In brief — for a quick understanding
Dermatology treats conditions of the skin, hair and nails — both medical conditions like psoriasis, vitiligo and acne, and procedures such as laser therapy and skin-cancer surgery. Most care is outpatient. India offers experienced dermatologists and modern laser technology at highly competitive prices (purely cosmetic skin procedures like Botox and fillers are covered in our Cosmetic guide).
Overview & who it's for
Skin conditions are very common and range from chronic diseases like psoriasis and vitiligo to acne and skin cancers. Many are managed medically with creams, medicines and light/laser therapies.
Dermatologists also perform procedures — including laser treatments and surgery to remove skin cancers. India's dermatology centres offer modern technology and experienced specialists at low cost.
You may be a candidate if you have:
- Chronic skin conditions like psoriasis or vitiligo
- Persistent or severe acne
- Skin lesions or suspected skin cancer
- Those seeking laser skin therapy
- Patients wanting a specialist skin opinion
