Why your skin type matters
Doctors often describe skin using the Fitzpatrick scale, from type I, which always burns and never tans, to type VI, which rarely burns and tans deeply. Most people in India have types III to V. Darker skin types are more likely to develop post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, the dark marks that can follow acne, eczema, peels or lasers. Knowing your type helps the doctor choose safe peel strengths, laser settings and the gaps between sessions, and explains why a treatment that suits a friend may not be right for you.
The sun protection advice you will hear
Almost every skin plan includes sun protection, because ultraviolet and visible light worsen pigmentation, slow the fading of marks and age the skin. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, applied generously and reapplied about every two hours outdoors or after sweating. In Rajasthan's strong sun, shade, a hat and avoiding the hottest hours help too. For melasma, a tinted sunscreen containing iron oxides adds protection from visible light.
Online skin scanner or in-clinic consultation?
Our AI skin scanner is a free way to look at your skin and think about your concerns before a visit. It is not a diagnosis. Research has shown that skin-analysis apps can miss serious problems, including melanoma, so changing moles, unusual spots and rashes always need a doctor's examination. Use the scanner as a starting point, and bring its results to your consultation if you like.
After your consultation
You leave knowing what is likely to be causing your concern and what the options are. For some people the best advice is a simpler routine, stopping a product that is irritating the skin, or no treatment at all. Others start prescription creams, book a course of treatments or have a test first. If a clinic treatment is suggested, you hear how many sessions it usually takes, how far apart they are, what recovery to expect and the total cost, so you can decide without pressure. Follow-up visits check progress and adjust the plan.
