Dr. Karma Patel (M.D. Dermatology) Online Dermatologist Doctor

Introduction

Hello friends, It gives me immense pleasure to have this opportunity to introduce myself. Hello all, I am Dr. Karma Patel. I'm a dermatologist by profession, having experience in diagnosing, treating, and preventing a wide range of skin and hair conditions online. In other words, I am your trusted online dermatologist doctor with good communication skills and always committed to providing good care to my patients. Currently, I practice dermatology in Himatnagar, a district headquarters located in the northern part of Gujarat. Dermatology has been my passion since I entered the field of medicine, with a special focus on tele-dermatology.

At present, we run 9 tele-dermatology clinics across various cities in Gujarat and Rajasthan. To date, we have successfully consulted over 25,000 patients online, including those with online acne treatment (on the face and other areas), hair loss treatment and related disorders, chronic conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, urticaria, melasma, scabies, fungal infections, and many other skin diseases. As a dermatologist, I also specialize in the treatment of ringworm and can be considered a ringworm specialist. Whether you need acne treatment from a dermatologist or an online skin doctor appointment for hair and skin issues, you are at the right place.

We offer convenient online dermatologist consultations through photographs and even provide medicine courier services. In simple terms, we act as your “skin specialist near me” and “dermatologist near you,” making expert skin and hair care easily accessible from the comfort of your home.

My Journey of Residency in Dermatovenerology - MBBS to MD

Having completed my medical studies in India, I decided to move abroad for further education, and that is where my journey in dermatology began. I pursued a 2-year residency program in Dermatology in Moscow, Russia. During my residency, I actively participated in several CME programs held not only in Moscow but also across various cities in Russia. I attended multiple seminars and conferences, which proved to be highly beneficial for my professional growth. These events provided me with opportunities to meet and share the stage with some of the finest dermatologists and trichologists from around the world, exchange ideas, and share knowledge. They also allowed me to hone my practical skills by performing a wide range of dermatological and cosmetic procedures.

During residency, I had the privilege of working at some of the finest government hospitals, thanks to my professor and the Department of Dermatology for giving me such opportunities. We encountered patients with both common and rare skin and hair conditions, including acne (on the face and other body areas), hyperpigmented spots such as freckles and melasma, chronic conditions like eczema and psoriasis, vitiligo, urticaria, irritant and allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, bacterial infections, viral infections such as herpes zoster and herpes simplex, and fungal infections like tinea cruris and tinea corporis. We also treated hair loss conditions such as male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, nevi, skin carcinomas, and many others. After completing my residency, I also pursued a 6-month diploma program in cosmetology.

It was during this period that the idea of consulting patients with skin or hair concerns online first came to me. For most skin and hair conditions, a dermatologist does not need to physically touch the patient for diagnosis, as a visual examination using photographs or videos is sufficient. To test this concept, my colleagues and I began consulting a considerable number of patients online through various video calling platforms on different devices, and it was met with excellent patient acceptance.

After completing my residency and returning to India with a passion for online consultations, I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Ruchir Shah, a dermatologist already practicing tele-dermatology - the first of its kind in the region - in Himatnagar. Later, I joined hands with him to form a team, and today, we consult not less than 70–80 patients online every day. For anyone looking for a trusted near me dermatologist doctor, we strive to make expert dermatology care accessible from the comfort of your home.

About the Advantages of Consulting Online

Consulting online has its own list of advantages, especially in countries like India, where people living in remote areas find it hard to consult a skin specialist due to their unavailability in such areas. Thanks to technology and the availability of the internet, it has made it easier to consult a skin specialist for any of your skin or hair concerns online. You can consult a dermatologist or a skin specialist from wherever you are. It saves your time and money as you do not need to travel the distance to reach out to your skin specialist/ dermatologist. Online consultation plays an important role in the lives of people living in remote areas, as that provides them with an equal right to consult a dermatologist, which would not have been possible without it. It is not only beneficial for the people living in remote areas but also for anyone from around the world.

At present, our setup in Himatnagar serves as a headquarters as we operate all our tele-dermatology clinics across the cities in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan just from here. We are in the 7th year of running it successfully. We have a staff of over 30 members working day in day out across the clinics. We are currently working with the USFDA-approved criteria for tele-dermatology. What all a setup on a doctor's side or on our side needs is a high definition screen, a high resolution video conferencing camera, and a microphone speaker. On the patient side also apart from the things that are mentioned above, you need an examination couch and a high-resolution examination camera. Upon the submission of the patient’s photographs of affected areas by an attender we dermatologist, examine, diagnose, and counsel the patient regarding their skin condition and prescribe the medicines. Prescribed medicines are also available at a pharmacy located at our setup at affordable prices. So, that way, you can consult with us online by visiting our tele-dermatology clinic in your nearest city.

How to Consult with Me for an Online Skin Consultation

If you are wondering how to consult a dermatologist online or looking for acne treatment, ringworm specialist, trichologist, or any other online dermatologist services, let me explain the simple process we follow at neodermatologist.com.

We provide two types of consultation services:

➤ Photographic Consultation

Visit neodermatologist.com and choose the service that fits your needs –

1. Acne Treatment

2. Hair Loss Treatment

3. General Dermatology Consultation

4. Inner Part Itching / Fungal Infection Treatment

➤ After selecting the required service, you’ll choose either Photographic Consultation or Video Consultation.

➤ For photographic consultation, you will be asked to fill out a medical history form so we can better understand your concern.

➤ Then, upload clear photographs of the affected areas – face, scalp, hands, legs, abdomen, back, inner parts, or buttocks – as per the photographic guidelines available on our website.

➤ Once you confirm your appointment, our medical officer will call you, discuss your problem in detail, and counsel you. They will share your case details with me, and I will prescribe the right medicines after reviewing your photographs and medical history.

Note: Since diagnosis in basic consultation is primarily made through your photographs, please follow the photo guidelines carefully for accurate treatment.

➤ Video Consultation

If you prefer real-time interaction, you can opt for a video consultation. In this service, I personally connect with you via video call, take a detailed history, visually examine the affected areas, and prescribe the necessary medications.
