My name is Dr Sonali Kantak. I have been practising dermatology, trichology, cosmetology, venereology and leprology in Mumbai, India, since 2004, that is almost 13 years now.
After passing my MBBS exams with first class, I chose to learn dermatology from Topiwala National Medical College, Mumbai. I topped the Mumbai University for my MD exams, stood first at DDV exams conducted by the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Mumbai and also passed DNB exams held by the Diplomate of National Board, New Delhi.
I believe in holistic treatment for my patients which includes not only medicines but diet and lifestyle modification advice also. The medicines treat the present problem and the other skin and hair care tips help to prevent the diseases in the future.
A lot of times there is a crunch of time and the finer aspects of disease prevention are not adequately stressed upon during the consultation. The patients also tend to forget these small tit-bits of information as time goes by. Brushing up on these skin and hair care tips and easy accessibility to these tips always help.
I know these tips can benefit my patients as well as other people at large. Also over the years, I have come across patients who followed wrong advice that they got from people they know, or worse, from social networking sites/apps.
Hence I decided to start this blog where everyone can access safe and effective skin and hair care tips. I will try and post articles on a weekly basis. Unlike most other sources, the tips here are from a board-certified dermatologist. You can follow and share them without any doubt. This blog only provides tips and there will be no medical treatment available on this blog. So if you need tips, please visit the blog and if you need medical treatment, visit me.
Take care, be good.
