Public Health Alert from a Dermatologist ⚠️

Say NO to Quacks – Your Skin Deserves Qualified Care!

Dermatitis is a common but serious skin condition that needs proper diagnosis and treatment by a qualified dermatologist. Recently, we have seen alarming cases where patients visited unqualified practitioners (quacks) and were given inappropriate or harmful treatments. This has led to severe complications, including skin infections, irreversible pigmentation, and even blackening of the skin, particularly on the legs.

🚫 Quacks often use: • Steroids without guidance, which thin the skin and cause long-term damage. • Homemade or untested mixtures, which can trigger allergic reactions or worsen infections. • Misdiagnosis, leading to dangerous delays in real treatment.

• Protect Yourself:
• Always consult an MBBS doctor or certified dermatologist (MD/DNB/Diploma in Dermatology) for skin problems.
• Check their credentials and clinic registration.
• Report suspicious medical practices to local health authorities.

⚕️ Your skin is the largest organ of your body. Don’t trust it with untrained hands. Early and proper treatment can prevent complications and help you heal faster and safer.

Stay informed. Stay safe. Choose qualified care.
