Expert dermatologist care for Psoriasis, Vitiligo, Eczema, Fungal Infections, Lichen Planus, Keratosis Pilaris, Hyperhidrosis & Skin Allergy in Pitampura, Delhi.
Skin conditions that are chronic, recurrent, or diagnostically uncertain require the structured clinical expertise of a qualified dermatologist — not a general physician and not a cosmetic clinic. At Medicutis, medical dermatology is the foundation of everything we do. Our dermatologists diagnose and manage the full spectrum of skin conditions with evidence-based, patient-centred protocols — addressing not just the visible skin symptoms but the underlying cause driving them.
Below are the medical skin conditions we treat most commonly at Medicutis. Each entry is designed to help patients understand their condition, what causes it, and how we approach its management — providing the context needed to make an informed decision about seeking care.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the skin to produce cells too fast — building up into thick, scaly, silvery plaques that can be itchy, uncomfortable, and visually distressing. It’s not contagious, it’s not caused by poor hygiene, and while there’s no cure — it can be very well controlled with the right treatment plan.
We treat:
Our approach:
Topical therapies for mild disease; systemic medications (methotrexate, cyclosporine, acitretin) for moderate-to-severe; phototherapy; biologic therapy referral for refractory cases. Long-term management plan designed to minimise flares.

Vitiligo causes patches of skin to lose their colour — the immune system attacks the cells that produce melanin. In Indian skin, the contrast between white patches and surrounding skin is highly visible and can significantly affect confidence. At Medicutis, we treat vitiligo as the medical condition it is — not just a cosmetic concern.
We treat:
Our approach:
Topical calcineurin inhibitors; potent topical steroids; narrowband UVB phototherapy (the most effective repigmentation treatment); systemic immunomodulators for active/spreading vitiligo. Stable patches can be camouflaged with medical micropigmentation (see Permanent Makeup page).

Eczema causes intensely itchy, red, dry, and sometimes weeping skin — driven by a skin barrier that doesn’t work properly and an immune system that overreacts. It’s chronic, but with the right management plan, flares become less frequent and less severe over time. Identifying your triggers is as important as treating the flares.
We treat:
Our approach:
Emollient-based barrier repair as a daily foundation; topical corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors for flares; allergen and irritant identification and avoidance; dupilumab (biologic therapy) for severe cases that don’t respond to topicals.

India’s warm, humid climate makes fungal skin infections extremely common — but extremely undertreated. Many patients use incorrect creams for months without improvement. Accurate diagnosis (a quick KOH test in-clinic) changes everything — because the right antifungal at the right dose for the right duration is what actually clears it.
We treat:
Our approach:
KOH microscopy for rapid in-clinic diagnosis; topical antifungals for localised infections; systemic antifungals (itraconazole, fluconazole, terbinafine) for nail infections or extensive/recurrent skin infections; hygiene and prevention guidance.

Lichen planus causes purple, intensely itchy, flat-topped bumps — often on the wrists, ankles, and lower back. It can also affect the mouth (oral lichen planus), nails, and scalp (lichen planopilaris — one of the causes of permanent hair loss). Early diagnosis matters, especially for scalp involvement, because scarring once it occurs cannot be reversed.
We treat:
Our approach:
Topical and intralesional corticosteroids; hydroxychloroquine for widespread or oral disease; systemic steroids for acute severe flares; phototherapy; scalp-specific treatments for lichen planopilaris to prevent irreversible hair loss.

Those tiny, rough, goosebump-like bumps on the back of your arms, thighs, or cheeks — that never seem to go away no matter how much you moisturise? That’s Keratosis Pilaris. It’s harmless, very common, and very treatable. Worsens in dry weather and with age. Most patients are surprised at how much better their skin can look with the right routine.
We treat:
Our approach:
Urea (10–20%), lactic acid, or salicylic acid-based exfoliants as the daily foundation; topical retinoids for persistent cases; clinical glycolic or lactic peels for accelerated improvement; laser for the associated redness.

If you’re sweating through shirts, avoiding handshakes, or planning your life around sweating — that’s hyperhidrosis, and it’s a medical condition, not a hygiene problem. It affects underarms, palms, feet, and face. It’s treatable — often dramatically so.
We treat:
Our approach:
Prescription aluminium chloride antiperspirant as first line; Botox injections into the underarms, palms, or soles (6–9 months of dramatic relief per session — one of the most satisfying treatments in dermatology); iontophoresis for palmar/plantar.

Skin allergies show up as hives, redness, swelling, or contact reactions — and identifying the specific trigger is what makes the difference between treating the same flare repeatedly and actually resolving the problem. Patch testing and specific IgE testing at Medicutis take the guesswork out of allergy management.
We treat:
Our approach:
Comprehensive allergy assessment including patch testing and specific IgE testing; allergen identification and avoidance guidance; antihistamines and topical steroids for acute reactions; immunomodulatory therapy for chronic urticaria.

General physicians manage common acute conditions well — but chronic, recurrent, or unclear skin conditions benefit significantly from specialist expertise. Conditions like psoriasis, lichen planus, and autoimmune disorders require systemic medications with specific monitoring. Many fungal infections and eczema cases are misdiagnosed by non-specialists and treated incorrectly for months. At Medicutis, we have dermoscopy, KOH microscopy, and patch testing in-clinic — diagnostic tools GPs don't have access to.
No — but highly manageable. Most patients achieve clear or near-clear skin with the right treatment plan. At Medicutis, we design long-term management that addresses both flares and maintenance. The goal is sustained clearance with the least medication burden possible.
Yes — especially with narrowband UVB phototherapy, which is the most effective evidence-based treatment for repigmentation. Active (spreading) vitiligo also needs systemic treatment to stop it spreading. Stable patches can be camouflaged with medical micropigmentation. At Medicutis, vitiligo is managed medically first — cosmetic camouflage is a complement, not a substitute.
Extraordinarily effective for axillary hyperhidrosis — one of the most dramatic results in dermatology. Botox injected into the underarms blocks sweat gland stimulation for 6–9 months. Most patients describe it as life-changing. Palms and feet can also be treated..
