Skin problems: mostly curable, mostly mistreated
Dr Bakshi Clinic treats common skin diseases in Bhopal at physician level — fungal infections, allergic rashes, eczema, itching, boils and bacterial infections — with cosmetic and complex dermatology referred out honestly. Most of what walks in has already been made worse by the wrong cream, and fixing that is half the treatment.
The steroid-cream epidemic, named plainly
Here is what an evening OPD actually sees: a fungal infection in the groin or waistline, treated for six months with a cream bought at a medical store on a shopkeeper's advice. The cream contained a strong steroid mixed with an antifungal — the infamous combination creams — and the steroid fed the fungus while briefly calming the itch. The rash is now larger, angrier, and half-resistant.
This pattern is so common that dermatology journals write about India's combination-cream crisis. The fix is unglamorous: stop the wrong cream, use the right antifungal correctly and long enough, treat close contacts and clothing habits, and check for the diabetes that often sits underneath recurring infections.
That last step — the physician step — is exactly what a cream counter can never do.
Steroid-mixed OTC creams (clobetasol, betamethasone) suppress inflammation temporarily while suppressing local immunity, allowing fungus to proliferate and resist standard topicals.
1) Cease steroid creams, 2) Targeted systemic/topical antifungal course, 3) Clothing disinfection & contact treatment, 4) Blood sugar (HbA1c) screening.
What we treat
Evidence-based diagnosis and individualized care plans for common dermatological conditions:
Fungal Infections & Ringworm
Tinea cruris (groin), tinea corporis (body), athlete's foot, and fungal nail infections treated through complete, culture-directed courses rather than stopping at the first sign of relief.
Bacterial Infections & Boils
Furuncles, carbuncles, abscesses, infected wounds, and spreading cellulitis requiring targeted oral antibiotics and sterile minor clinical drainage.
Allergic Hives & Urticaria
Acute and chronic urticaria workups, trigger identification (food, dust, seasonal), and stepwise antihistamine regimens to prevent sudden relapses.
Eczema & Contact Dermatitis
Managing irritable skin barriers, housewives' detergent-induced hand dermatitis, atopic eczema, and severe winter xerosis with tailored barrier repair.
Generalized Itching (Pruritus)
Diagnosing persistent itching without visible rash — ruling out environmental dryness, cholestatic liver congestion, renal uremia, or thyroid dysfunction.
Household Scabies Eradication
Diagnosed frankly and treated with synchronized whole-household permethrin protocols, linen boiling, and post-scabetic itch management.
Adverse Drug Reactions
Rapid clinical triage of rashes emerging after new medications — distinguishing benign fixed-drug eruptions from serious systemic reactions.
Skin as the body's notice board
Some skin complaints are the first line of a bigger story. Recurring fungal infections whisper about sugar. Generalised itching sometimes speaks for the liver or kidneys. Dry, thickened skin can be thyroid.
Slow-healing sores on the feet — see our diabetes care page, urgently, if you're diabetic.
This is why a physician-led skin consultation earns its place: the rash gets treated, and the body behind it gets read.
Underlying hyperglycemia (Diabetes / Pre-diabetes).
Biliary stasis, kidney uremia, or iron deficiency.
Uncontrolled hypothyroidism (elevated TSH).
Diabetic neuropathy & micro-vascular compromise.
What we refer, without hesitation
Cosmetic dermatology, acne needing specialised regimens, psoriasis beyond mild, suspicious moles and growths, hair-loss workups, and anything needing biopsy or procedures — these go to a dermatologist, with your treatment history documented so you don't restart from zero.
The everyday infections and allergies that make up most skin suffering, though, are treated right here, in the evening, at family-practice fees.
- Fungal infections, ringworm, and tinea cruris.
- Allergic rashes, acute urticaria, and eczema.
- Boils, abscesses, scabies, and systemic pruritus.
- Cosmetic lasers, chemical peels, and aesthetics.
- Severe cystic acne and moderate-to-severe psoriasis.
- Changing moles, suspicious lesions, and skin biopsies.
Frequently asked questions
Doctor-curated answers regarding recurring fungal infections, combination cream risks, paediatric skin care, generalized itching, and dermatologist referrals.
Usually one of four reasons: treatment stopped at first relief instead of full course, a steroid-combination cream made it resistant, household contacts or clothing keep reinfecting, or undiagnosed diabetes is feeding it. We address all four — that's why it finally clears.
