Dermatology & Venereology

The Dermatology & Venereology Department delivers comprehensive skin, hair and nail care while equipping students with surgical finesse and public-health acumen. Daily triage sorts psoriasis flares, pemphigus, leprosy neuropathy and STI presentations into specialist lanes, letting learners correlate morphology with microbiology and histopathology. Procedure rooms house fractional CO₂ lasers, radio-frequency ablation and trichoscopy units, ensuring proficiency in both aesthetic and therapeutic dermatology.

Academic weeks cycle through leprosy camps, rural awareness drives and cosmetic-dermatology symposiums. Faculty emphasise Bihar-specific challenges: chronic fungal infections in humid belts, arsenicosis-related keratoses and STI counselling that respects cultural nuance. Resident-led studies track antibiotic resistance in pyoderma and genetic loci in vitiligo, yielding SCI-indexed papers and podium talks. By rotation’s end, students command dermatoscopic pattern recognition, laser safety and syndromic STI management, positioning the department as a state referral hub for complex cutaneous disease.
