What to Expect
Your dermatology consultation at Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic begins with a private, judgement-free conversation about your skin, hair, or nail concerns. Our dermatologist will examine the affected area carefully — sometimes using a dermatoscope or Wood's lamp for a closer look at pigmentation, fungal infections, or hair conditions. You'll be asked about your medical history, family history, lifestyle, skincare products, and any previous treatments. Depending on your condition, additional tests like skin scraping (for fungus), patch testing (for allergies), or biopsy may be recommended. You'll leave with a clear diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan, prescriptions if needed, and honest guidance on what results to expect — and how long they'll take.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chhala Rog (छाला रोग) is the common Nepali term for skin diseases — including acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, allergies, pigmentation, and hair or nail conditions. You should see a dermatologist if you have persistent skin problems lasting more than 2–4 weeks, sudden rashes, severe acne, unexplained hair fall, recurring fungal infections, dark patches on the face, or any unusual moles or growths. Home remedies and over-the-counter products often make conditions worse. At Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic in Kathmandu, our NMC-registered dermatologist provides accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment for all Chhala Rog conditions.
Acne treatment depends on its severity — mild acne is treated with topical creams (retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics), moderate acne may require oral antibiotics or hormonal medications, and severe cystic acne sometimes needs oral isotretinoin under strict medical supervision. Most patients begin to see visible improvement in 4–8 weeks, with full results in 3–6 months. At Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic, our dermatologist designs personalized acne treatment plans suited to Nepali skin types, lifestyle, and budget. We also help prevent acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which are common in Nepali skin tones.
Melasma is caused by overactive pigment-producing cells (melanocytes), triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control pills), genetics, heat, and certain medications. Nepal's high-altitude UV exposure makes melasma especially common among women. Melasma cannot be cured permanently — it's a chronic condition that can return — but it can be effectively controlled and faded with the right treatment. Our dermatologist at Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic offers safe, evidence-based melasma management for Nepali skin types, combining topical treatments, oral medications when needed, and strict daily sunscreen use to prevent recurrence.
Hair fall has many possible causes — including male and female pattern baldness, nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, B12), thyroid problems, stress, post-pregnancy hormonal changes, scalp infections, fungal infections (dandruff), and autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata. Losing up to 100 hairs per day is normal — but persistent or excessive hair fall lasting more than 3 months needs evaluation. Treatments depend on the cause and may include topical minoxidil, oral medications, nutritional supplements, treating underlying scalp conditions, or in advanced cases, hair restoration procedures. Visit Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic for proper hair-loss diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.
Dandruff is caused by an overgrowth of a yeast called Malassezia on an oily scalp, producing white or yellow flakes, itching, and oily skin patches. A dry scalp, on the other hand, is caused by lack of moisture — producing smaller, drier flakes with overall dryness on the body too. Dandruff needs antifungal shampoos containing ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide. Dry scalp benefits from gentle, moisturizing shampoos and scalp oils. If your dandruff is severe, persistent, accompanied by redness, or doesn't respond to over-the-counter shampoos, book a consultation at Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic — it may be seborrheic dermatitis or scalp psoriasis requiring prescription treatment.
Yes, fungal infections (dermatophytosis) are extremely common in Nepal — affecting over 11% of the population in some studies, making them the most common skin condition. Nepal's warm, humid climate, dust, and sharing of personal items contribute to their spread. Common types include ringworm (round, itchy patches), athlete's foot (between toes), jock itch (groin area), pityriasis versicolor (white or brown patches on chest/back), and nail fungus. Treatment includes prescription antifungal creams, oral antifungal medication for stubborn or widespread infections, hygiene improvements, and treating contacts and contaminated clothing. Self-medication and steroid creams often worsen fungal infections. Visit Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic for proper antifungal treatment.
Both eczema and psoriasis cause red, itchy, inflamed skin, but they're different conditions. Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is an allergic-type condition causing dry, intensely itchy patches commonly on hands, face, elbows, and behind the knees — often starting in childhood and triggered by allergens, soaps, or weather. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease causing thick, red patches with silvery-white scales — typically on elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back — and it can be linked to joint pain (psoriatic arthritis). Treatment differs significantly between the two. Accurate diagnosis at Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic ensures you get the right treatment for your specific condition.
Most over-the-counter skin-whitening and fairness creams are NOT safe — many contain harmful ingredients like high-dose steroids, mercury, hydroquinone (in unsafe concentrations), or unlisted chemicals that cause permanent skin damage, thinning, redness, severe pigmentation, and steroid-induced rosacea. These side effects often become worse than the original concern. If you want to improve uneven skin tone or pigmentation, consult a qualified dermatologist who can prescribe safe, regulated topical treatments, recommend proper sunscreen (the single most important step for even skin tone), and use dermatologist-supervised procedures. Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic offers safe, ethical guidance for skin tone improvement — never products that damage your skin long-term.
Take your child to a dermatologist if they have persistent rashes lasting more than 2 weeks, severe diaper rash that isn't improving, eczema with intense itching disrupting sleep, frequent skin infections, scalp issues like fungal infections, severe acne (in teenagers), unusual birthmarks or moles, hair loss, recurrent allergic reactions, or any skin condition affecting their confidence or daily life. Children's skin is more sensitive than adult skin and needs gentler, specialized treatment. Our dermatologist at Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic, Dr. Kavita Pokhrel, has subspecialty expertise in pediatric dermatology — providing child-friendly, age-appropriate care for infants, children, and teenagers.
Use the ABCDE rule to check moles: Asymmetry (one half different from the other), Border irregularity (jagged or blurred edges), Color variation (multiple colors within one mole), Diameter larger than 6mm (size of a pencil eraser), and Evolution (any change in size, shape, color, or symptoms like bleeding or itching). Any mole showing these signs needs immediate evaluation. While skin cancer is less common in darker-skinned populations, it does occur in Nepalis and is often detected late. If you notice any suspicious mole, growth, sore that won't heal, or any change in existing moles, book a dermatology consultation at Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic right away.
For Nepali skin and Kathmandu's environment (high UV exposure, dust pollution, cold dry winters, humid monsoon), a simple, consistent routine works best: a gentle cleanser twice daily, a moisturizer suited to your skin type, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every single morning — even on cloudy days or indoors. Sunscreen is the most important step for preventing melasma, pigmentation, premature aging, and skin cancer. Avoid harsh scrubs, excessive product layering, and trendy ingredients without dermatologist guidance. Adjust hydration in winter and oil control in summer. For personalized skincare advice based on your skin type and concerns, book a consultation at Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic — we provide honest, evidence-based skincare recommendations.

Skin and hair conditions often require consistent follow-up to see real results — most dermatological issues don't resolve in a single visit. After your initial consultation at Tulsi Multi Speciality Clinic, your dermatologist will recommend a follow-up schedule based on your condition. Acne treatment usually requires follow-up every 4–6 weeks, melasma and pigmentation every 4–8 weeks, hair fall every 8–12 weeks, and chronic conditions like eczema or psoriasis every 1–3 months. Follow your prescribed routine consistently, use sunscreen daily (especially for pigmentation and acne patients), avoid picking or scratching affected areas, and take photos to track progress. Contact our clinic immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, worsening symptoms, sudden flare-ups, or any side effects from prescribed medications.
