to Melasma at SkinWise Clinic

🌞 Sun Protection Is Non-Negotiable

  • Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen (even indoors)

  • Tinted sunscreens (iron oxide blocks visible light)

  • Hats and umbrellas for added protection

🧴 Topical Treatments

  • Hydroquinone (in short-term regimens)

  • Azelaic acid, kojic acid, arbutin, niacinamide

  • Retinoids for skin renewal (only under medical supervision)

✳️ Oral Supplements

  • Polypodium leucotomos, antioxidants, tranexamic acid (if indicated)

💡 Advanced Procedures

Performed with caution and only under expert guidance:

  • Chemical peels (mild glycolic, lactic, TCA)

  • Microneedling with tranexamic acid

  • Low-fluence Q-switched laser or Pico laser (for resistant melasma)

What to Expect

Melasma is a journey, not a quick fix. It takes consistency, sun discipline, and realistic expectations. Recurrence is common—but manageable.

With proper care, your skin can regain its clarity and even tone—safely, ethically, and effectively.

Skin Tags: Harmless, But Not Hopeless

ou’ve noticed a soft little bump on your neck, under your arm, or near your eyelid. It doesn’t hurt. It isn’t red. But it wasn’t there before—and now it’s growing. That’s likely a skin tag, a common and completely benign skin growth.

At SkinWise Clinic, we believe even small concerns deserve attention—because comfort and confidence are never “minor.”

What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags (medically known as acrochordons) are small, soft, skin-colored growths that hang off the skin. They’re non-cancerous, usually painless, and tend to appear in areas of friction—where skin rubs against skin or clothing.

Though harmless, they can feel cosmetically bothersome or get irritated by jewellery, shaving, or clothing.

Where Do Skin Tags Appear?

  • Neck

  • Underarms

  • Eyelids

  • Groin or under the breasts

  • Inner thighs

  • Along bra or waistlines

They can be as small as a pinhead or grow up to a few centimeters over time.

What Causes Skin Tags?

Skin tags are linked to friction, genetics, and metabolic changes. They tend to appear more frequently in:

  • People who are overweight or have skin folds

  • Those with diabetes or insulin resistance

  • Pregnant women, due to hormonal shifts

  • Individuals with a family history of skin tags

  • Those with HPV (human papillomavirus), in some cases

Are Skin Tags Dangerous?

No—skin tags are benign and not a sign of cancer. However, they can:

  • Get caught in chains or razors

  • Bleed or become inflamed if picked

  • Be mistaken for other growths (e.g., warts, moles)

That’s why professional evaluation is always wise—especially if the tag changes in color, size, or bleeds on its own.

How We Remove Skin Tags at SkinWise Clinic

Skin tag removal is safe, quick, and virtually painless when done professionally. Our methods include:

✂️ Radiofrequency Ablation

A precise and scar-minimizing method using heat energy—ideal for facial or visible areas.

❄️ Cryotherapy

Freezing the tag with liquid nitrogen, causing it to fall off naturally over days.

🔬 Snip Excision

Performed under local anaesthesia for larger or stalked tags.

🔥 Electrocautery

Seals and removes the tag using heat—efficient and effective.

Can They Come Back?

Removed skin tags don’t grow back—but new ones may form, especially in areas of friction. Maintaining a healthy weight and wearing non-restrictive clothing can help reduce recurrence.

Molluscum Contagiosum: The Bumps That Won’t Quit

magine a cluster of tiny, pearly bumps appearing out of nowhere—painless, but persistent. That’s the signature of molluscum contagiosum, a common viral skin infection that’s especially notorious in children but can affect adults too.

At SkinWise Clinic, we don’t just treat what’s visible. We care for the skin and the person underneath—because every bump has a backstory.

What Is Molluscum Contagiosum?

Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a poxvirus that infects the top layer of skin, leading to small, dome-shaped bumps with a central dimple. While it’s harmless and self-limiting, it can be cosmetically distressing and spread through contact.

Most people recover without scarring—but it can take months to years to clear if untreated.

What Does It Look Like?

  • Small, shiny, skin-coloured or pink bumps (2–5 mm)

  • Often with a central indentation

  • Can appear singly or in clusters

  • Found commonly on the face, torso, limbs, armpits, or groin

  • In adults, may affect the genital area through sexual transmission

Who Gets It?

  • Children: Most common group; spreads through skin contact or shared items.

  • Adults: Often sexually transmitted or from shaving infected areas.

  • Immunocompromised individuals: May develop extensive, stubborn lesions.

How Does It Spread?

  • Skin-to-skin contact (direct touch or sports)

  • Contaminated towels, razors, gym equipment, or clothing

  • Scratching or shaving over lesions, leading to autoinoculation

Is It Dangerous?

No—molluscum is benign. But it can spread rapidly and persist if untreated. Scratching can lead to secondary bacterial infections or scarring.

Treatment Options at SkinWise Clinic

Not all cases need treatment—but if the lesions are widespread, persistent, or cosmetically bothersome, we offer safe, effective solutions:

✳️ Cryotherapy

Freezing off the bumps with liquid nitrogen.

✳️ Curettage

Gently scraping out the core under local anaesthesia—quick and definitive.

✳️ Topical Treatments

Prescribed antiviral or immunomodulatory creams (e.g., imiquimod, tretinoin).

✳️ Radiofrequency Ablation or Electrocautery

For rapid removal with minimal downtime.

We also counsel you on hygiene, prevention, and skin barrier care to stop the cycle of reinfection.

When to See a Dermatologist:

  • If the bumps are spreading

  • If you’re unsure whether it’s molluscum

  • If itching, redness, or infection develops

  • If your child has eczema—it can worsen the spread

  • If you have a weakened immune system

Warts: Small Bumps, Big Frustrations

Warts may be small, but they can cause big concerns—especially when they spread, hurt, or just won’t go away.

At SkinWise Clinic, we believe your skin should feel like your own—not like a battleground for stubborn viral growths.

What Are Warts?

Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They’re incredibly common—and though usually harmless, they can be uncomfortable, unsightly, and contagious.

They often appear on hands, feet, face, or genitals—and come in different shapes and textures.

Types of Warts:

  • Common warts: Rough, raised bumps, often on fingers or hands.

  • Plantar warts: Found on soles of the feet, sometimes painful due to pressure.

  • Flat warts: Smooth, smaller lesions often seen on the face or legs.

  • Filiform warts: Thread-like projections, usually around the mouth, nose, or eyelids.

  • Genital warts: A sexually transmitted form requiring immediate medical attention.

How Do You Get Them?

Warts are caused by direct contact with HPV, which enters through tiny breaks in the skin. It may take weeks or months after exposure for a wart to appear.

You can catch or spread warts through:

  • Touching a wart (your own or someone else’s)

  • Sharing personal items like towels or razors

  • Walking barefoot in public showers or pools

  • Shaving over a wart, which spreads the virus

Can Warts Be Prevented?

Yes—good hygiene goes a long way:

  • Avoid touching or picking warts

  • Don’t share personal grooming tools

  • Use footwear in public areas

  • Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered

  • Wash hands regularly

Treatment Options at SkinWise Clinic

Some warts disappear on their own. But persistent, painful, or spreading warts often need medical treatment. At SkinWise, we offer evidence-based and skin-friendly options:

✅ Cryotherapy

Freezing with liquid nitrogen—a quick and effective outpatient treatment.

✅ Chemical Peels

Salicylic acid or trichloroacetic acid for safe, gradual exfoliation.

✅ Electrocautery or Radiofrequency Ablation

For resistant or recurrent warts with precision and minimal scarring.

✅ Laser Therapy

Advanced option for deeper or stubborn lesions.

✅ Immunotherapy

For extensive warts—we help your body fight the virus from within.

When to See a Dermatologist:

  • If warts hurt, spread, or bleed

  • If over-the-counter treatments fail

  • If you're unsure whether it’s really a wart

  • If you have diabetes, compromised immunity, or warts in sensitive areas

Atopic Dermatitis: When Sensitive Skin Speaks Loudly

We all experience dry skin from time to time. But when dryness turns into relentless itching, redness, and irritation—it may be something deeper. That’s where atopic dermatitis (AD) steps in.

What Is Atopic Dermatitis?

Atopic dermatitis is the most common form of eczema—a chronic skin condition marked by dry, inflamed, and extremely itchy skin. It usually starts in childhood but can persist into adulthood or appear later in life.

At SkinWise Clinic, we don’t just treat the surface. We listen to what your skin is trying to say—and guide you toward lasting comfort.

What Does It Look and Feel Like?

Common symptoms include:

  • Dry, scaly patches

  • Intense itching, often worse at night

  • Redness and swelling

  • Oozing or crusting (if scratched excessively)

  • Thickened or leathery skin (in long-standing cases)

It often appears on the cheeks, elbows, behind the knees, neck, and wrists, but it can occur anywhere on the body.

Why Does It Happen?

Atopic dermatitis is a result of a weakened skin barrier combined with an overactive immune response. It’s influenced by:

  • Genetics (especially if there’s a history of asthma or allergies)

  • Environmental irritants (soaps, detergents, dust)

  • Climate changes (dry or cold weather)

  • Stress

  • Food allergens (in some children)

Is It Contagious?

No—AD is not contagious. But it can deeply affect confidence, sleep, and quality of life. That’s why managing it with empathy and precision is key.

Our Treatment Approach at SkinWise Clinic

There’s no one-size-fits-all in dermatology. Your skin is unique—and so is your care plan.

🔹 Moisture Restoration

  • Prescription emollients and ceramide-rich moisturizers to repair the skin barrier.

🔹 Inflammation Control

  • Mild to moderate topical steroids

  • Calcineurin inhibitors for sensitive areas like the face

🔹 Anti-Itch Relief

  • Oral antihistamines when needed

  • Lifestyle and habit counselling to reduce scratching triggers

🔹 Long-Term Immunomodulation

  • For chronic or severe cases, we may use immunosuppressants or biologics.

🔹 Lifestyle Support

  • Education on gentle skincare, fragrance-free routines, and emotional wellbeing.

When to See a Dermatologist?

  • If your child scratches all night

  • If over-the-counter creams stop working

  • If eczema starts to ooze, crust, or get infected

  • If the condition is affecting your mental peace

We’re here for you. With science, sensitivity, and SkinWise insight.

Psoriasis: Understanding the Flare Beneath the Surface

Psoriasis is more than just dry skin. It’s a chronic autoimmune condition that affects millions worldwide—including many silently battling flare-ups, stigma, and discomfort. At SkinWise Clinic, we believe in going beyond skincare—to the root of the condition.

What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis causes the skin to produce new cells too quickly. These extra cells build up on the skin’s surface, forming thick, scaly patches that can be itchy, painful, and emotionally distressing. It’s not contagious—but it is lifelong.

Common Types:

  • Plaque Psoriasis – Most common; raised, red patches covered with silvery scales.

  • Scalp Psoriasis – Looks like dandruff but more stubborn and inflammatory.

  • Guttate Psoriasis – Small, drop-shaped spots often triggered by infections.

  • Inverse Psoriasis – Red, shiny lesions in body folds like underarms or groin.

  • Pustular Psoriasis – White pustules surrounded by red skin, more severe.

What Causes Psoriasis?

It’s a mix of genetics and immune system overactivity. While the exact cause isn’t fully known, several triggers can worsen it:

  • Stress

  • Skin injury

  • Cold weather

  • Infections (like strep throat)

  • Certain medications

  • Lifestyle factors like smoking or alcohol

Is There a Cure?

Psoriasis has no cure yet, but it can be effectively managed with the right treatment and guidance. The goal is to reduce inflammation, slow down skin cell production, and control flare-ups.

Treatment Options at SkinWise Clinic:

🩺 Topical Therapy – Steroid creams, vitamin D analogs, salicylic acid.
💊 Oral Medications – For moderate to severe cases.
🌫 Phototherapy (Light Therapy) – Safe and effective with proper dermatological supervision.
💉 Biologics – Targeted treatments that calm the immune system.
🧠 Lifestyle Coaching – Stress management, diet, and holistic support.

You Deserve to Feel Comfortable in Your Skin

Living with psoriasis isn’t easy—but you don’t have to do it alone. At SkinWise Clinic, we focus on personalized care, not just prescriptions. Every patient gets a treatment plan tailored to their skin type, condition severity, and lifestyle.

At SkinWise Clinic, Dr. Khushboo helps you ignore the noise and choose what’s safe, simple, and tailored to your skin — no experiments, no confusion.
