Dermatologists discuss skin diseases
Dehradun, October 27 At total of 160 delegates participated in the conference in which various skin diseases such as eczema, urticaria, vitiligo and psoriasis were discussed. While welcoming the delegates, Dr BS Judge, organising chairman of the conference, said the expertise of a doctor could play a big role in detecting a skin infection without having to resort to diagnostic tests. “A clinical dermatologist can save a patient from the stress of going through diagnostic tests only by a careful study of the condition of the patient’s skin,” said Judge. Later discussions were held on psoriasis, which is a common skin condition that causes redness and irritation. “Most people with psoriasis have thick, red skin with flaky, silver-white patches. It can be exacerbated due to improper food habits and lifestyle,” said Dr Tarun Mittal from Dehradun. The conference was packed with lecturers in which top doctors from the prestigious medical institutions discussed various aspects of important skin diseases. Postgraduate students from medical colleges of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand also presented research papers. A separate district dermatology session for presenting any interesting case would be held tomorrow.
