At Dr. Kiran Puttaramaiah’s Skin & Hair Transplant Clinic, we provide specialized and comprehensive care for a wide range of dermatological concerns, including skin infections, scalp disorders, nail infections, and psoriasis. These conditions can significantly affect not only your appearance but also your comfort and confidence, making timely diagnosis and treatment essential. Our clinic offers advanced diagnostic tools, evidence-based therapies, and personalized treatment plans to address each condition effectively and restore skin, hair, and nail health.

Skin Infections

Skin infections can be caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites, leading to redness, itching, pain, or visible lesions. Common bacterial infections include impetigo, folliculitis, and cellulitis, while fungal infections may present as ringworm, candidiasis, or athlete’s foot. Viral infections such as herpes simplex or warts, and parasitic conditions like scabies, also fall under this category.

At our clinic, treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis through dermatoscopic examination, skin scrapings, or culture tests. Depending on the cause, we may prescribe topical or oral antibiotics, antifungal creams, antiviral medications, or anti-parasitic agents. Additionally, we focus on prevention strategies, including hygiene measures and skin barrier protection, to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Scalp Infections and Disorders

Scalp conditions can cause itching, flaking, hair loss, or visible sores, often resulting from fungal infections (like tinea capitis), bacterial folliculitis, or inflammatory conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis. Left untreated, these problems may lead to hair thinning or scarring alopecia.

Our approach involves scalp examination, microbial testing, and blood work if necessary to identify underlying triggers. Treatments may include medicated shampoos, antifungal or antibacterial lotions, corticosteroid applications, and oral medications for severe cases. We also offer adjunctive therapies like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to stimulate healthy hair regrowth after infection-related shedding.

Nail Infections

Nail infections, particularly onychomycosis (fungal nail infection), can cause nail thickening, discoloration, brittleness, and discomfort. Bacterial infections and nail bed inflammation (paronychia) are also common, especially in individuals with frequent water exposure or underlying health conditions.

We provide targeted treatments such as oral and topical antifungal medications, antibacterial soaks, and laser nail therapy to eradicate the infection and restore nail appearance. Preventive advice, including nail care practices and protective measures, is also part of the treatment plan to avoid recurrence.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder characterized by red, scaly patches that can affect the skin, scalp, and nails. It can range from mild, localized lesions to extensive body coverage and may also be associated with psoriatic arthritis. While there is no cure, effective management can significantly improve quality of life.

At Dr. Kiran Puttaramaiah’s clinic, we customize psoriasis treatment based on its type, severity, and patient needs. Options include topical corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, coal tar preparations, phototherapy, oral systemic medications, and advanced biologic therapies for resistant cases. We also provide scalp-specific treatments and nail-focused care for psoriatic involvement.
