Sometimes we tend to ignore skin problems or skin issues believing it will go away with time, however, it is always advisable to consult a skin specialist who can guide you about the treatments available for particular skin diseases.
Its important is to diagnose the underlying cause of the prevailing skin condition because many times skin problems occur due to another chronic disease. Dr.Jyoti has vast knowledge in the field of skin disease gained from her experience from one of the largest hospital in asia .i.e. Safdarjung hospital, New Delhi. She had successfully treated almost 100 patients on daily basis in this hospital for many years and has been using this knowledge and updating herself to treat her patients in the best possible way.

Skin Allergies
A skin allergy is an allergic reaction to a typically harmless substance, such as wool, pollen, soap, or plants. The immune system reacts to this foreign substance and attacks it to remove it from the body. When your body interacts with a trigger, the result is an allergic skin rash.
Skin Allergies refer to several allergic conditions, such as eczema, contact dermatitis, and hives, and cause red, itchy skin. A skin rash is the primary symptom of an allergic skin reaction. The rash may start as an itching sensation, a raised bump, or redness etc
Skin allergies are treated by avoiding allergens when possible, taking preventive medicine such as antihistamines, and managing symptoms as they arise.
Auto-Immune disorders
The body reacts in a variety of ways to autoimmune disorders, which cause a person’s immune system to attack its own tissues. Depending on the condition, an autoimmune disorder can affect a variety of organs, joints, and muscles, or other bodily tissues. One issue that’s commonly affected by autoimmune disorders is the skin. There are many different types of skin-related autoimmune disorders, including scleroderma, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis.
In response to an unknown trigger, the immune system may begin producing antibodies that instead of fighting infections, attack the body's own tissues. Treatment for autoimmune diseases generally focuses on reducing immune system activity. Dr.Jyoti believes in concept of both inner healing and external medications providing better rate of cure than usual rates by just medication.
