Dermatology so honest, it tells you what to stop — not just what to start.

Video consultations with MD dermatologists who focus on what your skin needs, not what they can sell you.

Finding a good Indian dermatologist is really, really hard.

Not because there aren’t good ones. Because from the outside you can’t tell who trained in skin, who will give you more than five minutes, and who is about to sell you something.

UpsellingHurriedFive-minute callsNo medical degree

Anyone can call themselves a dermatologist. Ours can prove it.

In India there is no rule about who may use the words, and a cosmetology certificate takes a few months. An MD in dermatology takes eight and a half years — before they ever meet you.

NRI skin consultations

Dermatology that understands where you live.

Indian skin has its own needs — and living abroad can change them. From climate and lifestyle to local regulations and the products available in your country, our dermatologists factor in the whole picture before prescribing.

Which of these is for your skin?

Understand which products you should use

Everything on that shelf works for somebody. A dermatologist who has seen your skin can tell you which of them is for you — and, just as usefully, which to put down.

Do I actually need this treatment?Can I stop the serum I'm on?Is this worth the money?

Questions we answer honestly

Including the ones where the answer costs us the sale.

And Cara, for everything between calls.

Cara is the DermaGurus AI assistant. Ask her about your routine any time — and what she can’t answer, she takes to the dermatologist who wrote it.

Ishita M.29 · Gurugram

Adult acne · Pigmentation

Honestly I'd kind of given up on dermatologists. went to two clinics and both just kept pushing peel packages. one quoted me 6 sessions, I won't even say the price. my DermaGurus call was different from the first minute. she asked when I sleep, I said like 1am most nights, and she goes 'that's already half your problem.' 3 months in, zero procedures, and my skin's the best it's been in years.

Rosacea

She told me straight up, first two months you won't really see anything, just don't give up. around week 7 I almost messaged her like 'this isn't working'… but she'd warned me so I waited it out. month 3 it just clicked.

Meera J.41 · Jaipur

Dull skin · Breakouts

I've had derm appointments shorter than the time I spent in the waiting room, no joke. this one went a full 30 mins and at the end she actually asked 'anything else bothering you?' I genuinely didn't know what to say.

Hormonal acne

ok so the first consult, I fully assumed it was a gimmick. went in ready to bail. but like 15 mins in I'm sitting there thinking wait… she's actually listening to me. paid for the next session before she even brought it up lol.

Rahul S.29 · Bengaluru

Hair fall

Bangalore traffic is genuinely why I hadn't seen a derm in 3 years. mine was in indiranagar, I'm in whitefield, 1.5 hrs each way for a 15 min appointment. I'd book and cancel last minute every single time. did my first DermaGurus call from the office cafeteria, haven't missed a follow-up since.

Acne scars

Went in expecting to be told I need laser. instead she goes 'you're 24, your skin will respond to topicals, come back in 4 months.' first time ever a doctor's talked me out of spending money tbh.

Postpartum sensitivity

My skin barrier was completely wrecked after pregnancy and I was scared to use anything strong while breastfeeding. she put together a gentle plan that's totally nursing-safe. finally, no guessing.

Pediatric eczema

my daughter's eczema flares up every winter. doing it over video meant she could just stay home and the doctor could actually see the patches on screen. plan sorted it in like 10 days.
