Dermatology & Venereology at UMC Hospitals
UMC Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, delivers comprehensive care for skin, hair, nail, and sexually transmitted infections through a consultant-led program that integrates precise diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, and discreet counseling in a privacy‑first environment. Our team of dermatologist in Navi Mumbai at UMC Hospitals bring along years of experience to understand each condition and treat it effectively.
Conditions We Treat
-
Skin concerns
Acne along the cheeks and chin, rosacea with central facial redness, eczema that flares in winter, psoriasis with silvery scales over elbows or lower back, urticaria presenting as fleeting itchy wheals, and vitiligo patches often noticed around lips or fingertips. Fungal infections, especially in the groin folds or under the breast, are very common in humid climates.
-
Hair and scalp
Hair fall is one of the most frequent complaints. Sometimes it’s androgenetic alopecia with thinning at the vertex, sometimes diffuse shedding after illness or childbirth. Dandruff, medically seborrheic dermatitis, often sits along the scalp margins and behind the ears.
-
Nail issues
Thickened yellow nails from fungal infections, painful ingrown toenails, or subtle pigment streaks that occasionally need closer evaluation.
-
Pediatric dermatology
Children come in with atopic dermatitis, viral warts on fingers, molluscum lesions over the trunk, or birthmarks that parents are unsure about. Examination here is gentler, often observational.
-
Venereology (STI care)
Patients may present with genital ulcers, discharge, warts, or sometimes no symptoms but a concern after exposure. These consultations are handled with privacy and clarity, without judgment.
Diagnostics
Not every skin condition needs extensive testing, but when required, investigations are quite targeted.
-
Dermatoscopy helps differentiate a benign mole from something that needs biopsy.
-
Skin, nail, and scalp sampling
KOH mount, cultures, trichoscopy, Wood’s lamp evaluation, and biopsy for histopathology.
-
Patch testing for contact allergies and structured photo-documentation for treatment tracking.
-
STI testing is guided by symptoms and risk, always done confidentially.
Treatments and Procedures
-
Medical management
Individualized topical and oral therapies, combination treatment plans for complex skin conditions, and biologic therapy pathways where clinically appropriate.
-
Injection-based treatments
Intralesional corticosteroids for conditions such as keloids and alopecia areata, along with targeted microinjections for scars and select dermatoses.
-
Lesion removal procedures
Cryotherapy and electrocautery/radiofrequency techniques for warts, skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, and other benign growths.
-
Dermatologic surgery
Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures including punch and excisional biopsies, cyst and benign tumor excision, as well as nail surgeries like avulsion and matrix correction.
-
Skin resurfacing therapies
Clinically guided chemical peels and microdermabrasion for acne, pigmentation concerns, and improvement in skin texture.
-
Phototherapy
Structured treatment protocols for conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, and resistant eczema, delivered when indicated.
Specialized Services
-
Venereology Services
Consultations are discreet. Patients are counselled about transmission, treatment, and partner management. Vaccination discussions, for HPV or hepatitis B, are often part of the visit.
-
Scar and Pigment Care
Acne scars, especially over the cheeks, are managed through staged approaches, sometimes combining peels, micro-needling, or injections. Pigmentation disorders like melasma require long-term maintenance; stopping treatment abruptly often leads to relapse.
-
Pediatric Dermatology
Children’s skin behaves differently. Treatments are gentler, and instructions are simplified for parents on how much cream to apply, where exactly, and how often.
The Care Journey
Most consultations begin with a detailed history, including when the rash started, what makes it worse, and what has already been tried. Examination follows, sometimes with dermatoscopy. Tests are ordered only if they add value. Treatment is introduced gradually, reviewed over 2–4 weeks, and adjusted as needed. Carry prior reports, skincare products, and share medication or allergy details. Avoid makeup as much as possible.
