PATIENT QUESTIONS
The right dermatologist is a qualified skin specialist who diagnoses the cause before recommending treatment, sets realistic expectations and avoids pushing unnecessary procedures. Check qualifications such as an MD or DNB in dermatology. Lotus lists its dermatologists on this page with their qualifications and experience, and you can book with them online.
Book online by choosing a dermatologist on this page and selecting a slot. You can also send a WhatsApp message with your name, contact number and preferred day, or call +91 80505 98999. Mention the concern, such as acne, a rash, hair loss or a changing mole, so the visit is planned correctly.
The consultation fee at Lotus is ₹700. You pay at the hospital; no online payment is needed when you book online. Procedures, peels, laser sessions, patch tests and biopsies are charged separately. If a course of procedures is suggested, ask for the total number of sessions and the full cost before starting.
Lotus works with many health insurers and TPAs, but most policies cover medically necessary treatment and exclude cosmetic procedures. Outpatient consultations may or may not be covered depending on your plan. Share your policy details with the care team and confirm with your insurer before any procedure.
Timings depend on each dermatologist’s schedule, and available slots are shown when you book online. Schedules can change, so confirm your appointment with the care team on +91 80505 98999. If a procedure is planned, ask how long to allow for it and any preparation needed.
Bring the creams, lotions, supplements and medicines you have used, including over-the-counter and home remedies, plus previous prescriptions and reports. Photos of a rash when it was at its worst can help if it comes and goes. Avoid make-up on the affected area and note any triggers you have noticed.
The dermatology team assesses acne and acne scarring, eczema, skin allergies and hives, psoriasis, fungal and bacterial infections, pigmentation, hair loss, nail problems and changing moles or skin growths. After diagnosis, the dermatologist explains medical treatment, skin-care routines and whether any procedure is appropriate.
Seek emergency care immediately for a rash with swelling of the lips, tongue or face, or difficulty breathing; widespread blistering or skin peeling, especially after a new medicine; a rapidly spreading red, hot, painful area with fever; or a non-fading purple rash with illness. Call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Yes, you can book a dermatology consultation for a second opinion, for example when a skin problem keeps returning, a treatment has not worked, or a procedure has been recommended. Bring previous prescriptions, the products you have used and any biopsy reports, so the dermatologist can review what has been tried.
Ask the care team when you book, and they can tell you which languages your chosen dermatologist is comfortable consulting in. You may bring someone to help explain your history, and you can ask the doctor to write down how and when to apply each cream or take each medicine.

IN-DEPTH GUIDE
Dermatology assesses conditions of the skin, hair, nails and visible mucosal surfaces. Because different disorders can look similar, treatment should follow a clinical diagnosis rather than a photograph, social-media trend or repeated over-the-counter trial. The plan also needs to consider skin type, pregnancy, other medicines and the effect on confidence and daily life.
Dermatology consultations commonly address acne, eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, fungal infection, hair loss, scalp disease, nail change, pigmentation and new or changing skin lesions. The distribution, duration, itch or pain, triggers, medicines, product use and previous treatment help narrow the possibilities.
Bring photographs showing how an intermittent rash evolved. Avoid applying a new cosmetic or steroid combination immediately before the appointment when it is safe to wait, as this can change the appearance and complicate diagnosis.
Acne can involve blocked pores, inflammation, pigmentation and scarring. Severity, distribution, menstrual pattern, pregnancy possibility, current products and previous treatments shape the plan. Picking and harsh scrubbing can worsen inflammation and marks.
Many acne treatments need consistent use for weeks before benefit is clear. The clinician should explain irritation management, sun protection, pregnancy-related restrictions, what can be combined and when to review. Scar procedures are usually considered after active acne is controlled.
Not every itchy rash is an allergy. Irritant dermatitis, eczema, infection, urticaria, medicine reactions and other inflammatory diseases can overlap in appearance. Timing, location, exposure and duration are important.
Moisturiser selection, trigger reduction and correct use of prescribed anti-inflammatory treatment are central to many eczema plans. Patch testing or other investigations are useful only in selected cases. Food restriction without a clear indication can create nutritional problems, especially in children.
Hair shedding, patterned thinning, patchy loss, breakage and scarring hair disorders have different causes and treatment. The clinician may ask about recent illness, childbirth, weight change, diet, medicines, periods, family history and scalp symptoms.
Laboratory tests are selected from the history rather than ordered as an unlimited panel. Early assessment is particularly important when the scalp is painful, inflamed or scarred, or when hair loss is rapid and patchy.
Peels, lasers, injectables and other procedures have indications, limitations and risks, including pigment change and scarring. Suitability varies with skin type, medical history, active infection, medicines and expectations.
Ask who performs the procedure, their training, the exact product or device, alternatives, downtime, aftercare, total cost and management of complications. Before-and-after photographs are not a guarantee of an individual result.
Rapidly spreading blistering or peeling skin, a rash with breathing difficulty or facial swelling, severe medicine reaction, painful skin with fever, rapidly progressive infection, or eye and mouth involvement can require urgent care. A new or changing pigmented lesion also deserves clinical assessment, although most lesions are not dangerous.
Do not delay emergency evaluation while waiting for an online dermatology slot. Photograph changes only when doing so does not postpone care.
Medical information is general and does not replace an individual consultation.
