The diseases involving the skin and the mucous membrane come under the Department
of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology. The STDs and leprosy are the two other
major disorders. Various dermatological diseases manifest themselves in the form
of an emergency. Diseases like drug reactions, Steven Johnson’s syndrome, Toxic
Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) etc. require round the clock emergency care which is
provided by the Dept. of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology. Certain chronic
dermatological diseases have a profound psychological and social impact. We provide
the latest cosmetic service to the patients with the help of three different types
of lasers, derma abrader and an armory of chemical peels. Other services like PUVA
therapy, wood’s lamp examination, minor OT procedures (comedone extraction, milia
enucleation, electrocautery) are also available at the department. Department is
equipped with one seminar room, cum library, mini lab, faculty rooms, OPD chambers,
two general wards (one for male, other for female) and one minor OT for carrying
out day to day procedures and one laser room equipped with an AC.
