Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to sudden hair loss in small, round patches, commonly on the scalp, beard, or eyebrows. It can affect people of all ages and genders. The exact cause remains unknown, though genetics, stress, and environmental factors are believed to play a role. In many cases, the condition may improve on its own, but medical treatments can significantly enhance hair regrowth. At our clinic, we offer advanced therapies such as corticosteroid injections, topical immunotherapy, and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy.
Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches that commonly appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. It occurs when the immune system triggers the rapid production of skin cells, leading to thickened, inflamed skin. Psoriasis can be triggered by stress, infections, injuries, and certain medications. Although there is no cure, various treatments help manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups. These include topical creams, phototherapy, and systemic medications depending on severity. At Dr. Nilofer Skin, Hair and General Clinic, we offer personalized psoriasis management plans aimed at improving skin health and enhancing quality of life through evidence-based therapies and lifestyle modifications.
Fungal Infections
Fungal infections of the skin are caused by different types of fungi and can affect various parts of the body including the scalp, feet, groin, and nails. Common fungal infections include ringworm, athlete’s foot, and candidiasis. These infections often present with redness, itching, scaling, and in some cases, discharge or skin breakdown. Warm, moist environments and poor hygiene can increase susceptibility. Early diagnosis and appropriate antifungal treatment are crucial for effective management. At our clinic, we provide accurate diagnosis, effective topical or oral antifungal medications, and guidance on hygiene practices to prevent recurrence.
Eczema Care
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and irritated skin. It commonly affects children but can persist or even begin in adulthood. Triggers include allergens, stress, weather changes, and irritants like soaps and detergents. Managing eczema involves identifying and avoiding triggers, maintaining skin hydration, and using prescribed medications such as topical steroids or immunomodulators. At Dr. Nilofer’s clinic, we offer comprehensive eczema care, including diagnosis, trigger identification, and long-term management strategies to reduce flare-ups and improve skin comfort.
Vitiligo Management
Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes), resulting in white patches on different parts of the body. It can also affect hair and the inside of the mouth. Vitiligo is not contagious but is believed to be an autoimmune disorder. While it does not cause physical discomfort, it can impact emotional well-being. Treatments include topical therapies, light-based therapies, and sometimes surgical options. At our clinic, we focus on early diagnosis, customized treatment plans, and counseling to support patients emotionally and physically in their journey with vitiligo.
Alopecia Areata
Urticaria Relief
Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a skin reaction that causes red, itchy welts, which may appear suddenly and last for a few hours or days. It can be triggered by allergens, stress, temperature changes, or underlying health conditions. Chronic urticaria can significantly affect quality of life. Diagnosis involves identifying the underlying cause, and treatment includes antihistamines, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, immunosuppressants. At Dr. Nilofer’s clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and managing acute and chronic urticaria with personalized care and long-term relief strategies.
Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating, commonly affecting the palms, soles, underarms, and face. It may be localized or generalized and can interfere with daily activities and cause social embarrassment. The condition may be idiopathic or linked to other health issues like thyroid disease or diabetes. Treatments include antiperspirants, oral medications, botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, and sometimes surgery. At our clinic, we assess the severity and underlying causes of hyperhidrosis to recommend effective and personalized treatment options for lasting results. We aim to not only reduce excessive sweating but also improve quality of life by restoring comfort and self-confidence in our patients.
Keloid Removal
Keloids are thick, raised scars that form due to an overproduction of collagen during the healing process. Unlike regular scars, keloids extend beyond the original wound and can result from acne, burns, piercings, or surgical procedures. They are often itchy, uncomfortable, and cosmetically distressing, especially in individuals with darker skin tones who are more prone to developing them. Keloids can grow progressively larger and become a source of emotional and physical discomfort. At Dr. Nilofer Skin, Hair and General Clinic, we provide personalized and evidence-based treatments such as corticosteroid injections, silicone sheets, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and surgical excision.
STD Treatment
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are infections transmitted through sexual contact, caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and HIV. Symptoms can range from sores, unusual discharge, and pain during urination to being completely asymptomatic. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to prevent complications and transmission. At our clinic, we provide confidential STD screening, counseling, and evidence-based treatments in a non-judgmental environment to ensure your health and privacy are protected. We also emphasize education, safe practices, and regular follow-ups for complete care.
